CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 333 
P. ryma, n. sp., may be distinguished quickly from other species in the genus 
by the distinctive form of the styles and connective, and externally by the 
male plates, which begin to narrow farther from their bases than in other 
species of the genus. 
Pachitea jezima, NEW SPECIES 
FIGURE 269 
Length of male 9.7-10.1 mm, of female 10.4-10.7 mm. Head with median 
length of crown varying from very slightly less than interocular width to 
almost one-fifth greater than interocular width; length from two-thirds to 
slightly more than seven-tenths transocular width; clypellus with muscle im- 
pressions distinct, transclypeal suture obsolete medially. Pronotal width equal 
to transocular width of head. Male plates narrowed before midlength; style 
extending posteriorly as far as apex of connective, with a strong preapical lobe 
and with apical one-third strongly curved; connective much longer and 
markedly larger than in P. ryma, n. sp., much as in P. habenula (Jacobi); 
aedeagus with apical lobe longer than in other species in genus; paraphyses 
with stalk not longer than the pair of rami. Female abdominal sternum VII 
with median produced portion longer and more slender than in subflava 
(Walker) (fig. 2672) but not nearly as strongly produced as in habenula 
(Jacobi) (fig. 2667). 
Color of dorsum including forewings black with markings ivory to 
yellowish-ivory, with the pair of costal anteapical markings present as in ryma 
(above) and as in other species of the genus, but closer together, being 
separated from each other by a space less than the width of the more an- 
terior pale marking, remainder of forewing black and unmarked or with trans- 
commissural ivory markings in basal half and at apex of clavus, the former 
not extending laterally beyond claval suture, the latter extending slightly into 
corium, face and venter as in ryma. 
Holotype male and one additional male, Huallaga River Valley, 500 m. 
above sea level, Hudnuco (province), Peru, March 1954 (F. L. Woytkowski) 
(NCS). Three males and one female, Monsén Valley, Tingo Maria, Peru, 
September 23, 1954 (E. I. Schlinger and E. S. Ross); one female, same data 
as preceding except date which is October 8, 1954 (CAS). One female, Tingo 
Maria, September 10, 1944 (E. J. Hambleton); one male and two females, 
Tingo Maria, Hudnuco Province, June 23, 1962 (W. T. Van Velsen) 
(USNM). One male, Madre de Dios, S. O. [southeast] Peru, “187” (ZIL). 
Holotype on indefinite loan to USNM. 
P. jezima, n. sp., is more closely related to the type-species, P. habenula 
(Jacobi) than to other species in the genus. Externally, jegema can be 
separated from habenula and ryma by the narrowness of the dark area that 
separates its two anteapical costal markings on each forewing. In habenula and 
ryma the space is wider than the more anterior of the markings. The female of 
jezima has the abdominal sternum VII much less strongly produced than in 
habenula. The shape of the aedeagus of jezima (fig. 269f) differs slightly from 
that of Aabenula.
