CICADELLINAE : PART I. PROCONIINI 97 



uncertain as to its proper generic placement. It and its synonym, 

 P. latipennis (Melichar) are each known from a single female. 



P. irrorata (Fabricius) is retained here for the common widespread 

 North American species of the genus, in spite of the fact that P. nigri- 

 pennis (Fabricius) has page priority. Metcalf (1965a:632) considered 

 the latter as the valid name, presumably because of page priority. 

 The Metcalf Catalogue (loc. cit.) indicates that Van Duzee (1894a:269) 

 was the first to recognize the synonymy, and he used irrorata as the 

 valid name, an action in which he was followed by a majority of subse- 

 quent writers. As noted in the following check list, I have not seen 

 the type of Cicada nigripennis Fabricius. There are no specimens of it in 

 the Fabriciaa collections in Copenhagen. 



The lectot)'pe of P. albidipennis (Fowler) has the abdominal sternum 

 VII somewhat different from that of the lectotype oiP.figurata (Fowler), 

 but the difference is believed to be intraspecific. 



The male genitalia of the lectotype of P. mutans (Signoret) agree 

 with the specimen illustrated in figure 88, except that the base of the 

 style has an anterior apodeme. The holotype of P. consistens (Walker) 

 agrees with the present interpretation of P. mutans (Signoret), as do 

 the holotype of P. obliqua (Walker) and lectotype of P. invidenda 

 (Fowler). 



The present interpretation of P. panamensis (Fowler) is based on a 

 dissected male specimen compared with the undissected male lectotype.
