CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 215 
Thorax with pronotal width greater than transocular width of head, lateral 
_ margins convergent anteriorly, dorsopleural carinae complete or nearly so, 
posterior margin varying from convex to slightly concave, disk without 
sculpturing, without pubescence; scutellum not striate behind transverse 
sulcus. Forewing with a membrane, veins not very distinct, with four apical 
cells of which base of fourth is more proximal than base of third, without an- 
teapical plexus of veins, texture translucent, except for dark markings, and 
without sculpturing; forewings of female in rest position exceeding apex of 
ovipositor. Hindleg with femoral setal formula 2:1:1; length of first tarsomere 
greater than combined length of two more distal tarsomeres and with two 
parallel rows of small setae on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer moderately produced posteriorly, with a distinct 
dorsal process or lobe, posteroventral lobe bearing non-seriate macrosetae. 
Plates triangular, abruptly narrowed near midlength, not extending 
posteriorly as far as pygofer apex, each with uniseriate macrosetae on basal 
half. Style without preapical lobe, not extending posteriorly beyond apex of 
connective. Connective broad, variable in shape interspecifically. Paraphyses 
absent. Aedeagus without or with weak dorsal apodemes, with a pair of basi- 
ventral atrial processes, shaft curved slightly or strongly ventrad, with a pair 
of processes arising beyond base and varying interspecifically. 
Female abdominal sternum VII elongate, not extremely narrow, apex with 
a median emargination delimited by a lobe on each side. Dorsal membrane of 
genital chamber with a conspicuous median plate. Ovipositor with valvulae II 
each expanded in slightly more than apical half, the width of the expanded
