Cao, Yanghui & Zhang, Yalin, 2014, Taxonomic study of the leafhopper genera Gredzinskiya Dworakowska and Musbrnoia Dworakowska (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae: Erythroneurini) with descriptions of seven new species, Zootaxa 3753 (1), pp. 59-70 : 64-66

6. Gredzinskiya zhangae sp. nov.

( Figs 1 m–p, 6)

Description. Body ( Figs 1 m–p) pale. Male anteclypeus extremely broad.

Male 2S abdominal apodemes (Fig. 6a) not reaching hind margin of third sternite.

Pygofer side (Fig. 6b) with reduced number of macrosetae at lower basal angle and with about 5 microsetae along hind margin. Subgenital plate (Fig. 6e) with row of 6–7 macrosetae, lateral microsetae in irregular rows, subapical setae shorter. Style (Fig. 6f) relatively narrow, subapical tooth perpendicular to apical tooth. Connective (Fig. 6g) with manubrium relatively broad, tapered, central lobe narrow. Aedeagal shaft (Figs 6h, i) similar to that of G. serrata sp. nov., but less expanded subapically in ventral view, dorsal margin serrate basally, distal paired processes far away from preapical pair and smaller.

Measurement. Male length 4.2mm.

Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Jinghong, Bubeng, light trap, 03. ix. 2010, coll. Zhang Meng

Deposition. Entomological Museum, NWAFU, Yangling, China.

Diagnosis. Very similar to G. serrata sp. nov., but central lobe of connective narrower, aedeagus with dorsal margin serrate basally, and apical paired processes smaller than preapical pair.

Etymology. The new species is named after the collector, Zhang Meng.
