Abstract. New monobasic genera Conjucella selene gen. et sp.n. (Lower Cretaceous of Transbaikalia) and Cinemala contrasta gen. et sp.n. (Middle or Upper Jurassic of Mongolia) are placed in the new subfamily Conjucellinae subfam.n. (Hylicellidae) along with Homopterites Handlirsch, 1906 from the uppermost Triassic of England and Liassocercopis Ansorge, 1996 from the Lower Jurassic of Germany. Purbecellus gen.n. is proposed for Cicadellium psocus Westwood, 1854 (= Cercopidium telesphorus Westwood, 1854): Purbecellus psocus (Westwood, 1854), comb.n. (Archijassidae: Karajassinae).
