My interpretation of Dasmeusa flavescens Metcalf is based on an examination 
of the lectotype of Signoret’s Tettigonia lurida which resulted only in verifying 
the generic disposition of the species, which is possibly synonymous with 
Cicada pauperata Fabricius, of which the genitalia of the male lectotype were 
compared with the genitalia illustrations published here (fig. 238).
