CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 279 
and slightly more than one-third transocular width, with a slight transverse 
concavity before ocelli, lateral clypeal sutures usually attaining ocelli. 
Pronotum with hind margin varying from slightly convex to slightly concave; 
forewing without a membrane, opaque, the veins darkened or not, without an 
anteapical plexus of veins; first hind tarsomere with length slightly greater 
than combined length of second and third tarsomeres. Male with pygofer 
moderately produced, posterodorsal margin narrowly rounded, macrosetae 
irregularly arranged in an oblique band on apical third of disk, pygofer with 
processes which are concealed by surface of pygofer in lateral aspect; plates 
slender and triangular, not extending as far posteriorly as pygofer apex, with 
macrosetae serially arranged; style moderately expanded at apex; connective 
cordate, with a strong median carina; aedeagus broadest in basal half, 
narrowed before apex which is trilobed with none of the lobes differentially 
sclerotized. Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin convex with 
a very slight median emargination. Other structural characters as in P. 
lugubris, n. sp. 
Color of dorsum varying from amber to pale yellow, with posterior two- 
thirds of scutellum paler, entirely maculate with dark red in amber specimens, 
with darker yellow in yellow specimens; color of venter and legs varying from 
yellowish-orange through yellow to dark brown. 
Holotype male, Balzapamba, Ecuador, May 22, 1938, 700 meters (W. 
Clark-Macintyre) and seven additional specimens from same locality (NCS). 
Additional specimens have been examined from Playas and from Chimbo, 
Ecuador. Holotype on indefinite loan to USNM. 
P. maculosa, n. sp., is closely related to P. isabellina (Fowler) from which it 
may be distinguished by the shorter pygofer process which in lateral view is 
concealed by the pygofer, and by the trilobate apex of the aedeagus.

Length of male 13.3-13.5 mm, of female 13.0 mm. Head with median 
length of crown more than half interocular width and slightly more than one- 
third transocular width, with a transverse concavity before ocelli, lateral 
clypeal sutures attaining ocelli or not; face with muscle impressions distinct. 
Pronotum with hind margin rectilinear or slightly concave; forewing mem- 
brane including only apical portions of apical cells, texture translucent; first 
hind tarsomere with length slightly greater than combined length of second 
and third tarsomeres. Male with pygofer moderately produced, with posterior 
margin narrowly rounded, macrosetae fairly numerous, irregularly distributed 
on apical half, with a process arising along dorsal margin, free at its apex, 
with a short spinelike anteapical branch, apex acute; plates triangular, 
abruptly narrowed before midlength, not extending as far posteriorly as 
pygofer apex, with macrosetae serially arranged; style very short, very broad 
at apex, apical margin with a slight concavity; connective almost a transverse 
bar, with a strong median carina; aedeagus in lateral view with anterior 
margin strongly convex, posterior margin concave, with a slender, median,
