CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 3 
posterior margin concave, disk not transversely rugulose, not pubescent; 
scutellum not transversely striate behind transverse sulcus. Forewing with 
membrane including all of inner three apical cells and apical one-half of 
fourth apical cell, veins distinct, with three closed anteapical cells and four 
apical cells, the base of fourth located more proximally than base of third, 
without an anteapical plexus of veins, but often with supernumerary cross- 
veins in middle anteapical cell. Hindleg with femoral setal formula 2:1:1; 
length of first tarsomere greater than length of two more distal tarsomeres, 
and with two parallel rows of small setae on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer moderately produced with apex broadly convex or 
angulate, with a number of macrosetae on posterior half, pygofer processes 
absent. Plates elongate triangular, extending posteriorly to or beyond pygofer 
apex, narrowed at about midlength, with uniseriate macrosetae. Style not or 
scarcely extending posteriorly beyond apex of connective, narrowly rounded 
apically, with preapical lobe. Connective broad, U-shaped or subpapilioni- 
form. Aedeagus with dorsal apodemes elongate, shaft short, without processes. 
Paraphyses absent. 
Female abdominal sternum VII moderately long, keeled medially, with 
middle of posterior margin produced and tapering to narrowly rounded apex. 
Genital chamber without sclerites. Ovipositor with second valvulae each 
broadened in less than apical two-thirds of portion beyond basal curvature, 
bearing primary teeth almost to apex, with minute secondaries on the pri- 
maries and with minute anteapical denticulations on dorsal and posteroven- 
tral margins, apex rounded. Pygofer with posterior margin broadly convex, 
macrosetae located parallel to posterior and posteroventral margins, not 
numerous. 
Specimens of Begonalia, are known from northern Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, 
and Bolivia. Nothing is known of the biology. Females are rare in collections. 
I have seen only one, belonging to the type-species, collected by Juan Salazar 
and me, in general sweeping, in Chanchamayo, Peru. More than 150 speci- 
mens were at hand for this study. 
Both species of Begonalia, new genus, may resemble Macugonalia species in 
the mottled head and the size, but the transverse concavity on the crown in 
Begonalia, the longer plates in the males, and the absence of aedeagal proceses 
will separate it readily from Macugonalia, new genus. It is related to Gorgonalta, 
new genus, but the relatively short head and deeper concavity of the crown of 
Begonalia are distinctive. 
My interpretation of Tettigoniella hydra Distant is based on the lectotype. I 
have seen four males, from OSU from the type-series of Cicadella inscriptula 
Osborn. I select one of these as lectotype. It bears labels: ‘““Chulumani/ 
Bolivia/Dec. 9, ’98” and “9017¢”, and ‘‘Holotype/Cicadella/inscriptula/ 
Osborn” and ‘‘Herbert Osborn/Collection” and Osborn’s handwritten 
determination label, and the lectotype label. The genitalia agree with the 
figures published here (fig. 134, c-/). 
I have determined Cicadella nubicula Osborn in the sense of two specimens 
bearing this label and attributed to Breddin. Osborn stated in his original 
description that he had such specimens at hand. The Breddin name was a 
nomen nudum, and never appeared in a publication by Breddin.
