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 : 221-223

18. Anufrievia sphenoides Yang & Zhang sp. nov.

( Figs 16 , 25p )

Body orange-brown. Head with pair of brown semilunar patches at transition to face. Posterior margin of crown with brown streak medially. Face light yellowish, anteclypeus and frontoclypeal area orange-brown. Eyes blackish. Pronotum orange-brown, with two whitish elliptic patches medially. Basal triangles of mesonotum blackish. Fore wing brown.

Male genitalia: Pygofer with 1–2 macroseta(e) at cephalo-ventral angle of lobe ( Fig. 16a ), apex of dorsal appendage pointed ( Fig. 16b ). Subgenital plate with 5 macrosetae ( Fig. 16a ). Style with apical tooth much longer than subapical tooth ( Figs 16c, d ). Aedeagal shaft short, with pair of sphenoid processes just below gonopore, apical processes long, hook-like in ventral view; preatrial process short, apex pointed in ventral view; gonopore central ( Figs 16f, g ).

Measurement: Male 3.05mm, female 3.15mm.

Material examined: Holotype: ♂ [ NWAFU], CHINA: Yunnan Prov., Jinghong City, 750m, 5.xii.1999, coll. I. Dworakowska . Paratypes: CHINA, Yunnan Prov.: 1♀ [ NWAFU], Jinghong , 600m, 25.xii.1999, coll. Qin Daozheng ; 2♂♂ 3♀♀, Menglun , 700m, 11.xii.1999, coll. I. Dworakowska ; 2♂♂ 1♀ [ NWAFU], Menglun, 600m, 11.xii.1999, coll. I. Dworakowska? 1♀ [ NWAFU], Menglun , 570m, 11.xii.1999, coll. I. Dworakowska ; 1♂ [ NWAFU], Menglong , 24.xii.1999, coll. Qin Daozheng .

Remarks: This new species is similar to A. arcuata sp. nov. but the aedeagal shaft is shorter and thinner, with a pair of sphenoid processes just below the gonopore, and the preatrial process is shorter.

Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Greek word “ sphenos ”, referring to the aedeagal shaft having a pair of sphenoid processes.
