CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 241 
with a lobe near midlength; connective variable; paraphyses present, sym- 
metrical, stalked or not; aedeagus usually with apical processes (exception: P. 
uittifacies (Signoret)) and with lobate or acute anteapical processes. 
Female abdominal sternum VII slender and well produced, truncate and 
occasionally slightly emarginate medially at apex. Second valvula of ovipositor 
of vittifacies (fig. 195m) much as in Amblyscartidia, except that the dorsal margin 
is more convex, and the widest primary teeth are near valvular apex. Pygofer 
not strongly produced, with a number of macrosetae on posterior half. 
Species of Paratubana are blunt-headed with paired pale pronotal spots and 
with a median clypeal pale spot that is bordered with black. Specimens have 
been seen only from southeastern Brazil and northern Argentina. The species 
are very similar in appearance to species of Amblyscartidia but the males 
usually do not have the dorsal aedeagal modifications of the shaft found in 
Amblyscartidia and the females have a more slender, more strongly produced 
abdominal sternum VII than in the latter genus. 
Of a series of specimens of P. /uteomaculata (Signoret) determined by 
Melichar in MHNP, only two appear to be accurately determined. The pre- 
sent interpretation is based on the male of this pair. I have studied the lec- 
totype (fig. 198) of Tettigonia nigrocincta (Signoret). 
I have seen no specimen eligible for the lectotype of Tettigonia vittifacies 
(Signoret). The specimen(s) should be in Berlin. The present interpretation of 
this species is the same as specimens determined by Melichar in MHNP. 
Tettigonia westwood: Signoret is represented in the Signoret collection in NMV 
by two females, one of which was damaged by mould, the other (fig. 194 in 
the present work) of which has broken wing apices. A specimen in MHNP, 
probably seen by Signoret, has no abdomen.
