Abstract

The sharpshooter genus Atkinsoniella Distant, 1908 includes 99 valid species worldwide. Here, three new species from China are described and illustrated: Atkinsoniella stenopyga, A. wangi, and A. yingjiangensis spp. nov. An updated checklist of the known Atkinsoniella species worldwide based on the data of previous literature and studied materials is also provided. All the type specimens of three new species are deposited at the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China.

Introduction

The genus Atkinsoniella is a relatively large genus of the subfamily Cicadellinae. It was established by Distant (1908) with two new species: A. decisa (type species) and A. maculata. Young (1986) systematically revised Atkinsoniella, proposed 15 new combinations and 13 synonyms, described 10 new species, and confirmed 26 valid species of this genus. Thereafter, new species were described successively.

Feng and Zhang (2015) provided a checklist of 75 known species worldwide and described two new species. Yang et al. (2017) conducted a systematic morphological study of 88 Atkinsoniella species from China, including 33 new species, two Chinese new records, 12 new synonyms, and proposed Curvufacies Kuoh, 1993 as a new synonym of Atkinsoniella. Subsequently, 2 new species from China and Pakistan were described (Naveed and Zhang 2018; Jiang et al. 2022).

To date, 99 valid species were described worldwide, of which 89 species occurred in China, and a few were scattered in Bay of Bengal, Bhutan, India, Indonesia, Kingdom of Bhutan, Laos, Malay Islands, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam (Feng and Zhang 2015; Yang et al. 2017; Naveed and Zhang 2018; Jiang et al. 2022). In this study, the description, male genitalia and habitus photos of three new species, A. stenopyga, A. wangi, and A. yingjiangensis spp. nov. from Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (Tibet Autonomous Region) and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau (Yunnan Province) of China are provided. The checklist of all known Atkinsoniella species worldwide and the three new species is updated.

Material and methods

Morphology

The specimens were collected by sweeping (27–35 sweeps per collecting event) on shrubs and weeds using 2.5 m insect sweep nets on day-light and off-set sun by using a 500W high-pressure mercury lamps; all materials were preserved in absolute ethanol and stored at -20 °C in the laboratory. The abdomens of specimens were detached and soaked in 10% NaOH solution, boiled for 1–3 min, rinsed with water to remove traces of NaOH, and transferred to glycerol for further dissection, photography and preservation. The habitus and male genitalia were photographed using a KEYENCE VHX-6000 digital camera and a Nikon Eclipse Ni-E microscope, respectively. Adobe Photoshop 2020 was used to edit compiled photos. The length of the body was measured from the vertex to the rear of the forewings using a KEYENCE VHX-6000 digital camera. The morphological terminology is adapted from Young (1968, 1986) and Yang et al. (2017). The holotype and paratypes were deposited at the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China (GUGC).
