Review of the leafhopper genus Anaceratagallia Zachvatkin, 1946 (Homoptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae: Megophthalminae: Agalliini) from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Central Asia Author Tishechkin, Dmitri Yu. text Zootaxa 2020 2020-07-31 4821 2 250 276 journal article 8976 10.11646/zootaxa.4821.2.2 4d5564e3-80c1-41e0-8219-d7a462e05bc2 1175-5326 4398488 BC1CFF1D-5DB5-4E19-B4D0-0C106C169440 4. Anaceratagallia ( Anaceratagallia ) karakolensis Dubovsky, 1984 Figs. 94–103 Description. Only one series of specimens from southwestern Turkmenistan (environs of Kara-Kala = Garrygala) was investigated. Penis in side view comparatively narrow, ventral crest developed only in basal part, slightly serrated ( Figs. 94–98 ). Male anal collar appendage blade-shaped, covered with minute spicules as in all other species of A. ( A. ) venosa group ( Figs. 99–101 ). On the drawing in the original description ( Dubovsky, 1984 ; reproduced as Figs. 102–103 ) the ventral crest of the penis is somewhat more developed than in males from Turkmenistan , however these differences are not considered significant at the species level. Biology. Type series was collected from sainfoin ( Onobrychis , Fabaceae ); apparently a commercial sainfoin planting. Calling signal. Unknown. Distribution. So far, this species is known only from the type locality in Northern Kyrgyzstan and from southwestern Turkmenistan . Remarks. It was described based on one male and three females from the environs of Karakol Town, Eastern shore of the Issyk-Kul’ Lake, Kyrgyzstan . Identification of A. ( A. ) karakolensis is somewhat doubtful, still, we prefer to use this name instead of describing the form from Turkmenistan as a new species. According to the original description, Anaceratagallia perarmata Dlabola, 1958 from the Balkans is similar to A. ( A. ) karakolensis in penis shape ( Fig. 104 ) but differs from it by the bifurcate anal collar appendage ( Fig. 105 ). It is possible that these two taxa are conspecific, but investigation of material from the Balkans is necessary to confirm this synonymy.
