throughout its length almost to apex; with preapical posteroventral small den- 
ticles; apex broadly rounded. Pygofer acute apically, with irregularly ar- 
ranged setae parallel to posteroventral margin. 
Species of Sailerana, new genus, are pale orange to yellow with an apical 
black spot on the crown, a median pronotal dark spot, transverse or oblique 
narrow black to brown bands on the forewings in rest position, and a narrow 
black line on the anterior tibiae. 
Sailerana occurs in Trinidad Island; French and British Guiana; Para, 
Brazil; the Amazon Valley in Brazil; Colombia; and Peru. I have placed it 
near Melichar’s Parathona, Tacora, and Baleja mostly because of similarity of 
the female genitalia. In general appearance, species are similar to some 
species of Parathona, but the shaft of the aedeagus is arched dorsad, instead of 
caudad as in Parathona. Species of Sailerana are smaller (length up to 9.5 mm) 
than Tacora (at least 12.4 mm), are less strikingly colored, and lack the red 
spot on the base of the jugum of the hindwing. 
Although I have studied and made drawings of the female lectotype of 
Cardioscarta multiplicator Melichar, I’m not certain that the male illustrated here 
(fig. 256) is correctly identified. It is the only male with a typical color pat- 
tern I have seen from eastern Brazil, but it seems probable that the aedeagus 
is abnormal. A male specimen determined by Melichar in the Hungarian 
Natural History Museum, from Pachitea, Peru belongs to a different species 
that is not described here. It differs from the other species in having a ramose 
pygofer process. 
Tettigonia peruviana Signoret is placed in synonymy here under solitaris 
Signoret, on the basis of a study and dissection of the male lectotype of 
peruviana. These agreed well with figures 252g, qg, s, and ¢. The original il- 
lustration of solitaris is a variety of a variable species to which typically colored 
peruviana also belongs. The lectotype of Strictogonia projecta Melichar is without 
an abdomen. I place this nominal species in synonymy with solitaris because 
my sketch of the lectotype is close to specimens of solitars except for the 
abruptly narrowed anterior portion of the pronotum. It is not congeneric with 
Cicada unifasciata Fabricius. 
Sailerana, new genus, is named in honor of Dr. Reece I. Sailer whose efforts 
have contributed much to our knowledge of entomology and to the efforts of 
other entomologists in this generation. His aid after a serious automobile ac- 
cident in France in the course of the present study contributed directly to my 
ability to complete the work.
