CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 431 
off), lateral clypeal sutures extending onto crown and attaining ocelli; anten- 
nal ledges slightly protuberant, with anterior margins oblique in dorsal view, 
and bearing a concavity in lateral view, ledges foveate dorsally; face convex, 
finely pubescent, muscle impressions distinct; transclypeal suture obscure. 
Thorax with pronotal width slightly less than, equal to, or greater than 
transocular width of head, lateral margins usually slightly convergent an- 
teriorly, dorsopleural carina complete, rectilinear, and slightly oblique, 
posterior margin concave, posterior two-thirds of surface transversely rugose 
and pubescent, occasionally punctate also; scutellum not or only weakly 
striate behind transverse sulcus. Forewing with membrane including all of 
apical cells and part of margin before outer apical cell, and occasionally 
apical portions of anteapical cells, veins elevated and distinct, with four apical 
cells of which base of fourth is more proximal than base of third, without an 
anteapical plexus of veins, texture coriaceous; forewings of female in rest posi- 
tion exceeding ovipositor. Hindleg in rest position with knee not attaining 
posterior proepimeral margin; femoral setal formula 2:0:0; first tarsomere 
with length greater than combined length of second and third tarsomeres, 
with two longitudinal rows of plantar setae. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer not strongy produced, posterior margin regularly 
convex to very irregular, with a number of regularly spaced microsetae cover- 
ing most of surface or only posterior half of surface, with few to many inter- 
spersed macrosetae, without processes. Plates triangular, abruptly narrowed 
in basal half, separate throughout their length, extending posteriorly almost as 
far as apex of pygofer, with numerous microsetae and occasionally with inter- 
spersed macrosetae. Style extending farther posteriorly than apex of connec- 
tive, with a distinct preapical lobe, apex broadly rounded or truncate apically. 
Connective transverse and somewhat crescentiform, widely separating the 
styles, with a strong median keel. Aedeagus symmetrical, with one pair of 
processes arising on or near atrium, and usually with a pair of more distal 
processes arising at sides of shaft near midlength. Paraphyses absent. 
Female abdominal sternum VII either lobate or emarginate medially, shape 
variable interspecifically. Second valvula with dorsal margin broadly expand- 
ed beyond basal curvature and with primary teeth extending completely to 
apex, each bearing smaller secondary teeth, apex broadly rounded, with 
minute denticles on caudoventral margin. Pygofer with numerous microsetae 
on dorsal portion and a few macrosetae anteapically and on apical margin. 
The genus Pamplona occurs in Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, 
and Brazil. It is closely related to Pamplonoidea, new genus (above), but differs 
conspicuously in the texture of the disk of the forewings which is hyaline in 
the middle third in Pamplonoidea, in its larger size, in its less flattened posterior 
tibiae, the carinate lower margin of its proepisternum, and in the absence of 
elongate setae in row 1 of the posterior tibiae. 
Pamplona is somewhat similar to the Proconiini. The posterior tibiae which 
are quadrate in section, the failure of the posterior femoro-tibial joints to at- 
tain the posterior proepimeral margins when at rest, and the pubescent face 
are characters common in Proconiini.
