Yan, Bin & Yang, Mao-Fa, 2019, Chinese species of the genus of Agnesiella Dworakowska (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybini), with four new species and four new records, Zootaxa 4565 (2), pp. 151-170 : 154

Agnesiella (D.) innota sp. nov.

( Figs 22–24 , 54–55 , 91–97 )

Diagnosis. Length of male 3.1 mm. Body yellow. Crown without patches ( Figs 22, 24 ). Pronotum with four symmetrical patches on posterolateral margin, mesonotum and scutellum yellow, except mesonotum anterolateral triangles dark ( Figs 22, 24 ). Face yellowish, brownish below antennal ledge, or sordid beige ( Figs 23, 24 ). Forewing yellowish, with two oblique brown bands across middle ( Figs 22, 24 , 54 ).

Ventral appendage of pygofer longer than in A. (D.) furca sp. nov. ( Figs 85 , 91 ). Paramere slender, subapical tooth elongate nearly equal to apical part in length ( Fig. 93 ). Lamella of aedeagus expanded at apex ( Fig. 95 ), ventral process small or absent ( Figs 96, 97 ).

Type material. Holotype, ♂, Jinping National Natural Reserve , Yunnan Province, alt. 1670 m, 19 May 2015, coll. Bin Yan. Paratype, 4♂♂, same data as the holotype ; 6♂♂, Jinping National Natural Reserve , Yunnan Province, alt. 1670 m, 19 May 2015, light trap, coll. Bin Yan ; 1♂, Wenshan County, Yunnan Province, 23 Nov. 2016, light trap, coll. Yalin Yao.

Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin word innota, meaning “not, without”, and refers to the reduced or absent ventral process of the aedeagus.

Remarks. The new species differs from all other known species of Agnesiella in having the crown without two dark round patches ( Fig. 22 ) and the ventral process of the aedeagal shaft very small or absent ( Figs 96, 97 ).
