The identity of the oriental leafhopper genera Cyrta Melichar and Placidus Distant (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Stegelytrinae), with description of a new genus Author Wei, Cong Author Zhang, Yalin text Zootaxa 2008 1793 1 27 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.182576 438540c0-da6e-42c6-9c0d-acd4d7ccd907 1175-5326 182576 Cyrta coalita sp. n. ( Fig. 9 ) Description. Body length: ɗ 8.0mm. Body colour generally brown to dark brown; anteclypeus and lora dark with pair of stout setae apically on anteclypeus ( Fig. 9 B). Scutellum with very short tufts of black hairlike setae on lateral margin ( Fig. 9 A). Male pygofer with short to long macrosetae and very dense short setae; with a long dorsally curved inner process and process with two denticles on dorsal margin at about one third part ( Fig. 9 G). Subgenital plate not extending beyond to apex of pygofer side; fused with valve basally ( Fig. 9 F). Aedeagal shaft broad basally and tapered to apex in both lateral and ventral view, apex acute in lateral view and narrowly rounded in ventral view ( Figs 9 C, E). Type material. Holotype : ɗ ( ZSU ), CHINA : Yunnan Prov., Western Hills, near Kunming, 6-VII- (19)40, J. L. Gressit. Etymology. The specific name is derived from its subgenital plates fused to valve basally. Remarks. This species is similar to C. striolata , C. flosifronta , C. incurvata and C. fujianensis in having an inner pygofer process. It can be distinguished from these by: 1) subgenital plate acute apically and fused to valve basally; 2) inner process of pygofer with two denticles on dorsal margin at about one third part; 3) aedeagal shaft broad basally and tapered to apex in both lateral and ventral view, apex acute in lateral view and narrowly rounded in ventral view.
