( Figs. 1–4, 11–12 View FIGURES 1–15 , 22–33 View FIGURES 22–33 )
Description. Crown pale orange, with pair of dark brown semilunar markings on anterior margin, small dark brown small spot and line along coronal suture medially, and dark brown longitudinal stripe on each side, extended posterad across pronotum and mesonotum ( Figs. 1, 3 View FIGURES 1–15 ). Eyes and ocelli pale. Forewing dark brown, translucent, veins yellow or yellowish-white ( Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 View FIGURES 1–15 ). Face pale yellow ( Figs. 11, 12 View FIGURES 1–15 ). Venter of thorax pale, legs pale with apices of tarsi dark brown.
Male genitalia. Male pygofer in lateral view ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 22–33 ) square-shaped, posterior margin nearly truncate, posterior margin with several short microsetae; pygofer process robust, curving posterodorsally, with brush-like arrangement of spines apically and an acute process on dorsal side ( Figs. 22, 23 View FIGURES 22–33 ). Subgenital plates ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 22–33 ) long, narrow, apices exceeding posterior margin of pygofer, with uniseriate macrosetae medially and some microsetae laterally. Aedeagus ( Figs. 24, 25 View FIGURES 22–33 ) with shaft short, flattened laterally, constricted and recurved apically, extended into a large spine-like process; basal apodeme short, fan-shaped in lateral view. Connective ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 22–33 ) Y-shaped. Style ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 22–33 ) slender, apex narrowly rounded with dense fine setae.
Female Genitalia. Female seventh sternite ( Fig. 29 View FIGURES 22–33 ) with posterior margin parabolically rounded; first valvulae ( Figs. 30, 31 View FIGURES 22–33 ) relatively broad, parallel sided through most of length then abruptly constricted with acuminate apex, dorsal and apical sculpturing sparsely scaly; second valvulae ( Figs. 32, 33 View FIGURES 22–33 ) weakly sclerotized in basal two thirds, distal part with dorsal margin broadly arched and with few widely spaced short, rounded teeth, abruptly constricted distally with beaklike apex.

Etymology. The species is named in honor of Professor Chandra Viraktamath in recognition of his many contributions to knowledge of the Oriental leafhopper fauna.
Remarks. This new species is readily distinguished from other species of the genus by the peculiar shape of the male pygofer process and the hooked end of the aedeagus.
Distribution. Thailand.
