CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 473 
margins varying ‘intraspecifically from oblique and slightly convex to almost 
vertical and rectilinear; clypeus convex medially, muscle impressions distinct 
or not, transclypeal suture obsolete medially, clypellus with profile continuing 
contour of clypeus. 
Thorax with pronotal width equal to or greater than transocular width of 
head, lateral margins convergent anteriorly, dorsopleural carinae complete, 
posterior margin varying from slightly concave to rectilinear, disk with or 
without weak rugae; scutellum transversely rugose or not behind transverse 
sulcus. Forewing without a distinct membrane, with three closed anteapical 
cells of which the bases are proximal or distal (S$. flavolineata (Signoret)) to 
claval apex and four apical cells of which base of fourth is more proximal 
than base of third (venation obscure in flavolineata), without an anteapical 
plexus of veins, texture varying from translucent to coriaceous (flavolineata); 
forewings of female in repose exceeding apex of ovipositor. Hindleg with 
femoral setal formula 2:1:1, length of first tarsomere greater than combined 
length of two more distal tarsomeres and with two parallel rows of small setae 
on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer not strongly produced, posterior margin varying 
from broadly convex to subtruncate, with macrosetae varying from sparse to 
dense, on posterior half, without processes. Plates fused basally, triangular, 
tapering gradually, not extending posteriorly as far as pygofer apex, with uni- 
seriate macrosetae. Style extending posteriorly as far as or farther than apex 
of connective, preapical lobe distinct, apex varying from truncate to narrowly 
rounded at apex. Connective narrowly Y-shaped. Paraphyses present, very 
short-stalked, with two or four rami arising near base (exception: S. monacha 
(Melichar)). Aedeagus very short (exception: S. flavoornata (Stal)), very broad 
in lateral view (exception: monacha), with or without a pair of dorsoapical 
processes. 
Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin convex or shallowly 
concave. Ovipositor with second valvula convex on dorsal margin and bearing 
teeth throughout portion beyond basal curvature, the primaries bearing 
secondary denticles, ventral margin rectilinear (S. flavolineata (Signoret)) or 
slightly concave (S. ignicolor (Signoret)), apex of second valvula and pygofer as 
in illustration of Juliaca pedisequula (Jacobi) (fig. 374) (this description of 
ovipositor and pygofer based on a study of ignicolor and flavolineata). 
Species of Subrasaca vary from somber gray to bright green with red, yellow, 
or black markings. ’ 
Subrasaca, new genus, occurs only in southern Brazil and Argentina. It is 
related to Juliaca Melichar from which it may be distinguished by the shorter, 
broader aedeagus, and the preapical lobe of the style in the males, and by the 
(usually) concave posterior margin of abdominal sternum VII in the females. 
My identification of Tettigonia flavolineata Signoret and of 7. curvovittata Stal 
are based on a study of the female lectotypes of these nominal species. 
I have studied only the lectotype of Tettigonia flavoornata Stal (fig. 390). It 
was not at hand when the above generic description was written. 
The present interpretation of Tettigonia ignicolor Signoret is based on the 
original illustration. The only specimen I found in the Signoret collection in
