C96E87A3FFD2B957FDE4EECCFBB80AE2.taxon	description	Description Small-sized aphrophorine species, body length (from apex of vertex to tip of forewings): male 4.5 – 6.9 mm, female, 4.8 – 9.0 mm. General colour brown to dark brown (reddish brown in gibbosus sp. nov.). Vertex, pronotum and clavus of forewings usually much paler, giving pale stramineous appearance; dorsum covered with fuscous punctures. Frons, thorax beneath and coxae and femora of legs sometimes suffused with dark brown or fuscous. Forewings dark brown to blackish, usually marked with whitish fasciae and spots, the extreme basal costal area, an oblique fascia running from middle costa to apex of scutellum, the subapical costal and subcostal area and an oblique fascia running from the basal inner edge of the marking on the subapical costal and subcostal area to the claval apex, the apex of clavus and the area beyond apex of clavus, and the subapical corial area usually whitish; the fascia sometimes greatly reduced and whitish-spotted (Figure 1). Body with dorsum distinctly punctate. Head (Figures 1 (A – L), 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, 5 A) relatively short and broad, shorter than pronotum, distinctly wider between eyes than long in middle, slightly narrower than pronotum at shoulders. Vertex (Figures 1 A, C, E, G, I, K, 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, 5 A) somewhat triangular in shape, sloping anteriorly, flat to undulate dorsally, usually with a median longitudinal carina (nearly obsolete in A. pseudotiegsi sp. nov.) and a small callous fovea on posterior marginal area between ocellus and eye, anterior margin clearly defined and carinate. Eyes distinctly longer than wide in dorsal view. Tylus (Figures 1 (A – L), 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, 5 A) short and transversely long, about three times as broad as median length, with posterior margin arched anteriorly in middle. Ocelli very close to each other. Frons (Figures 1 B, D, F, H, J, L, 2 B, 3 B, 4 B, 5 B) strongly compressed and depressed laterally, narrow and keel-like medially or moderately bulbous in males, and usually swollen, not strongly compressed laterally in females. Antennae with flagellar base expanded and visible, bearing an apical, broadly conical process being next and parallel to the flagellar bristle and nine small coeloconic sensilla on ventral side (see Liang et al., 2005). Rostrum relatively long, nearly reaching hind coxae. Pronotum (Figures 1 A, C, E, G, I, K, 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, 5 A) usually with a median longitudinal carina (nearly obsolete in A. pseudotiegsi sp. nov.), anterior margin evenly convexly rounded or slightly angulate in middle, anterior half distinctly callous centrally, posterior half transversely rugose; anterior lateral margin relatively long, shorter than longitudinal axis of eyes. Scutellum nearly triangular, centrally slightly depressed and transversely rugose. Forewings (Figure 1 A – L) narrow, with very sparse pubescence, costal margin evenly convex from base to apex, venation reticulate apically. Hindwings translucent, veins brown. Hind tibia with one strong spur on lateral edge at distal two-fifths and 13 – 16 black-tipped spines apically, metatarsomeres I and II with 5 – 8 and 6 – 11 black-tipped spines apically, respectively. Male genitalia with pygofer (Figures 2 C, 3 C, 4 C, 5 C) in lateral view relatively short, distinctly high (compared with typical Aphrophora species) and nearly subquadrate, slightly wider ventrally than dorsally. Anal segments (Figures 2 C, E, 3 C, E, 4 C, E, 5 C, E) relatively short and small, basal anal segment with a pair of posteriorly directed, spinous processes on ventral margin, the inner edge of those spinous processes usually covered with fine spines. Subgenital plates (Figures 2 C, D, 3 C, D, 4 C, D, 5 C, D) reduced, short and small (compared with typical Aphrophora species), completely fused to pygofer, apically slightly bilobed or sometimes parabolalike in ventral view, right and left plates separated each other, forming a V-shaped empty space and making the base of aedeagus visible in ventral view. Genital styles (Figures (2 – 5) C, (2 – 5) D, (2 – 5) F, (2 – 5) G) relatively elongate and slender, sinuate in lateral view; mesially expanded outwards, narrowed to apex over distal half, apex bidentate; arched inward over distal half with extreme apex nearly touching each other in ventral view. Aedeagal shaft (Figures 2 C, G, 3 C, G, 4 C, G, 5 C, G) short, tubular, anteriorly arched in lateral view, anterior edge of the shaft covered with very fine spines, gonopore apical.	en	Liang, Ai-Ping, Wang, Rong-Rong (2012): A revision of the endemic Australian spittlebug genus Anyllis Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) with descriptions of two new species.

C96E87A3FFD2B957FDE4EECCFBB80AE2.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology Biological data for the species Anyllis is scarce. Anyllis leiala is one of the most common and widespread aphrophorids found in Australia. It is commonly attracted to mercury-vapour lights and is frequently swept from a wide range of native, shrubby, dicotyledonous plants (Fletcher 2010; Liang and Fletcher 2003; Liang et al. 2005). Morrow (1977) reported that A. leiala is associated with Eucalyptus pauciflora, Eucalyptus perriniana and Eucalyptus stellulata and Ohmart et al. (1983) recorded the association of A. leiala with Eucalyptus delegatensis.	en	Liang, Ai-Ping, Wang, Rong-Rong (2012): A revision of the endemic Australian spittlebug genus Anyllis Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) with descriptions of two new species.

C96E87A3FFD2B957FDE4EECCFBB80AE2.taxon	discussion	Remarks Anyllis is the only genus of the tribe Aphrophorini distributed in the Australian region. Members of Aphrophorini are widely distributed in the Palaearctic, Nearctic and Oriental regions with generic diversification primarily in the Oriental region. Anyllis differs from other members of Aphrophorini in the following characters: frons in the males usually thin and strongly compressed laterally; antennae with expanded flagellar base having an apical, broadly conical process (a special bulbous sensillum) being adjacent and parallel to the flagellar bristle and nine small coeloconic sensilla on ventral side, lacking placoid sensilla subapically (Aphrophorini usually have three large placoid sensilla on apical area of the expanded flagellar base, Liang, unpublished data; see also Liang and Fletcher 2002); hind tibiae with one lateral spur on outer edge (Aphrophorini usually have two lateral spurs on hind tibiae with exception of Sinophora with four to six lateral spurs); basal anal segment in males with a pair of basal anal processes; subgenital plates short and separated from each other; genital styles slender and elongate; aedeagal shaft relatively elongate and slender, covered with fine spines on anterior edge in lateral view. These characters are autapomorphies of Anyllis and strongly support the monophyly of the genus. These may reflect the long independent evolution of Anyllis because of its long isolation from other Aphrophorini, which are predominantly distributed in the Holarctic region (Liang et al. 2005). Anyllis can be easily distinguished from other Australian aphrophorid genera by its punctate dorsum, strongly compressed and depressed frons in males, one lateral spur on hind tibiae and the presence of a pair of basal anal processes on the basal anal segment in males.	en	Liang, Ai-Ping, Wang, Rong-Rong (2012): A revision of the endemic Australian spittlebug genus Anyllis Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) with descriptions of two new species.

C96E87A3FFD2B957FDE4EECCFBB80AE2.taxon	distribution	Distribution Species of Anyllis are currently known from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania in Australia. No specimens of Anyllis species were collected from Western Australia and Northern Territory, although this is probably an artefact of collection. It appears that the genus is endemic to Australia.	en	Liang, Ai-Ping, Wang, Rong-Rong (2012): A revision of the endemic Australian spittlebug genus Anyllis Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) with descriptions of two new species.

Material examined Holotype. Male, [Australia, Queensland] 6.4 km west of Paluma, Qld, 900 m, 25 April 1969 (I. F. B. Common & M. S. Upton) (ANIC). Paratypes. [Australia, Queensland] six males, three females, same data as holotype (ANIC); two males, Mt Edith, 29 km northeast of Atherton, Q., 1020 m above sea level, 18 March 1964 (I. F. B. Common and M. S. Upton) (ANIC). Etymology This new species is named for the presence of a gibba-like process on the anterior edge of the aedeagal shaft subapically in lateral view (Figures 2 E – G). Distribution Australia (Queensland). Remarks This is the largest species currently known in the genus. It can be easily distinguished from other known species in the genus by its largest size, more elongate and slen- der body (Figure 1 A – D) and the male genital structure, especially the aedeagal shaft with a gibba-like process on anterior edge subapically in lateral view (Figure 2 C, G). Externally this species is similar to A. leiala Kirkaldy, but differs from the latter in its vertex, pronotum and mesonotum covered with fuscous punctures, pronotum with the median longitudinal carina black, and the scutellum with median line suffused with yellowish white, in addition to the differences in the body size and the male genital characters mentioned above.	en	Liang, Ai-Ping, Wang, Rong-Rong (2012): A revision of the endemic Australian spittlebug genus Anyllis Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) with descriptions of two new species.

C96E87A3FFC1B943FE32ECE5FC9F0923.taxon	description	Description Length (from apex of vertex to tip of forewings): male (n = 2), 5.0 – 5.1 mm; female (n = 1), 6.0 mm. General colour pattern and external appearance similar to A. pseudotiegsi sp. nov. General colour stramineous brown, scutellum with brown suffusion medially; frons stramineous with base dark brown; antennal sockets, scape and pedicel black or dark brown; clypeus stramineous; rostrum with apical segment pale yellowish; thorax beneath dark brown with pleurae partly yellowish; legs and claws dark brown, hind coxae and trochanters pale yellowish, hind tibiae and tarsi pale brown, tips of spines on hind tibiae and tarsi black; forewings (Figure 1 K, L) brown, apical marginal area nearly black, clavus with basal two-thirds stramineous, corium with the following areas or fasciae whitish: the extreme basal costal area, an oblique fascia running from middle costal margin to clavus beyond apex of scutellum, a subtriangular marking on the subapical costal and subcostal area (the veins within the marking brown) and an oblique fascia running from the inner basal edge of this whitish subapical costal and subcostal marking to the claval apex; the apex of clavus and two irregular spots on subapical corium whitish. Abdomen black with segmental margins white. Female with black punctures much reduced ventrally, legs with femora and pleura ochreous. External structure as in the generic description. Head (Figures 1 K, 5 A) maximum width (including eyes) 2.9 – 3.5 times as long as median length. Vertex (Figures 1 K, 5 A) with a median carina, median length 0.6 – 0.7 times as long as length of pronotum medially. Frons (Figures 1 L, 5 B) in males moderately bulbous, not strongly compressed laterally, median longitudinal carina indistinct. Pronotum (Figures 1 K, 5 A) with median longitudinal carina obsolete on posterior half, median length 0.5 – 0.6 times as long as maximum width. Male genitalia with pygofer (Figure 5 C) high, wider ventrally than dorsally, anterior margin concave medially and posterior margin nearly straight in lateral view. Basal anal processes (Figure 5 C, E) relatively short, the inner edges covered with fine spines on apical two-thirds. Subgenital plates (Figure 5 C, D) relatively short and broad, apically distinctly bilobed, both plates widely separated each other. Genital styles (Figure 5 C, D, F, G) relatively stout, moderately broad mesially, evenly narrowed towards apex over apical one-third in lateral view, apically bidentate. Aedeagal shaft (Figure 5 C, G) relatively stout and broad, slightly arched anteriorly, anterior edge covered with many fine spines in lateral view; gonopore dorsal. Material examined Holotype Male, [Australia:] Victoria, Melbourne, O. W. Tiegs (BMNH). Holotype ♂, [Australia:] Victoria, Melbourne, O. W. Tiegs (BMNH). Other material examined Australia, New South Wales: one male, New England National Park, NSW, 11 February 1968 (D. H. Colless) (ANIC). Australia, Victoria: one female, 15 km west Ballarat, Vic., 12 November 1969 (E. F. Riek) (ANIC). Distribution Australia (Victoria and the higher parts of southeast New South Wales). Remarks This species is similar to A. pseudotiegsi sp. nov. from Tasmania but can be distinguished from the latter by the slightly larger body (length male 5.0 – 5.1 mm, female 6.0 mm); vertex with a median longitudinal carina (Figures 1 K, 5 A); pronotum with median longitudinal carina obsolete on posterior half (Figures 1 K, 5 A); pygofer with basal anal processes with inner edges covered with fine spines on apical two-thirds (Figure 5 E) and the minutiae of the male genitalia (Figure 5 A – G).	en	Liang, Ai-Ping, Wang, Rong-Rong (2012): A revision of the endemic Australian spittlebug genus Anyllis Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Aphrophoridae) with descriptions of two new species.
