Cao, Yanghui, Yang, Meixia, Lin, Shuanghu & Zhang, Yalin, 2018, Review of the leafhopper genus Anufrievia Dworakowska (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae: Erythroneurini), Zootaxa 4446 (2), pp. 203-232 : 226-227

22. Anufrievia symmetrica Cao & Zhang sp. nov.

( Figs 20 , 25t )

Natural coloration changed after removal from alcohol. Ground color infuscated, vertex with transverse stripe at hind margin dark, face testaceous, eyes grey, basal triangles of mesonotum black. Fore wing light brown.

Male genitalia: Pygofer side without macrosetae at cephalo-ventral angle ( Fig. 20a ); dorsal appendage triangular, sinuated ( Fig. 20b ). Style slender apically, without apical and subapical tooth ( Fig. 20e ). Aedeagal shaft long, paired apical processes symmetric, long, curved laterad; preatrial process extremely short, not reaching gonopore; gonopore subbasal ( Figs 20g, h ).

Measurement: Male 2.80mm.

Material examined: Holotype: ♂ [ QSBG], THAILAND: Petchaburi , Kaeng Krachan NP Panernthung/km30, 12°49.598'N, 99°21.827'E, Malaise trap, 12–19. ix. 2008, coll. Sirichai & Chusak.

Remarks: Very similar to A. cervena Dworakowska , but style not pointed subapically on lateral margin, aedeagal shaft narrower, gonopore shifted basad, and preatrial process much shorter.

Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Greek word “ symmetros ”, referring to the symmetric apical aedeagal processes.
