CICADELLINAE : PART I. PROCONIINI 133 



21. ANACROCAMPSA, wew;^^««^ 



Figures 125, 126 



Type-species: Amblydisca frenata Melichar. 



Length of male 10.8-11.5 mm. 



Head moderately produced, with median length slightly more than 

 half interocular width, ocelli each closer to median line than to adjacent 

 anterior eye angle, without an M -shaped elevation bordering posterior 

 margin, surface of crown with or without pubescence; antennal ledges 

 each with a longitudinal fovea, carinate dorsally in lateral aspect; 

 other head characters as in Paracrocampsa. 



Thorax with lateral pronotal margins convergent anteriorly, pronotal 

 disc coarsely punctate, in lateral aspect with a complete dorsopleural 

 keel which is arched downwards; other thoracic characters as in 

 Paracrocampsa. Forewing with a membrane which includes all apical 

 cells, veins indistinct, clavus and corium coriaceous, the former punc- 

 tate, otherwise as in Paracrocampsa. Hindwing as in Paracrocampsa. 

 Hindlegs with femoral setal formula 2:0:0; or 2:1:0; otherwise as 

 in Paracrocampsa. 



Male genitalia: Pygofer strongly produced and with a slight apical 

 unsclcrotized process, with a few elongate microsetae on disc (except 

 dorsally) from base to apex. Plates separate throughout their length, 

 not extending as far posteriorly as pygofer apex, each triangular, 

 with numerous evenly dispersed microsetae. Style extending very 

 slighdy farther posteriorly than apex of connective, with a distinct 

 preapical lobe, rounded or subangulate at apex. Connective Y-shaped, 

 with stem much longer than arms and widened apically, not keeled. 

 Aedeagus symmetrical, with paired dorsal processes, with or without 

 a ventral process on shaft. Paraphyses elongate, slender, curved 

 regularly postered orsally. 



Female abdominal sternum VII strongly, regularly convex in A. bidens 

 (Taschenberg). 



Specimens have been examined only from southeastern Brazil. 

 Anacrocampsa is very closely related to Paracrocampsa, from which it 

 may be readily distinguished by its more rounded head apex in dorsal 

 aspect, its more elongate connective and the forna of the style apices 

 which are not truncate as they are in Paracrocampsa. 



A lectotype label was placed by me on the female specimen from the 

 type series of Tetligonia bidens Taschenberg, loaned from HS. The 

 specimen bore no labels, but the accompanying label was "bidens m/ 

 Bras, [one word illegible]." The abdomen is missing from the other 

 specimen.
