( Figs 109–118 , 145 , 154 , 163 , 172 )

Empoasca (Matsumurasca) quadrifida Qin & Zhang, 2008: 24 , preoccupied by E. quadrifida Southern, 1982 .

Type locality. Mianning County, Sichuan Prov., China. ( NWAFU).

Distribution. China (Sichuan, Yunnan).

Remarks. The species E. (M.) quadrifida Qin & Zhang (2008) is a junior homonym of E. quadrifida Southern, 1982 , and this new name is proposed as a replacement for Qin & Zhang’s (2008) name.

Etymology. The replacement name is an adjective derived from the Latin words “ quad ” meaning four and “ alatus ” meaning wing, referring to the four processes on the aedeagal shaft.
