Maiestas irwini Duan, Dietrich & Zhang, Irwin’s grass leafhopper

Maiestas irwini Duan, Dietrich & Zhang, 2017: 75

Diagnosis. This species is similar to M. viraktamathi and M. webbi but differs from both in the absence of any indication of a posterior heel at the base of the aedeagus and in the shape of the apical process of the paramere. It shares the presence of an apical tuft of hair setae on the subgenital plate with M. viraktamathi . The front margin of the vertex is somewhat more triangular than in other species. Pale brown longitudinal striping on vertex and pronotum is a feature also found in M. veta .

Distribution. Australia (NSW, NT, Qld)
