CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 229 
of the male holotype of 7. sedecimguttata Taschenberg are almost identical to 
those of the lectotype of 7. auriplena. I have studied the female holotype of 
Cicadella sulfureoguttata Osborn. 
I have not seen type specimens of Tettigonia duodectmpunctata Germar. The 
present interpretation agrees with Signoret’s (1853b, pl. 9, fig. 4) illustration. 
Blanchard’s (1840a:190) description of Tettigonia elegantissima and Signoret’s 
(1853b, pl. 9, fig. 5) illustration both apply to a form with genitalia like 
Amblyscartidia albofasciata (Walker), but otherwise most closely resembling A. 
incredibilis, n. sp., which has been commonly misdetermined as elegantissima. I 
retain elegantissima because it looks distinct from albofasctata. 
I select, as lectotype, a male specimen of Tettigonia luteolinea Taschenberg, 
with the label: ‘“‘Nov./Frib.”” on the same pin, and a separate label accom- 
panying this and another specimen and stating “‘luteolinea-/ ta m./Bras. 
Br.”. I have placed a lectotype label on this specimen from HS.
