03A1895BFFDA7F5CB9AD1F84DDF0B889.taxon	description	Description: Head with vertex broadly rounded and produced anteriorly, median length subequal to the interocular width; surface convex, with distinct coronal suture and carinate margins. Ocelli placed on anterolateral margins of vertex, adjacent to eyes. Face with frontoclypeus slightly convex, flattened medially, with transverse impressions on both sides. Pronotum broad, wider than head, nearly equal in length to vertex, posteromedian area with faint black markings. Scutellum triangular, approximately as long as pronotum. Forewings elongated, extending beyond the apex of abdomen; venation at base of corium indistinct, apical portion narrowed, four apical cells present. Male genitalia. Pygofer side lobe produced outward in lateral view, bearing coarse, long setae apically and usually with elongate processes on apical margin; subgenital plate elongate and lamellar, with a row of coarse, long setae along the lateral margin; aedeagus simple, often with basal processes; connective Y-shaped, with extremely elongate stem; style roughly clavate.	en	Li, Ting, Xing, Jichun, Li, Yujian (2026): A review of the genus Longiconnecta (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Evacanthinae) from China, with description of a new species.

03A1895BFFD97F5AB9AD1AAADADFBA53.taxon	description	(Figs 13 – 21) Description. Body length including wings: approximately 4.6 – 4.8 mm in males. Anterior margin of crown (Fig. 13) broadly rounded and produced, with median length slightly longer than lateral margins, approximately equal to median length of the pronotum. Ocelli placed on anterolateral margins of crown, immediately adjacent to eyes. Face slightly convex in frontoclypeal region with median area flattened and bearing transverse impressed markings laterally. Pronotum wider than the head, median area slightly convex and sloping laterad; anterior margin arcuate and posterior margin slightly concave. Scutellum and crown subequal in length, with transverse suture situated in median posterior portion. Body (Figs 13 – 15) yellowish-white. Crown bright yellow. Eyes black; ocelli concolorous with body. Pronotum with a faint black macula on median area and two black maculae on basal area, the median macula connected to basal ones; a white macula present between median area and each basal lateral area. Forewing milky white, translucent, veins pale; wing surface with indistinct pale purple luster. Thoracic sternites and legs pale yellowish-white; tibiae with several small dark maculae. Male genitalia. Pygofer lobe (Fig. 16) approximately triangular, produced, distal margins extended posteriorly into smooth linear processes, distal regions bearing several robust long setae. Subgenital plate (Fig. 21) long, lamellar, with median longitudinal row of macrosetae distally and slender setae along margins. Aedeagus (Fig. 18) with broad base, tapering distally into straight tube, bearing a pair of slender processes on both sides of base, shorter than aedeagal shaft. Connective (Fig. 19) Y-shaped, main stem longer than lateral arms. Style (Fig. 20) relatively short and small, stem approximately 3 times longer than arms.	en	Li, Ting, Xing, Jichun, Li, Yujian (2026): A review of the genus Longiconnecta (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Evacanthinae) from China, with description of a new species.

03A1895BFFD97F5AB9AD1AAADADFBA53.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is similar to L. albula Cai & Shen but can be distinguished by the aedeagus morphology and the process of the male pygofer lateral lobe.	en	Li, Ting, Xing, Jichun, Li, Yujian (2026): A review of the genus Longiconnecta (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Evacanthinae) from China, with description of a new species.
