Kuchingella Wei & Webb，gen. n.在首次描述该种雄虫的基础上，将其划分为异角叶蝉亚科Megipocerini族，模式种为Chunra rabutea Distant。讨论了新属与相关属Megipocerus Zachvatkin的相似性。这两个属的喙是性别二型。
Kuchingella Wei & Webb, gen. n. is established in the leafhopper tribe Megipocerini of the subfamily Idiocerinae, with Chunra gigantea Distant as its type species, based on the description of the male of this species for the first time. The similarity of the new genus to the related genus, Megipocerus Zachvatkin, is discussed. The rostrum of both genera is sexually dimorphic.
