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 : 49-50

9. Aguriahana recticornis sp. nov.

Figs 9 a–c, 58–66.

Description. Face and vertex yellowish. In lateral view horizonal band on anterior margin of vertex extending to side of pronotum, blackish. Side and posterior part of pronotum and scutum brownish. Color pattern of habitus, face and forewings as in Figs 9 a–c. in some specimens claval area of forewings yellowish. Abdomen yellowish, male with caudodorsal margin of pygofer side blackish brown.

Vertex extended anteriorly. Forewings with RP diverging from MP’ beyond midlength of MP’; hindwings with CuA’’ shifted toward wing apex.

Abdominal apodemes reaching base of 6th abdominal sternite ( Fig. 58 ).

Male genitalia. Side of pygofer narrowed caudally; upper lobe long and narrow with several teeth terminally; lower lobe rounded with numerous short rigid setae ( Figs 59, 60 ). Subgenital plate with 5 basal macrosetae, 4 peglike setae and one twisted apical setae ( Figs 62, 64 ). Caudal part of paramere long with subapical tooth weekly extended ( Fig.63 ). Aedeagus with a pair of long apically sinuated basal processes extending to apex of shaft ( Figs 65, 66 ).

Measurement. Male 3.61 mm long, including wings.

Notes. This species belongs to the stellulata group and is similar to Aguriahana picta Dworakowska in external color pattern and male genitalia, but differs from the latter by the absence of dorsal and ventral single short processes on the aedeagal shaft ( Figs 65, 66 ).

Type material. Holotype, 3, CHINA. Yunnan Province: Xinzhu Botanical Garden, Lijiang, Juglans , altitude 2300 m, 14.xi.1999, coll. I. Dworakowska. Paratype, 13, same data as holotype; 13, 16.xi.1999; 13, 15.xi.1999, altitude 2250 m, other data same as holotype.

Etymology. The specific name is derived from the combined Latin word “ recticornis ” which refers to the straight processes of the aedeagal shaft.
