Huang, Min & Zhang, Yalin, 2011, New species and new records of the leafhopper genus Aguriahana Distant (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) from China, Zootaxa 2830, pp. 39-54 : 46

6. Aguriahana simplex sp.nov.

Figs 6 a–c, 28–36.

Description. Vertex, pronotum and scutum yellowish. Pronutom with one blackish-brown horizontal narrow band at side. Color pattern of habitus, face and forewings as in Figs 6 a–c, female more bright. Abdomen with dorsum and center of venter blackish-brown, with base and side yellow; male with subgenital plate yellowish.

Vertex rounded anteriorly. Forewings with RP diverging from MP’ beyond midlength of MP’; hind wings with MP’’ situated on the level of CuA’’.

Abdominal apodemes reaching base of 5th abdominal sternite ( Fig. 28 ).

Male genitalia. Male pygofer side rounded; upper lobe with a few thin and rigid setae; lower lobe broad with angular protrusion at hind ventral margin ( Figs 29, 30 ). Subgenital plate with transitional part more broad than base, and with 2 macrosetae, about 4 peg-like setae and one pointed apical central seta ( Figs 31, 32 ). Apical part of paramere long, hooked at 1/3 of its length ( Fig. 34 ). Aedeagal shaft slightly arched with base broad, and without any process ( Figs 35, 36 ).

Measurement. Male 3.96 mm long, including wings.

Notes. This species belongs to the stellulata group. It resembles Aguriahana quadridens Dworakowska in color pattern, but can be distinguished from the latter by characters of male genitalia as follows: 1) side of pygofer without sclerotized teeth ( Fig. 30 ); 2) paramere without spur-like subapical tooth ( Fig. 34 ); 3) aedeagal shaft without process ( Figs 35, 36 ); A. quadridens has a pair of long basal processes.

Type material. Holotype, 3, CHINA. Sichuan Province: Mt. Gongga, altitude 2650 m, 5.xi.1999, coll. I. Dworakowska. Paratype, 7ƤƤ, same data as holotype.

Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin word “simplus” which refers to its simple color pattern compared to similar species.
