Variability.
The species is known only from the female
holotype
.
Diagnosis.
Agrilus cicadelloides
sp. nov.
is similar to
A. scutellaris
Deyrolle, 1864
by the small eyes, by the trapezoid pronotum, by the sculpture of the pronotal disc, by the absence of a prehumerus, and by the robust scutellum. The new species can be distinguished by having a cluster of reddish setae on head, by an obvious pronotal lobe, and by conjointly arcuate elytral apices.

Etymology.
The specific name

is derived from the family name
Cicadellidae (Hemiptera)
, and the suffix-
oides
, denoting form or resemblance to stress similarity with a leafhopper.
