Type material. Holotype 3, THAILAND: Chaiyaphum, Pa Hin Ngam NP, Thung Dok Kra Jeow in Dry evergreen, 15°38.438'N 101°23.576'E, 780m, Malaise trap, 1–7.Jan.2007, Katae Sa-nog & Buakaw Adnafai leg. T1454 ( QSBG).
Etymology: This new species is named after Dr. Chris Dietrich, Illinois Natural History Survey, USA, in recognition of his contribution to leafhopper studies.
Description. Body length (including tegmen):3 5.8mm.
Male genitalia: Pygophore relatively short, dorsal margin sloping to broadly rounded posterior margin, ventro-posterior margin with an internal moderately long process, curved caudodorsally. Subgenital plate very short. Connective with arms slightly longer than stem. Aedeagal shaft in lateral view relatively broad over basal half with ventral margin slightly concave distally; apical process with length slightly more than 2/3 length of shaft; basal apodeme very broad in ventral view.
Diagnosis: This species is similar to Mimotettix spinosus but can be distinguished from the latter by its narrower aedeagal shaft without a triangular flange and shorter subgenital plate. The species is also similar to Mimotettix robustistylus sp. nov., but differs from the latter by its short subgenital plate and internal pygofer process.
Distribution. Thailand ( Fig.16 View FIGURE 16 ).
