Two new species of Cicadellinae (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) from Yunnan, China
Two new species of the subfamily Cicadellinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), <i>Atkinsoniella piscioscillum</i> Jiang & Yang, <b>sp. nov.</b>, and <i>A. hippocampus</i> Jiang & Yang, <b>sp. nov.</b> from Yunnan, China are described and illustrated. <i>Atkinsoniella piscioscillum</i> Jiang & Yang, <b>sp. nov.</b> is similar to <i>A. yani</i> Yang, Meng & Li, 2017 in appearance, but can be distinguished by the color of the legs, the characteristic of the two longitudinal red stripes on the corium, and the morphology of the male genitalia. <i>Atkinsoniella hippocampus</i> Jiang & Yang, <b>sp. nov.</b> is similar to nine <i>Atkinsoniella</i> species, but can be differentiated by the characteristics of aedeagus and subgenital plate. All type specimens of the two new species are deposited at the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China (GUGC).
