The genus ArboridiaZachvatkin, 1946 belongs to the tribe Erythroneurini of subfamily Typhlocybinae (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae). Some members of the genus Arboridia are known as grape pests in the world as well as in Korea, and most of them have been also known as pests on cherry, hawthorn, pear, peach, apple, mulberry, maple, woodbine, dogwood, and several other plants (Song & Li, 2013). A total of 69 valid species have been described in the Palaearctic and Oriental regions (Song & Li, 2013). So far, eight species of this genus have been recorded in the Korean Peninsula (Kwon & Huh 2001).
In this study, two new records of the genus from the Korean Peninsula are reported, and descriptions, genital illustrations and dorsal habitus of the species with a key to the Korean Arboridia species are presented. The specimens used for this study are stored at Laboratory of Systematic Entomology, Chungnam National University, Daejeon, Korea. The genital segments were detached from abdomen and macerated 10% KOH for about 60 min for dissection to examine male genitalia.

Diagnoses
The genus Arboridia can be identified by vertex with one or two pair of dark spots, and style apex with 3 points. Pronotum without conspicuous pits. Abdominal apodemes small and pygofer lobes without thick bristles. Subgenital plates have one group bristles at the middles of outer margin.
