Type material. Holotype: ♂, CHINA: Guizhou Prov., Jiangkou County, Fanjingshan, 2 August 2014, coll. Qiang Luo (GUGC). Remarks. The new species is similar to P. pseudorugosus Dietrich et al. 2020 in general appearance but can be distinguished from the later by the style short and without teeth and the differently shaped connective. Etymology. The new species name is derived from the Latin word “ circinatus ”, referring to the crown with circular markings.Published as part of Yao, Binbin, Zhang, Runzhi & Xing, Jichun, 2022, Review of Chinese species of genus Phlogothamnus Ishihara (Hemiptera Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) with description of a new species, pp. 422-431 in Zootaxa 5129 (3) on page 424, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5129.3.6, http://zenodo.org/record/650125
