CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 263 
Male genitalia: Pygofer strongly produced posteriorly, narrowly rounded 
posterodorsally, with a number of macrosetae on posterior half; pygofer pro- 
cesses absent. Plates short, triangular, abruptly narrowed anteapically, not ex- 
tending posteriorly nearly as far as pygofer apex, each with uniseriate 
macrosetae. Style extending posteriorly beyond apex of connective, with a 
conspicuous preapical lobe, acute apically. Aedeagus short, shaft subovate in 
lateral view, without processes. Paraphyses long-stalked, the rami asym- 
metrical. 
Female unknown. 
Eldarbala is known only from Peru. The relationship of this genus to other 
Western Hemisphere genera isn’t clear. The area of flexion in the middle por- 
tion of the pygofer on each side (fig. 212c) considered with the incomplete 
dorsopleural carinae of the thorax are suggestive of some Old World genera. 
These features, and the acute apex of the head will separate Eldarbala readily 
from other genera included here. 
Eldarbala scrutator, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 212 
Structural characters as in generic description, and with a membranous 
area of flexion on male pygofer extending from its basiventral angle 
posterodorsally to middle of disk where it branches, one arm extending dor- 
sally, the other posteroventrally. 
Color of dorsum black with following greenish yellow markings; antero- 
lateral margins, apex, a median stripe and a small curved spot on basal 
margin on each side of crown; a narrow median stripe on posterior two-thirds 
and a broader diagonal stripe on each side of pronotum; a short median 
apical stripe on scutellum; and the longitudinal veins of the forewings before 
the apical cells. Face yellow with a broad black stripe on each side below eye, 
converging at clypellar apex; propleura yellow marked with black; legs 
stramineous. 
Holotype male, Pucara, March 29, 1967, ‘‘S. Paz, Lomas’’; and one ad- 
ditional male, La Florida, May 6, 1967 (C. Korytkowski) (USNM). 
Of the several localities called ‘‘Pucara”’ in Peru, this is probably the one in 
Puno Province.
