LEAFHOPPER SUBFAMILY NEOCOELIDIINAE — KRAMER 271 



Male genitalia: Valve lacking. Male plates separated only api- 

 caliy. Pygofer in lateral view with ventral tooth and appearing cleft 

 at apex due to long mesally curved dorsal hook and weakly sclerotized 

 ventral extension. Anal tube simple but long. Stylar apex in dorsal 

 view curving laterally and caudally. Connective heavy and Y- 

 shaped. Aedeagus simple, compressed and upturned at apex. 



Discussion. — The type species was illustrated in color when 

 originally described by Fowler (1900, p. 282, tab. 19, fig. 6). This 

 illustration is very good for showing the general markings of the 

 leafhopper; however, in the specunen at hand the ground color is a 

 brighter yellow-orange and the stripe on the commissural claval area 

 is of a red-wine shade. This species is Ivnown from three syntypes, all 

 of which are in the British Museum. Through the kindness of Dr. 

 W. E. China, one male specimen was made available for this study. 

 This male with data "Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet, 

 Champion" is hereby designated as the lectotype. The male genitalia 

 of Salvina dorsisignata (Fowler), the only included species, are illus- 

 trated in figures 61-65.

Figures 66-74 



Neocoelidiana subgenus Cocoelidia DeLong 1953, p. 126. Type of subgenus 

 Neocoelidiana antlera DeLong by original designation. 



Desckiption. — With carina separating face and crown. Crown in 

 dorsal view wider than long, bluntly angular apically, and produced 

 beyond eyes. Ocelli on anterior margin of crown. Head including 

 eyes narrower than pronotum. Antennae only about half as long as 

 body including fore wings. Posterior margin of pronotum broadly 

 indented. Venation of forewings obscure except at apex. 



Ground color sordid yellow to light brown with weakly contrasting 

 yellowish markings on head and dorsum of thorax. Apex of crown 

 with black spot. Forewings brown hyaline. 



Male genitalia: Valve lacking. Ventral cover of genital capsule 

 sharply narrowed on distal half appearing as two extended "fingers." 

 Pygofer in lateral view with ventral tooth and dorsal distally hooked 

 process. Anal tube with short, forked ventral process. Connective 

 Y-shaped with stalk bifurcate to receive aedeagus. Style simple. 

 Aedeagus slender, recurved distally with pair of preapical processes. 



Discussion. — The Mexican leafhopper, Cocoelidia antlera (De- 

 Long), is the only included species. The male genitalia are illustrated 

 in figures 66-74.
