CICADELLINAE : PART I. PROCONIENI 3 



An effort has been made to indicate in the checklists those species 

 of which types have not been studied and those known from female 

 specimens only. 



In the relatively few cases where lectotypes are selected, labels on 

 the specimens are quoted line for line, with each line separated by a 

 slash (/), and the individual labels separated by the word "and." 



With few exceptions, complete bibliographic citations are not in- 

 cluded in the present work. Instead, the author's name is followed by a 

 code citation consisting of the year and a letter, usually followed by a 

 page number. These code citations refer to Metcalf's "General Cata- 

 logue of the Homoptera," Fascicle VI, "Cicadelloidea: Bibliography of 

 the Cicadelloidea (Homoptera: Auchenorhyncha)" published in 

 March 1964 by the Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department 

 of Agriculture. The code numbers of this Catalogue are the same as, 

 but more inclusive than, Metcalf s "Bibliography of the Homoptera 

 Auchenorhyncha," vol. 1 (1942), published in 1944, by the North 

 Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering, University of 

 North Carolina. The terminal bibliographic section of the present 

 work includes only those papers not included in the 1964 bibliography. 



Unless stated otherwise, all the new names and names of new taxa 

 proposed in this paper are to be considered arbitrary combinations of 

 letters. For the new genera, it is the author's intent that the nominal 

 species cited be accepted as type-species. Paratypes were not selected 

 for the new species. 



When problems arose as to localities, the works consulted were the 

 Reader's Digest "Great World Atlas" (1963), Bartholomew's "The 

 Citizen's Adas of the World" (Edinburgh, 1952), maps and indices of 

 the Nadonal Geographic Society (Washington, D.C.), "Index to Map 

 of Hispanic America" (American Geographical Society, N.Y., 1945), 

 and for perdnent localides, "A Gazeteer of Entomological Stations in 

 Ecuador" (F. Martin Brown, Ann. Ent. Soc. Amer. 34:809-851, 1941). 



A number of the type specimens of new species described here are 

 deposited in the U.S. National Museum. Numbers and entries in the 

 USNM Type Catalogue are not included here, because the types of 

 species of Cicadellidae are arranged alphabetically by authors and 

 thereunder alphabetically by trivial name in a segregated type col- 

 lection in the U.S. National Museum. Easy access to the types and to 

 their label information is thus provided. 



Because of space and time considerations, there has been no effort to 

 keep an inventory of the institutional source of all the specimens ex- 

 amined. Also for want of time, misidentifications in the literature have 

 not been corrected. Many of the localities previously reported for some 

 of the species are based on misidentifications. The geographic range
