CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 261 
processes absent. Plates short, triangular, gradually tapered, not extending 
posteriorly as far as pygofer apex, each with uniseriate macrosetae. Style ex- 
tending posteriorly beyond apex of connective, with preapical lobe, narrowly 
rounded apically. Aedeagus short, broad, gonopore anteapical and ventral. 
Paraphyses short-stalked, the rami not extending to apex of aedeagus. 
Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin regularly and 
shallowly concave. Genital chamber with a pair of small sclerites near 
gonopore. Ovipositor with second valvulae each bearing primary teeth dor- 
sally in approximately three-fourths distance beyond basal curvature, teeth 
broader at base, progressively narrower apically, all of the teeth with second- 
ary denticles, apex acute, ventral margin convex in apical half. Pygofer blunt- 
ly rounded posterodorsally, with short macrosetae near apical and postero- 
ventral margins (the pygofer and second valvula are much as in the illustra- 
tions of Vidanoana, new genus (figs. 8747 and 874k), except that the apex of the 
latter is blunter, like the apex illustrated for Helocharina gay: (Spinola) (fig. 
498m); the apex of the seventh sternum is like the illustration of Versigonalva 
ruficauda (Walker) (fig. 8817)). 
I have placed Hanshumba, new genus, near Eldarbala, new genus, the only 
species of which is somewhat similarly marked, but the relationship is not 
close. In males of EF. scrutator, the head is more acute, the plates are shorter, 
the styles are prominently lobed anteapically, and the paraphyses are asym- 
metrical, all of which differ from Hanshumba. Females of Eldarbala are not 
known.

FiGuRE 211 
Structural characters as in generic description. Crown black with irregular 
yellow, mostly longitudinal, vermiculations; pronotum mottled black and 
yellow with the pattern usually transverse; scutellum yellow and black, con- 
sistently with a black triangular spot on basal marginal area near outer basal 
angle, and a yellow border on posterior half; forewings yellow and black from 
bases to apical cells, longitudinal veins of corium black, remainder spotted 
and vermiculate with yellow; face, legs, and propleura yellow except a dark 
spot below dorsopleural carina on proepimeron. 
Holotype male and one female, Hansa Humboldt, Santa Catharina, Brazil, 
50° W. longitude, 26° S. latitude, 100 m, February, 1930 (BM). Two females, 
Hansa, Brazil (ZIL). One female, Brazil (Museo La Plata).
