Cao, Yanghui, Yang, Meixia, Lin, Shuanghu & Zhang, Yalin, 2018, Review of the leafhopper genus Anufrievia Dworakowska (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae: Erythroneurini), Zootaxa 4446 (2), pp. 203-232 : 205-206

3. Anufrievia arcuata Yang & Zhang sp. nov.

( Fig. 2 )

Body orange yellowish. Transition area from vertex to face orange at central part. Eyes and basal triangles of mesonotum blackish. Pronotum with whitish dumbbell-shaped streak near middle anterior margin. Fore wing beige.

Male genitalia: Pygofer with about 4 macrosetae at cephalo-ventral angle of lobe ( Fig. 2a ), apex of dorsal appendage not bifurcated, base broad, tapering to apex ( Fig. 2b ). Style with apical tooth shorter than subapical tooth ( Fig. 2c ). Aedeagal shaft broad in lateral view, almost straight, apical processes symmetric, hooked in ventral view; preatrial process developed, slightly sinuated, apex reaching gonopore; gonopore subapical ( Figs 2e, f ).

Measurement: Male 2.50mm, female 2.55mm.

Material examined: Holotype: ♂ [ NWAFU], CHINA: Yunnan Prov., Menglong , 24.xii.1999, coll. Qin Daozheng . Paratypes: 1♀ [ NWAFU], same data as holotype ; 1♂ [ NWAFU], CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Mengyuan, Sancha River , 950m, 20.xii.1999, coll. I. Dworakowska.

Remarks: This new species is similar to A. cervena Dworakowska , but can be distinguished by bifurcated apex of style, straight pygofer dorsal appendage, and the shortened part of aedeagus from gonopore to apex.

Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “ arcuatus ”, referring to the hooked apical processes of aedeagal shaft.
