CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI pas 
The identity of the type-species, Tettigonia scita Walker rests on a com- 
parison of the genitalia of a male compared with holotype and with the il- 
lustrations published here. 
36. Genus SPHAEROPOGONIA BreEppDIN 
Ficures 208-210 
Sphaeropogonia Breddin, 1901f:100. Type-species: Sphaeropogonta aureatula Breddin, by sub- 
sequent designation of Melichar, 1926a:337. 
Length 15.5-16.5 mm. 
Head moderately produced, median length of crown from one-third to one- 
half interocular width and from slightly more than one-fifth to slightly more 
than one-third transocular width, anterior margin broadly rounded in dorsal 
view, without a carina at transition from crown to face, ocelli located before a 
line between anterior eye angles, each closer to adjacent anterior eye angle 
than to median line, crown convex without a transverse concavity between 
ocelli, without a median fovea and without sculpturing or setae, lateral clypeal 
sutures extending onto crown and attaining ocelli; antennal ledges not 
protuberant, in lateral view with anterior margins rectilinear and oblique; 
clypeus very slightly flattened medially, muscle impressions distinct, without 
pubescence, transclypeal suture obsolete at middle, clypellus not strongly con- 
vex, in profile with its contour continuing that of clypeus. 
Thorax with pronotal width greater than transocular width of head, lateral 
margins convergent anteriorly, dorsopleural carinae complete, posterior 
margin concave, disk transversely rugose, not pubescent; scutellum not striate 
behind transverse sulcus. Forewing without a membrane, veins indistinct, not 
elevated, with four apical cells, the base of fourth slightly more proximal than 
base of third, without an anteapical plexus of veins, texture opaque and 
without sculpturing; forewings of female in rest position exceeding apex of 
ovipositor. Hindleg with femoral setal formula 2:1:1; or 2:1:1:1; length of first 
tarsomere greater than combined length of second and third tarsomeres, with 
two longitudinal rows of small setae on plantar surface and several setae be- 
tween the rows at the apices. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer moderately produced, posterior margin regularly 
convex with few macrosetae near posterior margin. Plates fairly short, 
triangular, not extending as far posteriorly as pygofer apex, each with mul- 
tiseriate short macrosetae. Style extending as far posteriorly as apex of con- 
nective or not, with preapical lobe. Connective Y-shaped, the arms widely 
divergent. Aedeagus symmetrical, short, laterally compressed, with width of 
shaft greater than half its length, without processes. Paraphyses present, aris- 
ing from a broad common base, the arms crossed apically. 
Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin slightly produced 
and concavely truncate. Genital chamber without sclerites in dorsal mem- 
brane. Ovipositor with second valvulae each broadened throughout length 
beyond basal curvature, with regular angular teeth on dorsal margin ex- 
tending almost to apex, apex rounded, apicoventral margin with very fine 
denticulations. Pygofer with few anteapical macrosetae and few on and near 
posteroventral margin.
