Lin, Shuanghu & Zhang, Yalin, 2021, Taxonomic study of the leafhopper genus Anufrievia Dworakowska (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae: Erythroneurini) from China, with descriptions of two new species, Zootaxa 5027 (3), pp. 438-444 : 441

2. Anufrievia drepanoides Lin & Zhang sp. nov.

( Figs 1e–h , 3 )

Description. Crown, face except anteclypeus and anterior margin of pronotum yellow-whitish. Central and hind part of pronotum, scutellum and anteclypeus brown. Scutum light yellowish. Paired blurred spots at transition from vertex to face brown. Eyes grey, and basal triangles blackish. Fore wing and hind wing light brown, transparent.

Abdominal apodemes narrow and short ( Fig. 3b ).

Pygofer side with 8 macrosetae at cephalo-ventral angle. Central part of subgenital plate with about 4 macrosetae in irregular row near lateral margin ( Fig. 3a ). Apex of dorsal appendage not bifurcated, base broad, tapering to apex, moderately curved, resembling horn in lateral view ( Fig. 3d ). Area between style apical and subapical teeth convex, resembling a sickle in lateral view, with apical tooth much longer than subapical tooth ( Fig. 3e ). Aedeagal shaft with no apical or subapical processes, gonopore subapical, pre-atrial process surpassing aedeagal shaft and almost straight ( Figs 3g, h ).

Measurement. Length of male 2.7–2.9mm (including wing).

Material examined. Holotype: ♂, CHINA, Yunnan Prov., Jinghong , 15 July 2017, coll. Weijian Huang.

Remarks. This new species can be distinguished from other species in this genus by the style apex resembling a sickle in lateral view, the pre-atrial process surpassing the aedeagal shaft and the absence of processes on aedeagal shaft.

Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin “drepanoides”, referring to the style apex resembling a sickle or hook in lateral view.
