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 : 218-219

14. Anufrievia parisakazu Cao & Zhang sp. nov.

( Figs 12 , 25l )

Vertex and anterior margin of pronotum sordid yellowish, paired spots at transition from vertex to face and transverse stripe along hind margin of vertex black, region between spots and stripe light orange; face with frontoclypeus and anteclypeus brown, lorum and genae pale. Hind part of pronotum and mesonotum light brown. Forewing light brown, transparent, brochosome field darker.

Abdominal apodemes broad and short ( Fig. 12a ).

Male genitalia: Pygofer side with about 3 macrosetae at cephalo-ventral angle ( Fig. 12b ); apex of dorsal appendage slightly bifurcated ( Fig. 12c ). Style with apical tooth shorter than subapical tooth ( Fig. 12f ). Aedeagal shaft with pair of subapical processes moderately long; preatrial process broad basally, reaching gonopore; gonopore central ( Figs 12h, i ).

Measurement: Male 3.40–3.60mm, female 3.40mm.

Material examined: Holotype: ♂ [ NWAFU], CHINA: Shaanxi Prov., Louguantai , 15.Xi.1983, coll. Zhang Yalin . Paratypes: 1♂ 1♀ [ NWAFU], same data as holotype .

Remarks: This species is very similar to A. akazu (Matsumura) , but has the apical tooth of style longer; aedeagal shaft processes longer, shifted apically, and oriented opposite from the latter (upper process right-directed and lower process left-directed in posterior view); gonopore shifted basad.

Etymology: The new species epithet is derived from the Latin prefix “para-” meaning near, and the name “ akazu ”, in view of the genitalia resembling that of A. akazu (Matsumura) .
