814687C0FFE5D932FF48FF3AFDBFFB38.taxon	etymology	Etymology.

814687C0FFE5D931FF48FB5BFD55FEDB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Pedionis dentiforma resembles P. spinata Zhang & Viraktamath internally, but differs in having more caudo-ventral setae; longer apical setae on subgenital plates; and the apical processes of the aedeagus much wider and sharper. It also has obvious differences externally: lighter colouration; much clearer striations and spots. Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word “ dentiformis ”, referring to the contrastingly colored, tusklike basal triangles of the scutellum.	en	Yang, Liyuan, Zhang, Yalin (2014): Three new species in the leafhopper genus Pedionis Hamilton (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Macropsinae) from China, with a key to Chinese species.
