CICADELLINAE : PART I. PROCONIINI 83 



this problem should be submitted to the International Commission of 

 Zoological Nomenclature. 



This genus is closely related to Procandea and Dcsamera, in the discus- 

 sion of which distinguishing characters are treated. 



The holotype of C. atomaria (Walker) and the lectotypes of C. puncti- 

 pennis (Schmidt) and C. adspersus (Fabricius) agree closely with the 

 illustration of adspersus (fig. 71). The lectotype of C. punctulifera (Meli- 

 char) agrees also, except that the apex of the male plate differs slightly 

 in ventral view. 



The holotypes of Ciccus viridivitta (Walker) and C. triplaga (Walker) 

 agree well with the illustrations of viridivitta (fig. 72) as does the lecto- 

 type of Cicada canaliculata Fabricius, which is a preoccupied name.

Type-species: Amblydisca JIuctuosa Fowler, 1898a:211. 



Length of male 9-10 mm. 



Head very slightly produced, its median length much less than 

 interocular width, anterior margin elevated and thickened, the crown 

 thus rounded to face, ocelli located slightly behind a line between 

 anterior angles of eyes, each about equidistant between adjacent
