CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 401 
acutangular, and with or without emarginations, keeled medially or not. 
Ovipositor second valvula with broad portion bearing numerous rounded 
quadrate teeth, each of which bears small secondaries, with a short denti- 
culate anteapical and a longer denticulate area below the bluntly rounded 
dorsally-located apex. Pygofer with a number of irregularly arranged anteapical 
macrosetae. 
Eugoma Melichar has line priority over Jragua. Iragua has never had a valid 
specific name associated with it, Evans’ (1947a:162) designation of J. conjuncta 
being a nomen nudum, and a manuscript name of Melichar, and represented 
only by females in the Melichar collection in Brno. Melichar also included the 
species described below as J/ragua perplexa, n. sp., represented by males. These 
are congeneric with Tettigonia diversa Signoret which was chosen (above) as 
type-species of /ragua to obviate future confusion. 
The genus /ragua Melichar is similar in many features to Ladoffa, new 
genus, to which it is probably closely related. Species of Jragua are less 
strikingly marked than those of Ladoffa, and all are larger than species of 
Ladoffa except I. circulifera (Taschenberg). The second apical cell of the fore- 
wing is not strongly narrowed apically, as it is in Ladoffa (exception: J. 
perplexa, n. sp.) and the forewing is broader in its apical half (exception: 
circulifera) than in Ladoffa. The anteapical angle on the mesal margin of the 
style frequently found in Jragua does not occur in Ladoffa. Iragua is similar in 
appearance to Diedrocephala Spinola, but is readily separated from the latter by 
its symmetrical paraphyses in the male, its lack of a carina at transition from 
crown to face, the occurrence of four apical cells in the forewing, and the 
produced sternum VII of the female (emarginate in Diedrocephala). 
The known range of Jragua Melichar is from Costa Rica to Bolivia, 
Trinidad, Venezuela, and northwest Brazil. Species vary in color from very 
dark to orange or pale yellow. 
My interpretation of Tettigonia circulifera (Taschenberg) is based on an ex- 
amination of the holotype. 
I found no specimens, in the Signoret collection in Vienna, suitable for a 
lectotype of Tettigonia diversa Signoret, nor did I find specimens so labeled and 
from French Guiana in any of the collections I studied in Europe. The only 
specimen in Vienna was from Bolivia, and it was smaller than Signoret indi- 
cated in the original illustration. I found a male in MHNP, from Peru, agree- 
ing with the original illustration in both size and color, and have used it as 
the basis for my present identification of duversa. 
The present interpretation of Diedrocephala estella Distant is based on a study 
of a topotypic male compared with the female lectotype. The female lectotype 
of Tettigonia flammea Signoret has been studied. The paler color, as in the 
original illustration, separates this species readily from other species in the 
genus. 
My interpretation of Tettigonia fractilinea Fowler is based on a study of a 
topotypic male compared with the female lectotype. 
The lectotype of Tettigonia notanda Fowler is a female that agrees well with 
the original description but not well with the original illustration. A specimen 
from Panama has been found which agrees with the original illustration. It is
