CICADELLINAE : PART I. PROCONIESTI 87 



closely related to Desamera, from which it can be separated by the char- 

 acters in the key. It is also closely related to Depanisca, in the discussion 

 of which distinguishing characters are set forth. 



A male specimen compared with the type of D. bugabensis (Fowler) 

 and a male compared with the lectotype of D. postfumata (Fowler) 

 both had genital structures like those in figure 74. 



SPECIES OF DEPANANA 

 bugabensis (Fowler), I898a:210 {Amblydisca) . Guatemala, Panama. New

Figures 75, 76 



Type-species: Tettigonia sulcata Signoret. 



Length 10.4-12.1 mm. 



Head moderately produced, median length from slightly more than 

 half to seven-tenths interocular width, ocelli located behind a line 

 between anterior eye angles, each slightly closer to median line than to 

 adjacent eye angle, with or without an M -shaped elevation bordering 

 posterior margin; antennal ledges each with a longitudinal sulcus, in 

 lateral aspect carinate dorsally, anterior margins oblique; clypeus with 

 disc depressed or not, clypellus not keeled ; otherwise as in Procandea. 



Thorax with lateral pronotal margins convergent anteriorly, disc 

 rugose and punctate, pubescent or not, posterior pronotal margin 

 weakly or strongly concave; scutellum transversely striate or not on 

 posterior half; otherwise as in Procandea. Forewing with or without a 

 membrane, veins obscure or elevated and distinct, surface without 

 pits or punctures, with four apical cells, base of third more proximal 

 than base of fourth, with or without discal supernumerary veins, usually 

 with anteapical supernumerary crossveins to costal margin; other 

 characters as in Procandea. Hindwing with vein R2+3 incomplete. Hind- 

 legs with femoral setal formula 2:1:0; first tarsomere with length less 

 than combined length of second and third tarsomeres. 



Male genitalia: Pygofer in lateral aspect as in Procandea, without 

 macrosetae, with a pair of sclerotized lobes on conjunctiva IX-X. 

 Plates extending posteriorly farther than pygofer apex, each sub- 

 triangular, with a small number of evenly dispersed macrosetae; 

 otherwise as in Procandea. Style not extending as far posteriorly as 

 apex of connective, with distinct preapical lobe, subtruncate apically. 

 Connective elongate, Y-shaped, basal arms very slightly divergent, 

 stem not very broad. Aedeagus slender and elongate, curved gradually
