Type species: Empoasca decedens Paoli.</p><p>Empoasca Walsh, in part; Dworakowska, 1968: 566; Nast 1972: 264. Synonymised by Dworakowska, 1968.</p><p>Diagnosis. Small, green Empoascini resembling Empoasca in external morphology but differing as follows: male subgenital plate narrow at base, lacking angulate dorsolateral projection, setal group A arising far from base of plate; anal hook usually with small apical denticuli; aedeagus with well developed dorsal apodeme, shaft as long as or longer than preatrium with single long asymmetrical process arising at apex and extended basolaterad.</p><p>Notes. Asymmetrasca was listed as a junior synonym of Empoasca by Nast (1972) and this interpretation has was followed by the principal taxonomic worker on Palearctic Typhlocybinae (Dworakowska 1982), although other recent authors, mostly in the economic entomology literature (e.g., Jacas et al. 1997), have continued to recognize Asymmetrasca as a valid genus. As noted above, species of the genus differ substantially from the type species of Empoasca in the structure of the male subgenital plate and aedeagus. Therefore, we recognize Asymmetrasca as a valid genus, distinct from Empoasca, sensu stricto . Asymmetrasca appears to be restricted to the Palearctic and Oriental regions and includes 10 previously described species and 6 new species described below. The described species are very similar morphologically, differing mainly in the relative shape, proportions and ornamentation of the aedeagal shaft, preatrium and apical process.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2547AB19FFCDFF8EFF08701FFC6CF931	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

All in NWAFU.</p><p>Length: ♂ 2.9 mm–3.0 mm.</p><p>General color of body yellow-greenish (Fig. 108). Crown yellowish, with obvious olive markings on each side of coronal suture (Fig. 105). Pronotum broad, with irregular patches of yellow-greenish on anterior margin. Lateral parts of scutellum with cream-yellowish triangular spots. Forewing and hind wing semitransparent. Abdomen yellow. Legs pale yellow to pale green (Fig. 107).</p><p>Abdominal apodemes subparallel-sided, reaching midlength of segment 5 (Fig. 41). Male pygofer slightly narrowing caudad, ornamented with 7 rigid setae on each side of pygofer lobe (Fig. 40); pygofer appendage slightly curved, not exceeding caudal margin of lobe in lateral view. Subgenital plate in lateral view curved gradually caudodorsad apically, expanded apically; group A with 4 moderately long setae; group B with 21 short microsetae, group C arranged in two rows of macrosetae, from medial margin to apical margin of inner side, group D irregular, with most setae short except near apex (Fig. 46). Paramere long, subapically curved, dentifer with 5 teeth; 3–6 setae present preapically (Fig. 45). Connective broad, with posterior margin slightly emarginate medially (Fig. 42). Aedeagus with preatrium nearly as long as shaft, very broad in lateral view; dorsal apodeme relatively small; shaft somewhat sinuate, without dorsal denticuli; apical process slender, nearly straight, apex weakly bifurcated (Figs 43, 44).</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet is based on the province, Liaoning, where the holotype was collected Diagnosis. This species is similar to A. lutowa Dworakowska, 1971, but differs in the much broader preatrium and nearly straight aedeagal process.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2547AB19FFC4FF86FF087582FDF3FF14	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
