Coloration and structure (

S. bilineus
.
Male genitalia
. Pygofer very long, about 3 times width, gradually narrowed to round caudal margin, with two subapical tuft of long macrosetae in addition to scattered macrosetae on apical half. Subgenital plate very long and broad basally, lateral margin slightly incurved at basal 1/3, with several macrosetae near base. Styles short, broad basally, preapical lobe developed, apical process long and curved laterally. Connective Y-shaped, arms as long as stem, connective processes robust at base, tapered to apex, slightly curved dorsally.

Remarks.
This species was described based on two male specimens collected from
Yunnan Province
.
Viraktamath
and
Mohan
(2004)
described
Scaphoideus spiculatus
from
India
, which is treated here as a junior synonym of
S. yingjiangensis
Wang & Li
based on examination of the
paratype
male and additional material. Although the aedeagus of the
holotype
and
paratype
of
S. spiculatus
differ in the shape, there are a few specimens sharing variation in the form of the dorsal apodeme and curvature of the shaft collected from
China
and hence the synonymy.
