Duan, Yani & Zhang, Yalin, 2012, Review of the grass feeding leafhopper genus Paramesodes Ishihara (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Deltocephalini) from China, Zootaxa 3151, pp. 53-62 : 56-57

Paramesodes cangshanae sp. n.

( Fig. 3 ; Plate I: C)

Length. Male: 5.9–6.2mm; female: 6.3–6.5mm.

Coloration, structure is similar to P. annamae .

Male genitalia. Pygofer long, process relatively slender and straight ( Figs 3 A, 3B), in lateral view projecting posteroventrally ( Fig. 3 A), in dorsal view only apex curved laterally ( Fig. 3 B).

Material examined. Holotype: 3, China, Yunnan Prov., Dali City, Cangshan, altitude: 2200m, 12 November 1999, coll. Qin Daozheng ( NWAFU). Paratype: 13, China, Yunnan Prov., Dali City, Cangshan, altitude: 2000m, 12 November 1999, coll. Qin Daozheng ( NWAFU).

Remarks. This species runs to couplet 9 in Wilson’s (1983) key. It is similar to P. tawae in its long pygofer, but differs from this and other species in its narrower and relatively straight pygofer process in dorsal view. Etymology. The name is derived from the place collected types.
