Etymology:
A combination of the Greek κύκλος, meaning circle, and φύλλον, meaning leaf or sheet, referring to the vertical lobe of the apically rounded gonopod.
Diagnosis:
This species is similar to
A. flavipes
in the male terminalia, but can be distinguished from it by the vertical lobe of the gonopod being oblong, lacking any process, strongly sclerotized (
Fig. 4C
). In
A. flavipes
, the vertical lobe of the gonopod is nearly rounded, pointed apicolaterally, with one small process apicomedially (as shown by
Xu
et al.
, 2007
: fig. 3).

Amiota cyclophylla
, male terminalia. A, epandrium and cercus. B, surstylus and tenth sternite. C, hypandrium and gonopods. D, parameres, aedeagus and aedeagal apodeme. Scale bars: 0.1 mm.
near posterior margin and five setae in ventral lobe per side. Surstylus not pubescent, with six long prensisetae on distal margin, several thin setae on ventral margin and outer surface. The tenth sternite is nearly bilobed, but not separated mid-dorsally; laterally, narrowly fused to surstyli. Anterior portion of hypandrium entirely thin. Paramere lobe shaped, pointed apically, with two processes laterally and approximately eight sensilla medially. Aedeagus is separated into a pair of simple rods, each fused to the base of the parameres. Aedeagal apodeme strongly curved.
