Taxonomic study of Chinese species of the genus Macropsis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Macropsinae): new species, new records, synonymy and replacement name Author Li, Hu Author Dai, Ren-Huai Author Li, Zi-Zhong Author Yu, Dmitri text Zootaxa 2012 3420 41 62 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.212165 6c6f2e30-e8c5-4b10-bd71-893798cd66e0 1175-5326 212165 Macropsis robusta Li, Dai et Li , sp. nov. Figs. 31–33, 116–122 Material examined. Holotype : 3, China , Yunnan province, Gailigongshan mountains, Baihualing, Yudonghe, 7. V. 2010 , collected by Li Hu; Paratypes : 1 3, same data; 1 3, China , Yunnan province, Lanping, 8. VIII. 2006 , collected by Song Qiongzhang. Description. Body more stout than in most representatives of genus. Head, face and pronotum brown, other parts of a body more light, greenish brown (Figs. 31–33). Coloration of face gradually becomes more light from frons to clypellus. Eyes red brown. Pronotum with two large diffuse black spots in hind half. Fore coxae with one black spot each. Scutellum brown. Forewings hyaline, greenish, veins greenish brown. Legs greenish yellow. 2nd sternal apodemes in male small, triangular, with lobes slightly bent inwards (Fig. 117). Pygofer broad, of nearly square shape, pygofer processes long, slender, slightly sinuated, somewhat bent backwards, exceeding dorsal margin of pygofer (Fig. 116). Subgenital plates slender, with short marginal setae (Fig. 116). Aedeagus wide, in side view tapering towards end in distal half. In ventral aspect aedeagal shaft also rather wide, tip widely rounded, gonopore oval, subapical, situated in middle of distal half of a shaft (Figs. 118–119). Styles slender, gradually tapering towards ends, tips upturned (Fig. 120). Connective relatively slender, with a long finger-like protrusion in middle, both lateral arms twisted to dorsum (Figs. 121–122). Female unknown. Body length (including tegmina): 3, 4.0–4.2 mm. Host. Unknown. Distribution. China (Yunnan prov.). Diagnosis. The new species is similar to M . orientalis ( Distant, 1916 ) , but can be distinguished from the latter one by more stout body, greenish forewings, more stout aedeagus with subapical gonopore, pygofer processes bent backwards and another shape of styles. Etymology. The new species name is derived from the Latin word “ robustus ”, indicating that the body is more stout than in other representatives of the genus. FIGURES. 116–122.
