The specific epithet is named after the locality of the holotype, Gansu Province. Remarks. This species keyed to T. zhengi (Zhang, 1994: 18) in Zhang's (1994) key but differs in shape of the paraphysis. It is also similar to T. perserrula (Zhang, 1994: 48) in external appearance and general shape of the ventral paraphysis but can be distinguished by shape of the style apex and lateral margin of the ventral paraphysis with blunt projection, not serrated., Published as part of Wang, Xiu-Dan & Zhang, Ya-Lin, 2017, Five new species of the leafhopper genus Thagria Melichar (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Coelidiinae) from China, pp. 219-228 in Zootaxa 4250 (3) on pages 219-220, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4250.3.2, http://zenodo.org/record/495019, {"references":["Zhang, Y.

6. Eupteryx (Stacla) gracilirama sp. nov. (Figs 33���42) Description. Body dull yellow. Vertex and pronotum mostly dark brown with symmetrical yellow spots. Vertex with three yellow spots anteriorly and one posteriorly; coronal suture slightly yellow. Pronotum with 5 faint parallel longitudinal yellow stripes medially and bilaterally. Scutellum yellow medially. Forewing with two round yellow patches in basal half and several round colourless patches in apical half. Hindwing slightly infuscated with longitudinal veins brown (Figs 33���35). Dorsum of abdomen brown, venter yellow excepting last 2 segments light brown. Abdominal apodemes extending to middle of 5 th segment. Hind margin of pygofer side rounded and slightly produced with several small rigid setae apically, and base of ventral margin with a row of rigid setae (Figs 36���37). Subgenital plate with long macroseta basally, and with row of microsetae at outside margin apically (Fig. 38). Outer margin of paramere bent at acute angle subapically (Fig. 39). Connective Y-shaped, with lateral arms slender. Aedeagus shaft with pair of long, slender S-shaped ventral processes and Y-shaped median dorsal process apically, ventral processes extending to base of shaft with outer margins bearing few irregularly placed spines; dorsoatrium slender (Figs 40���42). Measurement. Male 3.06 mm and female 3.07 mm (including wing). Type material. Holotype, ♂, Yunnan Prov., Dali, altitude 2000m, Labiatae, 11. XI. 1999, coll. Dworakowska; Paratype, 2 ♀♀, same data as holotype; 3 ♀♀, Tengchong, altitude 2000m, Artemisia, 26. XI. 1999, coll. Dworakowska. Notes. The new species closely resembles Eupteryx pentavittatus Hu & Kuoh in the external appearance, but its patch on vein ScP+RA is smaller than the patch in the 4 th apical cell which is opposite to the condition in Eupteryx pentavittatus. Moreover, the male genitalias are distinctive: the paired processes at the apex of aedeagus in the new species are lacking in Eupteryx pentavittatus. Etymology. The specific name is derived from a combination of the Latin prefix ���gracil-��� (slender) and the Latin word ���rama��� (twig), which refers to the aedeagal processes., Published as part of Hou, Xiao-Jiao, Zhang, Ya-Lin & Huang, Min, 2016, A taxonomic study of the genus Eupteryx Curtis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae), with description of five new records and one new species from China, pp. 591-599 in Zootaxa 4117 (4) on page 597, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4117.4.10, http://zenodo.org/record/263717

The new species is similar to T. trifasciata Huang in the aedeagal structure, but the former has five ivory patches on the vertex, pronotum and adjoining area between pronotum and scutellum, and the subgential plate has the inner lobe distinctly longer than the outer lobe which has four peg-like setae on the outer margin of the cucullate base and four peg-like setae on the hooked and pointed apex. In contrast, T. trifasciata has two conjoined longitudinal orange patches on the middle part of the vertex and pronotum, and the subgential plate has the inner lobe slightly shorter than the outer lobe which has seven peg-like setae longitudinally arranged on the outer margin of the cucullate base and lacks peg-like setae on the curved and lamellate apex.

Anal appendage swollen at base, narrowing to apex, with numerous papillae apically (Fig. 71). Subgenital plate in lateral view, curved gradually caudodorsad apically, expanded apically; with numerous macrosetae and fine setae distributed somewhat irregularly; group A with 4 long stout setae subbasally, group B with 19 short microsetae on apical half, group C double near base, with single row of macrosetae distally, group D irregular with numerous elongate setae (Fig. 74).

Aedeagal shaft well sclerotized, aedeagus relatively thin, expanding gradually to atrium, shaft thin and subparallel-sided (Figs 10���11). Etymology.

Asymmetrasca Dlabola, reinstated genus Asymmetrasca Dlabola 1958: 51. Type species: Empoasca decedens Paoli. Empoasca Walsh, in part; Dworakowska, 1968: 566; Nast 1972: 264. Synonymised by Dworakowska, 1968. Diagnosis. Small, green Empoascini resembling Empoasca in external morphology but differing as follows: male subgenital plate narrow at base, lacking angulate dorsolateral projection, setal group A arising far from base of plate; anal hook usually with small apical denticuli; aedeagus with well developed dorsal apodeme, shaft as long as or longer than preatrium with single long asymmetrical process arising at apex and extended basolaterad. Notes. Asymmetrasca was listed as a junior synonym of Empoasca by Nast (1972) and this interpretation has was followed by the principal taxonomic worker on Palearctic Typhlocybinae (Dworakowska 1982), although other recent authors, mostly in the economic entomology literature (e.g., Jacas et al. 1997), have continued to recognize Asymmetrasca as a valid genus. As noted above, species of the genus differ substantially from the type species of Empoasca in the structure of the male subgenital plate and aedeagus. Therefore, we recognize Asymmetrasca as a valid genus, distinct from Empoasca, sensu stricto. Asymmetrasca appears to be restricted to the Palearctic and Oriental regions and includes 10 previously described species and 6 new species described below. The described species are very similar morphologically, differing mainly in the relative shape, proportions and ornamentation of the aedeagal shaft, preatrium and apical process., Published as part of Liu, Yang, Fletcher, Murray J., Dietrich, Christopher H. & Zhang, Ya-Lin, 2014, New species and records of Asymmetrasca (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae: Empoascini) from China and name changes in Empoasca (Matsumurasca), pp. 327-350 in Zootaxa 3768 (3) on page 328, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3768.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/227248, {"references":["Dlabola, J.
