Introduction

The leafhopper genus Arboridia Zachvatkin, 1946 belongs to the tribe Erythroneurini of the subfamily Typhlocybinae (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae) and includes two subgenera, Arboridia Zachvatkin, 1946 and Arborifera Sohi & Sandhu, 1971. Species feed on a variety of plants including fruit trees, hawthorn, maple, honeysuckle, dogwood and several other plants (Song and Li 2013). So far, 84 species have been described in this large genus, distributed throughout the Palaearctic and Oriental regions, including 25 valid species from China (Song et al. 2016; Cao et al. 2019).

In this study, three new species are described from Guizhou, China. Photographs of the whole body, illustrations of male genitalia, and biological information such as host plants and distributional records are provided. In addition, an updated key to the Arboridia species from China is provided.

Materials and methods

Specimens used in this study were collected from grape, kiwi and walnut trees in Guizhou, China using a sweep net. A Nikon SMZ 1270 microscope was used to dissect the specimens and an Olympus CX41 microscope for observing and drawing the male genitalia. A KEYENCE VHX-6000 digital microscope was used to take pictures of the male habitus. Morphological terminology used in this work follows Dietrich (2005) and Dworakowska (1993). All specimens examined in this study are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, China (GUGC).

Etymology

The new species is named from the Latin word “furcatus”, referring to the forked aedeagal process.

Remarks

The new species is similar to Arboridia (A.) anteoculara Song & Li, 2013, but differs in only having a pair of processes on the ventrobasal surface of aedeagal shaft (Figs 17, 24); the latter species having two pairs of processes and arising from both sides of the aedeagal shaft.

Measurement

Body length males 2.7–2.9 mm, females 2.9–3.0 mm.

Specimen examined

Holotype ♂: China, Guizhou Prov., Jianhe, 26.V.2017, coll. Chang Han and Yaowen Zhang, on kiwi (GUGC). Paratypes: 23♂♂, 25♀♀, same data as holotype on kiwi; 3♂♂, 6♀♀, China, Guizhou Prov., Wujiang, 19.V.2017, coll. Chang Han and Bin Yan, on walnut (GUGC).

Etymology

The new species name is derived from the Latin words “ruber” (red) and “vittatus” (banded), referring to the reddish-orange oblique stripes on the forewings.

Remarks

The new species can be distinguished from most Arboridia species by its vertex and pronotum without dark spots (Figs 5, 7, 8) and reddish-orange stripes on the forewing. Its male genitalia is similar to A. (A.) lunula Song & Li, 2013, but can be distinguished by the sword-like apex of the style and aedeagus with three basal ventral processes, the upper paired processes slender (Figs 34, 39).

Host

Aedeagal shaft strongly laterally compressed and “C” shaped with apex upturned in lateral view, with two basal processes fused for 2/3 of their length at midlength of ventral margin; preatrium long, with a thorn-like basal projection (Figs 50–51, 55–56). Connective V-shaped with stem reduced (Figs 52, 59).

Specimen examined

Holotype : ♂, China, Guizhou Prov., Wujiang, 19.V.2017, coll. Chang Han and Bin Yan, on walnut (GUGC). Paratypes: 5♂♂, 7♀♀, same data as holotype on walnut; 50♂♂61♀♀, China, Guizhou Prov., Xiuwen, 19.VII.2017, coll. Chang Han and Bin Yan, on kiwi (GUGC)

Etymology

The new species name is derived from the Latin words “robustus” and “penis”, and refers to the robust aedeagal shaft in lateral view.

Remarks

The new species can be distinguished from A. (A.) luojiashangensis Zhang & Song, 2022 by the aedeagus with strongly laterally compressed shaft “C” shaped; the paired basal processes fused for 2/3 of their length like a forked tongue (Figs 50–51, 55–56); and the preatrium with a thorn-like basal projection.
