CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 25] 
in most other species of genus, and with a pair of short acute apicoventral 
processes. Female abdominal sternum VII moderately produced, posterior 
margin bluntly tapered, with a slight median convexity; ovipositor with 
second valvulae acute apically, ventral margins rectilinear; pygofer with 
macrosetae in a narrow group parallel to apical and apicoventral margin. 
Male with crown, pronotum, and forewings brown, scutellum tan, crown 
with a yellow spot above antennal ledge touching ocellus on each side and a 
transverse oval yellow spot on each side of pronotal disk, forewing with an 
elongate spot bordering claval suture in its basal half and two small spots on 
corium opposite apical one-third of claval suture, ivory tinged with blue; face 
with disk of clypeus and clypellus brown, median area of clypeus in some 
specimens (holotype) yellow, remainder of face dull yellow except dark bor- 
ders of genae beneath eyes; thoracic pleura dull yellow, in some specimens 
with dark markings; legs brown. Female with crown yellow, unmarked, con- 
colorous with scutellum, pronotal spots less distinct, confluent medially in one 
specimen; forewings paler brown than in male and with pale spots less con- 
trasting, otherwise as in male. 
Holotype male, ‘Rio Vitaco”, Venezuela?; one male ‘‘Hohenau’’, 
Venezuela?; two males and two females, ‘‘Alto de las Cruces”? Venezuela? 
(two of these labeled also ‘“‘W. Cordillera’?) (MMB). 
A. amissa, n. sp., differs from other species of Amblyscartidia in its smaller 
size, in the presence of apicoventral processes on the aedeagus, and in the 
form of the paraphyses of the male. The second valvulae of the ovipositor are 
more acute apically than in A. albofasciata (Walker) (fig. 185m) and the ventral 
margins are rectilinear instead of convex.

FiGuRE 191, PAGE 234 
Length of male 8.0 mm, of female 8.0-8.3 mm. Head with median length of 
crown slightly less than one-half interocular width and approximately three- 
tenths transocular width; clypeus with muscle impressions not very distinct; 
clypellus in profile continuing profile of face. Pronotum with width less than 
transocular width of head, lateral margins parallel, dorsopleural carinae in- 
complete, posterior margin convex or concave; forewing with membrane not 
sharply delimited. Male genitalia with style extending approximately as far 
posteriorly as apex of connective, with a lobe near midlength; connective Y- 
shaped; paraphyses with stalk much shorter than rami which are approx- 
imate at their bases, bear a median lobe near their midlength and each with 
the inner margin erose from the base of the lobe to the apex of the ramus; 
aedeagus as in A. albofasciata (Walker). Female abdominal sternum VII 
weakly produced, with posterior margin varying from regularly convex (fig. 
1911) to transverse and with a weak posterolateral lobe on each side. 
Ground color of crown, pronotum, and scutellum black, pale markings sor- 
did yellow to ivory often with a bluish tinge, transverse pale arc of crown in- 
terrupted at transition of antennal ledge to face, pronotum with pale trans- 
verse band attaining lateral margins; forewing with a diagonal pale line in
