( Figs 26–34 , 140 , 149 , 158 , 167 )

Empoasca (Matsumurasca) clypeata Qin & Zhang, 2008: 20 , preoccupied by E. clypeata Gillette and Baker, 1895 .

Type locality. Dahaoping, Tengchong, Yunnan Prov., China. ( NWAFU).

Other specimens examined. China: 1 3 Dahaoping, Tengchong, Yunnan Prov., 26 Nov. 1999, 1950–2000 m, coll. Irena Dworakowska; 1 3, Mt. Taibao, Yunnan Prov., 20 Nov. 1999, 1900 m; 2 3, Dahaoping, Tengchong, Yunnan Prov., 24 Nov. 1999, 2000 m; 1 3, Jindian, Kunming, Yunnan Prov., 2 Jan. 2000, all coll. Daozheng Qin. Distribution. China (Yunnan).

Remarks. The species E. (M.) clypeata Qin & Zhang (2008) is pre-occupied by Empoasca clypeata Gillette and Baker (1895) . The latter was moved to the subgenus Empoasca (Kybos) , by De Long (1931) and this has been accepted by most subsequent workers. Because E. clypeata Gillette and Baker (1895) was validly published earlier, E. (M.) clypeata Qin & Zhang 2008 is a junior homonym according to Art. 57.2 and Art. 57.4 (ICZN 4th edition, 2000) (Dr Sterling Southern, pers. comm. 2010).

Etymology. The replacement name is an adjective derived from the Latin word “ clypealatus ” also refers to the peculiar clypellus of this species.
