CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 269 
Paromenia lugubris, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 230, PAGE 283 
Length of male 11.5 mm, of female 11.6 mm. Head with median length of 
crown equal to or slightly greater than one-half interocular width and one- 
third transocular width, anterior margin without a carina at transition from 
crown to face, without a transverse concavity before ocelli, lateral clypeal 
sutures attaining ocelli; antennal ledges with anterior margins obliquely con- 
vex in lateral view; face strongly convex, muscle impressions not very distinct. 
Pronotum with hind margin slightly convex; forewing without a membrane, 
translucent, the veins occasionally darkened, without an anteapical plexus of 
veins; first hind tarsomere with length approximately equal to combined 
length of second and third tarsomeres. Male with pygofer not strongly 
produced, posterior margin broadly rounded, macrosetae irregularly arranged 
in a narrow anteapical group extending from dorsal to ventral margin, 
without processes; plates triangular, not extending as far posteriorly as 
pygofer apex, with macrosetae serially arranged; style much less broadly ex- 
panded at apex than usual in the genus; connective a transverse bar with a 
weak median carina; aedeagus with shaft slender, with a short apical process 
which is not median. Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin 
nearly transverse, with a narrow, shallow median excision. Other structural 
characters as in generic description. 
Color dull brown, posterior two-thirds of pronotal disk, a claval spot adjoin- 
ing each basal scutellar angle and apical portion of scutellum yellow; apical 
portion of posterior tibiae and posterior tarsomeres black. 
Holotype male labeled: ‘“‘Venezuela Exp.; Territ. Amazonas; Mt. Mara- 
huaca, N. Slopes, Benitez; Camp, May 1-25, 1950” (J. Maldonado Capriles) 
and one female, same data (USNM). 
P lugubris, n. sp., is closely related to P. auroguttata (Signoret) from which it 
may be distinguished readily by its style apex which is less expanded and the 
carina of the connective which is less pronounced than in auroguttata. The 
apical aedeagal process is also shorter and more asymmetrical than in 
auroguttata. 
Paromenia weyrauchi, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 231, PAGE 283 
Length of male 12.5-13.3 mm, of female 13.6 mm. Head with median 
length of crown varying from less than six-tenths to slightly greater than six- 
tenths interocular width, and from slightly less than four-tenths to slightly 
greater than four-tenths transocular width, with a slight transverse concavity 
before ocelli. Pronotum with posterior margin varying from slightly convex to 
slightly concave; forewing without a membrane, opaque, the veins not 
darkened, without an anteapical plexus of veins; first posterior tarsomere with 
length slightly greater than combined length of two more distal tarsomeres. 
Male with pygofer moderately produced, posterodorsal margin narrowly
