CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 201 
expanded portion bearing large irregular primary teeth near base, the teeth 
becoming progressively smaller apically and ending slightly before apex; apex 
narrowly rounded. Pygofer slender, narrowly rounded at apex, with mul- 
tiseriate setae parallel to posteroventral margin and a few at pygofer apex. 
Species of Poeciloscarta are quite variable in color. 
Specimens belonging to Poeciloscarta have been examined from the Guianas 
and from the Amazon Valley in Venezuela and Brazil, and from Peru and 
Bolivia. The genus is related to Janastana, new genus, and Cardioscarta 
Melichar in the discussions of which distinguishing characters are treated. 
These three genera have the pygofer moderately (Janastana) to well produced 
in the males, and abdominal sternum VII elongate in the females. The second 
valvulae of the ovipositors also have similarities. 
My interpretation of Tettigonia aurorula Breddin is based on an examina- 
tion of a female from DEI. This specimen is here designated as lectotype. 
It bears labels: ‘‘Stid-America/Cumbase” and ‘‘Type” and ‘‘Tettigonia/ 
aurorula/Bredd.” and ‘Coll. Breddin’’, and the lectotype label. This spe- 
cies, dull orange with a transverse stripe behind the pronotum and a second 
behind the clavus, in addition to the crown markings, is easily distinguished 
externally by this color pattern. The aedeagus of the male is different from 
other forms in the genus. 
The genitalia of the male lectotype of Cicada cardinalis Fabricius are like the 
specimen illustrated here from Santarém, Brazil, except for minor differences 
in the aedeagus, which are illustrated. There may be several species close to 
cardinalis, with only small differences, externally and in the male genitalia, 
Many more specimens would have to be studied to assess the constancy and 
significance of the small differences. Walker’s Tettigonia extricans, of which the 
male lectotype has been studied falls in this complex. The aedeagus is very 
close to the specimen from Santarém, Brazil illustrated in figure 160f.

designation. 
Length 8.8-12.4 mm. 
Head well produced, median length of crown from slightly less than six-
