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 : 211-212

7. Anufrievia expansa Cao & Zhang sp. nov.

( Figs 6 , 25f )

Ground color sordid light orange, lora and genae pale, eyes and basal triangles of mesonotum black, two large patches at central part of pronotum pale, transparent.

Abdominal apodemes extended to the posterior margin of 3rd sternite ( Fig. 6a ).

Male genitalia: Pygofer with about 2 macrosetae at cephalo-ventral angle of lobe ( Fig. 6b ); dorsal appendage bifurcated, upper branch curved ventrad, longer than lower one ( Fig. 6c ). Style with apical tooth falcate, longer than subapical tooth, region between apical and subapical tooth serrated, flat or slightly concave ( Figs 6f, g ). Aedeagal shaft with pair of subapical processes moderately long; preatrial process long, surpassing gonopore, constricted medially and expanded apically in ventral view, apex concave; gonopore central ( Figs 6i, j ).

Measurement: Male 2.90–3.10mm.

Material examined: Holotype: ♂ [ QSBG], THAILAND: Phetchabun, Nam Nao NP, Pine forest / Sambon 2, 16°42.54'N, 101°35.03'E, 891m, Malaise trap, 2–9.x.2006, coll. Leng Janteab . Paratypes, 2♂♂ [ INHS], same data as holotype ; 1♂ [ INHS], Phetchabun, Nam Nao NP, Pine forest / Sambon 3, 16°42.41'N, 101°35.03'E, 868m, Malaise trap, 16–23.x.2006, coll. Noopean Hongyothi .

Remarks: Extremely similar to A. curva sp. nov., but upper tooth of pygofer dorsal appendage longer than the lower one and curved ventrad, region between apical and subapical tooth of style flat or slightly concave; middle part of preatrial process narrower.

Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “ expansus ”, referring to the expanded apex of the preatrial process.
