“…For each subsample, every male (or male abdomen) was removed and placed head down in melted clear paraffin wax, so that the genital capsule of the leafhopper was uppermost when the wax solidified. The aedeagus of each individual was examined under a binocular microscope and the species differentiated using the descriptions of Knight (1976). Traps from inside the orchard were subsampled in this way, but as there were fewer Typhlocyba spp.…”

Three life stages (summer eggs, nymphs, and adults) of Froggatt's apple leafhopper (Typhlocyba froggatti Baker) were sampled in an abandoned Canterbury apple orchard over two seasons. Leaf samples for summer eggs and nymphs, and sticky board samples for adults, strongly indicated the presence of two generations and the possibility of a partial third. Summer eggs of T. froggatti were parasitised by immature stages of Anagrus armatus Ashmead. Sticky board samples of A. armatus adults indicated good temporal synchronisation between the parasite and host populations.

“…There was no mention of the other Australian species, including E. ix. Knight (1976a) synonymised E. ix and three New Zealand species with Zygina zealandica (Myers), which he noted was Australian in origin. The other Australian species listed by Evans (1966) in Erythroneura were transferred to Zygina by Day and Fletcher (1994).…”

“…Evans (1966) listed the New Zealand species of Zygina and recognised six species. The most recent revision of the New Zealand Typhlocybinae (Knight 1976a) synonymised all of Myers' (1923) species of Erythroneura under the single name Z. zealandica and added two new species to the genus which, together with E. toetoe and Z. dumbletoni, brought the number of species of Zygina in New Zealand to five. Knight (1976a) regarded four of these to be endemics with the fifth, Z. zealandica (Myers) being of Australian origin.…”

Species of Erythroneurini (Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) currently placed in the genus Zygina and found in Australia, New Zealand and some neighbouring islands are transferred to the new genus Anzygina, type species Erythroneura sidnica Kirkaldy, following comparison with the type species of the genus: Typhlocyba nivea Mulsant and Rey. New combinations are Anzygina sidnica (Kirkaldy), Anzygina honiloa (Kirkaldy), Anzygina melanogaster (Kirkaldy) and Anzygina sativae (Evans) from Australia, Anzygina toetoe (Cumber), Anzygina agni (Knight), Anzygina dumbletoni (Ghauri) and Anzygina ramsayi (Knight) from New Zealand, Anzygina zealandica (Myers) from Australia and New Zealand, Anzygina jowettae (Knight) from Norfolk Island and Anzygina medioborealis (Ghauri) from Papua New Guinea. Lectotypes are designated for Erythroneura honiloa Kirkaldy and E. sidnica Kirkaldy. Anzygina billi sp.n. is described from SE Qld, and Anzygina barrattae sp.n. is described from the South Island of New Zealand. A. agni is a new record for Australia and is presumed to be Australian in origin. A. dumbletoni has a distribution which suggests that it also is introduced to New Zealand although its origins are not known. A. ramsayi, A. barrattae and A. toetoe, all of which appear to be New Zealand endemics, show affinity with each other based on aedeagal structure. A key to these species, based on males, is provided. The lack of male syntypes for Erythroneura honiala Kirkaldy and Erythroneura lubra Kirkaldy precludes establishment of their identities relative to other species of the genus, and both names are regarded as having nomen dubium status. Australian species not transferred to Anzygina are Zygina evansi (Ross) and Zygina ipoloa (Kirkaldy), both of which belong elsewhere.
