Wang, Dongming & Zhang, Yalin, 2022, Three new species in the genus Chanohirata (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Penthimiini) from China, Zootaxa 5129 (3), pp. 432-441 : 438

Chanohirata yunnana Wang & Zhang sp. nov.

( Figs. 2. E–H , 4. G–L )

Measurement. Length of male including tegmen: 4.8–4.0 mm.

Coloration. Vertex pale yellowish, covered with dark brown reticulation; eyes grey; ocelli brown ( Fig. 2G ). Face black ( Fig. 2H ). Pronotum pale yellowish, marked with dark brown reticulation and yellowish brown patches. Scutellum pale yellowish with dark brown reticulation ( Fig. 2G ). Forewing subhyaline, with dense and dark brown reticulations ( Fig. 2E ).

Morphology. Head declivous, slightly narrower than pronotum; ocelli on crown, between eyes with their distance about 4.0 times that of ocellus to adjacent eye ( Figs. 2F, G ). Postclypeus flat; anteclypeus slightly convex, truncate at apex ( Fig. 2H ). Scutellum 0.40 times as long as pronotum ( Fig. 2G ).

Male genitalia. Pygophore lobes rounded caudally with short and long macrosetae near posterior margin ( Fig. 4G ). Valve triangular. Subgenital plate longer than length of pygofer, nearly triangular, with several short setae near the lateral margin and near apex ( Fig. 4H ). Style apex cheliform with developed preapical lobe, lateral margin sinuate ( Fig. 4I ). Connective similar to ‘T’-shape, similar in length to style, arms shorter than stem ( Fig. 4J ). Aedeagal shaft with dorsal ridge(poorly sclerotized wrinkled area) in lateral view, broad at base in ventral view, dorsal developed, preatrium small, gonopore on in ventral side ( Figs. 4K, L ).

Material examined. Holotype ♂ ( NWAFU), CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Dali , 17 July 2018, coll. Wang Dongming ; Paratypes: 1♂ ( NWAFU), same data as holotype ; 1♂ ( NWAFU), CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Dali , 23 July 2005, coll. Lu Lin.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to C. theae , but can be distinguished from the later by the aedeagal shaft with a dorsal ridge in lateral view.

Etymology. This new species epithet refers to the type locality, Yunnan.
