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 : 223-224

19. Anufrievia subapicifixa Yang & Zhang sp. nov.

( Figs 17 , 25q )

Body orange. Eyes and basal triangles of mesonotum blackish. Fore wing brown.

Male genitalia: Pygofer with single macroseta at cephalo-ventral angle of lobe and 1 macroseta at junction area with anal tube ( Fig. 17b ); apex of dorsal appendage bifurcated, with the upper tooth longer than the lower one ( Figs 17c, d ). Apex of style foot-like ( Fig. 17g ). Subapical processes of aedeagal shaft long; preatrial process slim and long, nearly reaching gonopore; gonopore near middle ( Figs 17i, j ).

Measurement: Male 3.15–3.40mm, female 3.20mm.

Material examined: Holotype: ♂ [ NWAFU], CHINA: Sichuan Prov. , Moxi County, 1600m, 4.xi.1999, coll. I. Dworakowska. Paratypes: 2♂♂ 2♀♀ [ NWAFU], CHINA: Sichuan Prov., Wolong, 26.x.1999, coll. I. Dworakowska.

Remarks: This new species is similar to A. wolongensis sp. nov. but can be distinguished by the aedeagal shaft with a pair of subapical processes which are shorter, and the preatrial process being shorter.

Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Latin prefix “ sub- ” and Latin words “ apiculus ” and “ fixus ”, referring to the aedeagal shaft having subapical processes.
