CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 213 
Paromenia signata, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 223, PAGE 276 
Length of male 11.2-11.4 mm, of female 11.7-11.9 mm. Head with median 
length of crown slightly more than half interocular width and approximately 
four-tenths transocular width, with a slight transverse concavity before ocelli, 
lateral clypeal sutures usually not attaining ocelli; face with muscle impres- 
sions distinct. Forewing with appendix and extreme apical portion of inner 
two apical cells membranous; first hind tarsomere with length slightly greater 
than combined length of second and third tarsomeres. Male with pygofer 
moderately produced, posterior margin rounded, without processes, 
macrosetae irregularly arranged in a broad apical area; style with apex nar- 
rowly rounded, not expanded; aedeagus elongate, slender, with a short semi- 
membranous somewhat digitate dorsal process on basal half of shaft, with a 
pair of asymmetrical apical processes, one of which is much longer than the 
other. Other structural characters of both sexes as in P. lugubris, n. sp. 
Color of dorsum varying from dull brown to golden yellow, with a pink 
marking before apex of inner two apical cells of forewing, face and venter 
usually concolorous with dorsum, apical portions of posterior tibiae and tarsi 
occasionally darker. 
Holotype male, Maroni River, French Guiana on indefinite loan to USNM 
from NCS. A large number of additional specimens of both sexes from French 
Guiana (NCS). Four specimens from British Guiana (BM). Three specimens, 
St. Jean, Fr. Guiana (USNM). 
Externally, Paromenia signata, n. sp., resembles P. sordida (Signoret) in size 
and color. It can usually be distinguished externally from the latter by the 
larger yellow area of the pronotum which is a narrower marginal band in the 
Signoret species. In the characters of the male genitalia, signata differs from all 
other species in the genus in the style apices which are gradually narrowed to 
narrowly convex apices. 
Paromenia venata, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 222, PAGE 276 
Length of male 14.3-15.0 mm, of female 14.1-15.0 mm. Head with median 
length of crown equal to approximately six-tenths interocular width in male, 
slightly more than six-tenths interocular width in female, and from four-tenths 
(male) to slightly more than four-tenths (female) transocular width, crown 
with or without a transverse concavity before ocelli, lateral clypeal sutures at- 
taining ocelli or not; face with muscle impressions distinct. Pronotum with 
hind margin convex or concave; forewing without a membrane, translucent, 
with an anteapical plexus of veins in both clavus and corium; first hind tar- 
somere with length greater than combined length of second and third tar- 
someres. Male with pygofer well produced, with a dorsoapical undifferentially 
sclerotized lobe, posterior margin broadly rounded, macrosetae rather uni- 
formly arranged in apical third; style foot-shaped apically; connective a trans- 
verse bar with a strong median carina; aedeagus in lateral aspect with a large
