A revision of the deltocephaline leafhopper genus Scaphoideus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from the Indian subcontinent Author Viraktamath, C. A. Author Mohan, G. S. text Zootaxa 2004 578 1 48 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.169102 396d3884-e803-46f0-912e-ff19a5114651 1175­5326 169102 CDC86032-E788-4139-98E8-3733438378E0 Scaphoideus zhangi sp. nov. Figs 218–227 . Coloration like that of S. coloratus and similar to that found in S. hirsutus . Head slightly wider than pronotum, as long as inter­ocular width. Front wing venation as in Fig. 226 . FIGURES 218–227. Scaphoideus zhangi sp. nov. 218. Male genital capsule, lateral view; 219. Dorsal pygophore process; 220. Subgenital plate and style; 221. Style; 222. Apophysis of style; 223. Connective and paraphyses, ventral view; 224. Connective, paraphysis and aedeagus, lateral view; 225. Aedeagus, caudal view; 226. Front wing; 227. Female ovipositor. Scale line indicates 0.1 mm. Male genitalia : Pygophore rather rectangular, with a small anterior apodeme, caudal margin truncate, produced into spinelike process ventrally, dorsal margin with a long spine like pigmented process at the point of articulation with tenth segment, a few stout, long setae in caudal 0.33 and marginal shorter setae. Subgenital plate triangular, with a lateral submarginal row of long setae and marginal hairlike setae, especially those at caudal end long. Style, pigmented, with a slender long, apophysis with transverse rugae, preapical lobe well­developed. Connective Y­shaped, pigmented, stem longer than arm. Paraphyses convergent, in ventral view, twisted at apical 0.25, articulated proximally with both aedeagus and connective. Aedeagus tubular, dorsal apodeme well­developed, shaft slightly narrowed distally and apex curved anteriorly, gonopore apical. Female genitalia : Hind margin of seventh sternum broadly produced medially with a median notch. Measurements : Male 4.5–4.6 mm long, 1.1–1.2 mm wide across eyes. Female 4.9 mm long, 1.3 mm wide across eyes. Material examined : INDIA : holotype ɗ, Meghalaya: Lunglei, 21.xi.1981 , C.S. Wesley ( UAS ). Paratype : INDIA : 1 ɗ, Meghalaya, 762 m , 4.xi.1981 , S. Viraktamath; 1Ψ, data as in ɗ but collected by C.A. Viraktamath; 1Ψ, West Bengal: Teesta, 214 m , 28.x.1981 , C.A. Viraktamath ( BMNH , UAS ). Remarks : Externally S. zhangi resembles S. sabourensis but differs from it in having a longer dorsal spine on the pygophore at the point of articulation with the tenth segment, caudal margin truncate and produced ventrally into a spinelike process, and paraphyses strongly twisted. The new species is named after Dr Zang Yalin, North­western Agricultural University, Yangling, Shaanxi, China , in recognition of his good work on Chinese leafhoppers.
