FAM. CICADID^; 



i5 



larlv produced ; tegmina about three times as long as broad, the transverse vein at base of second apical 

 area more or less vertical; wings about half the length of tegmina, the latter with eight apical areas, the 

 basal cell longer than broad. 



Type. 



P. hiluris, Germar. 



Geographical distribution of species. — The whole of the Neotropical Region. Antilles, 

 and Southern portion of the Nearctic Region. 



Some confusion may arise in separating this genus from Tympanoterpes, Stal (Ann. Soc. Ent. 

 Fr. (4), Vol. 1. p. 614, 1861), in which the founder had previously placed several of the species which 

 he afterwards included in Proarna, and which again subsequently, in « Conspectus generum » (Hem. 

 Afr. Vol. 4, p. 7. 1866), he separates primarily by the moderately erect or curved and non-oblique 

 transverse vein at the base of the second apical vein to the tegmina.
