03A9878DFFC0D866C7DCFDD8096A0F00.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet lidoctoris is a compound Latin word, which combines by the family name Li and the Latin genitive form doctoris meaning distinguished scholar and erudite expert. This new species is named in honour of Professor Zi-Zhong Li, a prominent expert engaged in leafhopper taxonomy research. The naming is dedicated to celebrating his 90 th birthday, and expresses sincere respect for his lifelong devotion and outstanding academic achievements in the field of entomology and insect systematics.	en	Jiang, Yan, Yang, Maofa (2026): Two new species of Atkinsoniella (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae) from China.
