CC2E87B0FFB33577E0AAFEF1C24DAA9D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Agnesiella, together with Linnavuoriana, Vatana, and related genera, constitutes the Linnavuoriana complex. These genera share similar morphological characters, such as a pair of round spots on the crown and elongate fine setae on the pygofer side. Agnesiella can be distinctly separated as follows: pronotum with a round spot near anterior margin in middle; subgenital plate club-shaped.	en	Deng, Ziyue, Yang, Maofa, Yan, Bin (2026): One new species and one new record of the leafhopper genus Agnesiella Dworakowska, 1970 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae: Typhlocybini) from China.
