Male genitalia. Pygofer moderately sclerotized basally, dorsal and ventral margins usually membranous; basal lower angle and posterior margin with numerous short fine setae; dorsal pygofer appendage well sclerotized, movable, not exceeding posterior margin of pygofer; ventral appendage rarely present. Subgenital plate surpassing posterior margin of pygofer, broadened subbasally and narrowed towards apex (continuously broadened in some species); apex rounded, pointed or hooked; lateral margin usually with one to several rows of short, stout setae from subbase to subapex; 3 – 4 macrosetae present near midlength or subapically. Style with apex usually long and foot-like; preapical lobe distinctly enlarged. Connective lamellate, with distinct posterior stem and central anterior lobe. Aedeagal shaft tubular, preatrium well developed; with or without pair of processes; gonopore apical or subapical on ventral surface (Figs. 10, 11).	en	Jiao, Feiyue, Yuan, Xiaojuan, Li, Zizhong, Song, Yuehua (2026): A new leafhopper species of the genus Mitjaevia (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) from Guizhou Province, Southwest China.

0068EB27FFA0FFD0FF7FFB5A4896BA81.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This new species is similar to Mitjaevia dworakowskae Chen, Song & Webb, 2020 and Mitjaevia shibingensis Chen, Song & Webb, 2020 in external morphology, but can be distinguished by the following characters: preatrium slender, without processes on the dorsal apodeme, with base slightly expanded in ventral view; gonopore opening subapically; subgenital plate lacking stout setae along the median margin. The style is similar to that of M. dworakowskae, but differs in having a longer preapical extension, a well-developed anterolateral lobe, and a more distinctly curved neck.	en	Jiao, Feiyue, Yuan, Xiaojuan, Li, Zizhong, Song, Yuehua (2026): A new leafhopper species of the genus Mitjaevia (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) from Guizhou Province, Southwest China.
