Scaphoideus festivus Matsumura, 1902: 384 .

Description. Coloration & external morphology. Head narrower than pronotum; anterior margin roundly prominent, pale with transverse wide orange band between ocelli, without apical black spot; medial length of vertex 1.3 times as long as length next to eyes and 0.3 times as long as width of head; frontoclypeus pale with 2 or 3 narrow black stripes near anterior margin; clypellus, gena and lorum pale and immaculate. Pronotum 2.2 times as wide as long, longer than mesonotum, darkened near anterior margin, pale at center, pale orange at posterior half; mesonotum pale orange at apical half and pale at posterior half. Fore wing brownish semitransparent; ventral surface of thorax, legs and abdominal segments pale. Caudal margin of female 7th abdominal sternite roundly produced caudally and not incised medially.

Male genitalia. Pygofer long and gradually tapered apically in lateral view, with a tuft of very long macrosetae apically and many shorter macrosetae subapically, without pygofer process. Subgenital plate triangular and long, as long as half length of pygofer, provided with row of 3 macrosetae near base. Style slightly slender; preapical lobe small and weakly rounded; apophysis (apical process) long, pointed apically, weakly curved laterally, with 3 short hairs. Connective with pair of long processes; processes 3 times as long as connective, distinctly widened at apical 1/3, forming like arrowhead; arms short, somewhat apart to each other. Aedeagus small and robust; shaft short, as long as basal apodeme; gonopore subapical on ventral surface.

Body length (mean). ♂, 4.5–5.3 mm (5.0 mm); ♀, 5.1–5.9 mm (5.6 mm).

Distribution. Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu); Korea, China, Russia.

Remarks. Although the shape of the processes of the connective is somewhat similar to those of S. jogensis Viraktamath et Mohan from India and S. midvittatus Li et Wang from China, this species is easily distinguishable from the latter two in the shape of the style, particularly the length of the apodeme and shape of the apophysis.
