Yanghui, Cao, Min, Huang & Yalin, Zhang, 2012, Irenaneura, a new leafhopper genus from China (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae: Erythroneurini), with description of four new species, Zootaxa 3333, pp. 58-65 : 61

2. Irenaneura dworakowski sp. nov. ( Figs 2, 5, 9 , 23–31 )

Description: Color pattern as in I. longiprocessa , but face darker, and mesonotum lighter. ( Figs 2, 5, 9 )

Male pygofer dorsal appendage as in I. longiprocessa , but slightly shorter and exceeding pygofer side at its caudo-dorsal angle ( Figs 23, 24 ). Subgenital plate broadened basally; with 2–3 irregular rows of thickened microsetae subbasally, several basal microsetae and microsetae of outer row much more blunt ( Fig. 26 ). Style as in I. longiprocessa ( Figs 27, 28 ). Connective triangular, two arms broadened ( Fig. 29 ). Aedeagal shaft with minute teeth restricted to dorsal area from midlength to subapex, pair of bifurcate preatrial processes ventrobasally, arising close to shaft, ventral branches slightly longer and thicker than dorsal ones; dorsal apodeme inconspicuous; preatrium long ( Figs 30, 31 ).

Measurement: Male length 3.8mm (including wing).

Material examined: Holotype: 3, CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Mengyuan, Sanchahe, 950m, 20-xii-1999, coll. I. Dworakowska. Paratype: 3, same data as holotype.

Diagnosis: Resembling I. longiprocessa , but connective short with arms broadened, and aedeagal shaft evenly thick, with basal processes bifurcate and shorter than shaft.

Etymology: The species is named for the collector Dr. I. Dworakowska.
