CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 79 
10. Genus PARINAEOTA MeELICHAR 
FIGURE 46 
Parinaeota Melichar, 1926a:341. Type-species: Parinaeota bakeri, nomen nudum, by subse- 
quent designation of Evans, 1947a:163 (species described hereinafter). 
Length of female 10.4 mm. 
Head well produced with anterior margin broadly rounded in dorsal view, 
median length of crown almost two-thirds interocular width and approxi- 
mately four-tenths transocular width, with a carina at median portion of tran- 
sition from crown to face, ocelli located before a line between anterior eye 
angles, each closer to median line of crown than to adjacent anterior eye 
angle, crown strongly convex between ocelli, lateral clypeal sutures extending 
onto crown but not attaining ocelli; antennal ledges protuberant, in lateral 
view with anterior margins vertical and almost rectilinear; clypeus convex, 
muscle impressions not very distinct, face with weak pubescence on its lower 
portion, transclypeal suture interrupted medially, clypellus not strongly pro- 
duced, its profile continuing contour of clypeus. 
Thorax with pronotal width greater than transocular width of head, lateral 
margins convergent anteriorly, dorsopleural carinae complete, posterior 
margin obtusangularly concave, surface pubescent with strong depressions 
behind anterior margin and coarsely transversely rugose on remainder; 
scutellum transversely striate behind transverse sulcus. Forewing with only in- 
ner apical cell membranous; veins elevated and distinct, with four apical cells 
of which base of fourth is more proximal than base of third, without an an- 
teapical plexus of veins, bases of anteapical cells proximal to claval apex; fore- 
wings of female in rest position exceeding apex of ovipositor. Hindleg with 
femoral setal formula 2:0:0, length of first tarsomere approximately equal to 
combined length of two more distal tarsomeres, with two parallel rows of 
small setae on plantar surface. 
Male unknown. 
Female genital structures as in Stehlikiana, new genus. 
Parinaeota Melichar is closer to Stehliktana than to other genera treated here, 
but Stehltkiana differs in lacking a carina at the transition from crown to face, 
in that the ocelli are behind a line between the anterior eye angles, in that the 
crown is concave, in that the clypeus is flattened, in the usually narrower 
thorax in relation to the transocular width of the head, and in the 2:1:1 hind 
femoral setal formula. Parinaeota is known only from the type-species, from 
Peru, described below.

Structural characters as in generic description. Ground color of anterior 
dorsum and forewings tan with following markings black: a pair of round 
spots near apex at transition to face, a quadrate spot above antennal ledge on 
each side bordering inner eye margin and an angular spot at base behind
