Tautoneura aureomarginalis Tan & Song, sp. nov. Description: Body light yellow (Figs 1, 2). Vertex, pronotum and scutellum with milky yellow markings or spots (Figs 1, 3). Head yellowish, distinctly narrower than pronotum (Figs 3, 4). Eyes black (Figs 1, 2). Face milky white (Figs 2, 4). Pronotum light yellow (Fig. 3). Scutellum apex with black spot, basal triangles brownish yellow (Figs 1, 3). Forewing with basal and commissural margin in basal half orange, few orange patches present on corium (Figs 1, 2). Abdominal apodemes short, not extended to posterior margin of 3 rd sternite (Fig. 9). Male genitalia. Pygofer lobe with few long setae and some microsetae at baso-lateral angle, numerous fine setae scattered on lateral surface (Fig. 10). Pygofer dorsal appendage broadened at base, tapering towards apex (Fig. 11). Anal tube appendage absent. Subgenital plate with 4 macrosetae near mid-length on lateral surface and some microsetae at sub-basal part, marginal subbasal microsetae forming continuous row near apex (Fig. 12). Style slender, expanded slightly at subapex, preapical lobe prominent, apex tapered, without anteromedial angle (Fig. 13). Aedeagal shaft depressed, curved dorsad and long, broad in posterior view with two pairs of processes apically and subapically, subapical pair extended dorsolaterad and crossing apical pair; gonopore on ventral surface preapically (Figs 14, 15). Aedeagus dorsal apodeme obvious, about half length of aedeagal shaft; preatrium developed but short (Figs 14, 15). Connective stem absent, median lobe very short (Fig. 16). Measurement. Male length 2.9–3.0 mm (including wing). Specimens Examined. Holotype ♂: China, Guizhou Prov., Huajiang Town, 30 May 2021, coll. Jia Jiang. Paratypes: one ♂, same data as holotype. Remarks. This species is similar to T. formosa Dworakowska (1970), but can be distinguished by the depressed aedeagus (broader in posterior view than in lateral view) with very short preatrium (Figs 14, 15) and forewing with commissural margin orange (Figs1, 2). Etymology. The specific name combines the Latin words “ aureo ” and “ marginalis ”, which refers to the orangebordered forewing., Published as part of Tan, Wei-Wen, Pu, Tian-Yi & Song, Yue-Hua, 2022, Two new species of the genus Tautoneura Anufriev from Karst area in Southwest China (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae), pp. 278-284 in Zootaxa 5195 (3) on page 280, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5195.3.6, http://zenodo.org/record/7187885, {"references":["Dworakowska, I.
