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 : 220-221

17. Anufrievia quadrata Cao & Zhang sp. nov.

( Figs 15 , 25o )

Ground color of holotype orange, vertex with pair of dark patches at transition to face, eyes grey, basal triangles black. Natural color of paratype changed after removal from alcohol. Head and thorax testaceous, eyes grey, basal triangles of mesonotum black, fore wing light brown.

Abdominal apodemes broad, not extended to hind margin of 3rd sternite ( Fig. 15a ).

Male genitalia: Pygofer with 1–2 macroseta(e) at cephalo-ventral angle of lobe ( Fig. 15b ); dorsal appendage triangular, slightly curved ventrad apically, with small protrusion medially on ventral surface ( Fig. 15c ). Style curved dorsad subapically, apical tooth much longer and broader than subapical tooth ( Figs 15f, g ). Aedeagal shaft long, with paired apical processes which slightly expand apically, apical processes of paratype longer than those of holotype and obviously bent; preatrial process short, not reaching gonopore, almost rectangular in ventral view; gonopore near middle ( Figs 15i –l ).

Measurement: Male 2.90–3.00mm.

Material examined: Holotype: ♂ [ QSBG], THAILAND: Phetchabun, Khao Kho NP, Deciduous forest at Ta Pol River , 16°32.539'N, 101°2.483'E, 242m, Malaise trap, 12–19.v.2007, coll. Somchai Chachumnan & Saink Singtong . Paratype: 1♂ [ INHS], THAILAND: Phetchabun, Thung Salaeng Luang NP, Gang Wang nam yen 3, 16°34.36'N, 100°52.83‘E, 725m, Malaise trap, 30.vii–6.viii. 2007, coll. Pongpitak & Sathit .

Remarks: Distinguished from all the other species by the shortened and rectangular preatrial process. Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “ quadratus ”, referring to the shape of preatrial process in ventral view.
