The leafhopper genus Anufrievia was established by Dworakowska with A. rolikae Dworakowska as its type species. They are widely distributed in China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Nepal, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.
Two new species, A. ventricosa sp. nov. and A. unianxialis sp. nov., found in the karst area of Guanling and Shibing City, Guizhou Province, China are described and illustrated. The key to the identification of the specie of this genus is given.
Cicadellidae, Erythroneurini, taxonomy, morphology, new species
The leafhopper genus Anufrievia belongs to the tribe Erythroneurini of Typhlocybinae and previously contained 35 species, including 27 species in China (
Anufrievia Dworakowska, 1970
Anufrievia
Type species: Anufrievia rolikae
Main characteristics of genus Anufrievia were described as follows. Body brown or yellow. Head slightly narrower than pronotum. Length of crown obviously shorter than inter-ocular width. Vertex moderately produced medially; anterior margin usually with small paired dark spots, sometimes absent. Pronotum broad, with anterior margin convex and posterior margin slightly concave. Scutellum with dark lateral triangles. Face without black spots anterodorsad of antennal pits. Anteclypeus pale, concolorous with rest of face or brown or black. Forewing with 4th apical cell small, not reaching apex of forewing, 2nd apical cell nearly rectangular and 1st apical cell broad. Hind-wing apex broadly rounded. Hind-wings' venation follows typical schemes for Erythroneurini taxa. Abdominal apodemes short, extended dorsomesad.
Male pygofer lobe with hind margin sleeked or truncated slightly, cephalo-ventral angle usually with macrosetae, sometimes absent and scattered with a few fine setae in outer lateral surface. Pygofer dorsal appendage movably articulated to pygofer lobe with ventral appendage absent. Subgenital plate broad basally, tapering to middle, subparallel-sided from middle to apex and rounded apically; with some macrosetae in mid-ventral part; row of stout setae along upper margin almost from subbase to apex. Style with shape of apex various, bifid, foot-shaped or otherwise modified. Aedeagus with aedeagal shaft tubular; gonopore sub-basal to subapical on ventral surface; with or without well-developed pre-atrial processes, dorsal apodeme well developed. Connective lateral arms long Y- or V-shaped.
The specimen was collected by the sweeping-net method. Morphological terminology used follows
Body brownish-black. Head milky yellow (Fig.
Male genitalia
Pygofer lobe broad, with five macroseta at cephalo-ventral angle of lobe and one macroseta at junction area with anal tube (Fig.
Measurement: Male length (including wing) 2.9 mm.
The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “ventricosus”, referring to the connective central lobe well developed.
This species is similar to A. confluensa Tan, Jiang & Song, 2021 with similar shape of style and aedeagus, but can be distinguished by the five macrosetae at cephalo-ventral angle of lobe and one macroseta at junction area with anal tube; the aedeagus with pair of long processes arising from base of shaft and the connective central lobe well developed.
Body brownish-yellow (Fig.
Male genitalia
Subgenital plate slightly concave near middle area, with three macrosetae on outer surface (Fig.
Measurement: Male length (including wing) 2.7 mm.
The new species is named from the Latin word “unianxialis”, referring to the aedeagal shaft without serrated marginal lamellae apically.
This species is similar to A. crispata Tan, Jiang & Song, 2021, but can be distinguished by the aedeagal shaft without serrated marginal lamellae; without pair of small processes curved mesally under the gonopore and the connective with distinct central lobe.
