CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 259 
Specimens belonging to Sphaeropogonia occur in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. 
I have been unable to suggest close relationships between this genus and 
others. 
The male and female genitalia of species of Sphaeropogonia are closely similar 
interspecifically, only S. facula Breddin differing from the other species in 
enough genitalic features to make these structures useful for identification of 
species, as the latter are interpreted here. For this reason, and because series 
available have been short, a dark-winged form which differs externally slight- 
ly from the orange-winged S. miniatula Jacobi is not described here.

aureatula Breddin, 1901f:101. Ecuador.
