Huang, Min & Zhang, Yalin, 2011, New species and new records of the leafhopper genus Aguriahana Distant (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) from China, Zootaxa 2830, pp. 39-54 : 46-48

7. Aguriahana longicorna sp. nov.

Figs 7 a–c, 37–46.

Description. Face, most of vertex and scutum reddish or yellowish ocher; anterior margin of vertex and pronotum yellowish; in lateral view 2 parallel horizonal narrow bands on anterior margin of head extending to side of pronotum blackish brown, area between bands yellowish. Color pattern of habitus, face and forewings as in Figs 7 a–c. Vertex extended anteriorly. Forewings with RP diverging from MP’ beyond midlength of MP’; hind wings with apical RP vestigial and with MP’’ situated in line with CuA’’.

Abdominal apodemes reaching end of 5th abdominal sternite ( Fig.37 ).

Male genitalia. Side of pygofer tall, upper lobe long with numerous tubercles, several teeth and few rigid setae terminally; central lobe narrow with numerous rigid short setae; lower lobe round with small protrusion at caudoventral angle ( Figs 38, 39 ). Subgenital plate short with 2 basal macrosetae, 3 peg-like setae and several rigid short setae ( Figs 40, 41 ). Paramere straight with subapical tooth spur-like ( Figs 43, 44 ). Aedeagal shaft with laminar extension terminally at ventral margin and with single long ventral process slightly arched not exceeding apex of shaft ( Figs 45, 46 ).

Measurement. Male 3.90 mm, female 3.69 mm long, including wings.

Notes. This species belongs to the stellulata group and resembles Aguriahana deviata Dworakowska in external color pattern. It differs from the latter species in being darker and having 3 peg-like setae on the subgenital plate ( Fig.41 ) and the ventral process of the aedeagal shaft arising near base ( Figs 45, 46 ).

Type material. Holotype, 3, CHINA. Yunnan Province: Xinzhu Botanical Garden, altitude 2300 m, 16.xi.1999, coll. I. Dworakowska. Paratype, same data as holotype except, 132ƤƤ, altitude 2500 m, Alnus , 15.xi.1999; 2ƤƤ, altitude 2500 m, 15.xi.1999.

Etymology. The specific name is derived from the combined Latin word “ longicorna ” which refers to the long ventral process of the aedeagal shaft.
