Li, Yu-Jian & Li, Zi-Zhong, 2011, Descriptions of six new species of Midoria (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Ledrinae) from China with a key to the species of the genus, Zootaxa 2897, pp. 57-63 : 60

Midoria zunyiensis sp. nov.

Figs 9–12 , 27, 30

Description. Head, pronotum and scutellum brown. Median length of vertex about as long as 2/3 of half width between eyes, shorter than scutellum obviously ( Fig. 27 ). Face black ( Fig. 30 ).

Male genitalia: Paramere long, anterior portion shorter and more slender than caudal portion, caudal portion obviously robust, apex strongly recurved medioventrally, with some macrosetae near recurved area ( Figs 9, 10 ). Connective approximately T-shaped with high dorsomedial keel ( Figs 9, 10 ). Aedeagus shaft slightly compressed, with long process arising from each side of posterior margin basally, process apex slightly wider than base ( Fig. 10 ). Pygofer approximately orbicular, with long process originating from ventral margin ( Fig. 11 ).

Other characteristics are as shown in Figs 9–12 , 27, 30 .

Measurement. Length (including tegmen): 3, 6.5 mm.

Hosts. Unknown.

Type Material. Holotype 3, CHINA: Guizhou, CHINA: Guizhou, Zunyi, Suiyang, Kuankuoshui, 6 June 2010, coll. Li Yujian. Paratype: 13, CHINA: Guizhou, Suiyang, Kuankuoshui, 7 June 2010, coll. Dai Renhuai & Li Hu. ( GUGC).

Remarks. This species is similar to Midoria longicornis (Zhang & Yang) , but can be distinguished by the shape of aedeagal shaft in side view, the shape of the paramere and the shape of the aedeagal ventrosubapical processes ( Figs 9, 10 ).

Etymology. The species name is derived from the type locality.
