CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 529 
70. SCOPOGONALITA, NEw GENUS 
Ficures 435-442 
Type-species: Tettigonia subolivacea Stal. 
Length 4.8-6.0 mm. 
Head moderately produced, median length of crown from four-tenths to 
two-thirds interocular width and from one-fourth to slightly more than four- 
tenths transocular width, anterior margin broadly rounded in dorsal view, 
without a carina at transition from crown to face, ocelli located behind a line 
between anterior eye angles, each closer to adjacent anterior eye angle than to 
median line of crown, crown convex, usually with a slight transverse concavity 
across ocelli, without a median fovea and without sculpturing or setae, lateral 
clypeal sutures extending onto crown and attaining ocelli; antennal ledges not 
protuberant, in lateral view with anterior margins convex; clypeus convex, 
muscle impressions not distinct, face without pubescence, transclypeal suture 
entire, clypellus not strongly produced, its profile continuing contour of 
clypeus. 
Thorax with pronotal width approximately equal to transocular width of 
crown, lateral margins slightly convergent anteriorly, dorsopleural carinae 
almost always complete, posterior margin shallowly concave, disk without 
punctures and almost always without rugosity, not pubescent; scutellum 
almost always not striate behind transverse sulcus. Forewing hyaline or 
coriaceous with membrane including all of apical cells and extending forward 
along costal margin to basal half of wing, occasionally including apical por- 
tion of anteapical cells, veins distinct or not, with four apical cells, the base of 
the fourth more proximal than base of third, without an anteapical plexus of 
veins, inner two anteapical cells open basally, surface of wing without 
sculpturing; forewings of female in rest position exceeding apex of ovipositor. 
Hindleg with femoral setal formula 2:1:1; length of first tarsomere equal to or 
(most often) greater than combined length of two more distal tarsomeres and 
with two parallel longitudinal rows of small setae on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer moderately produced, narrowly convex postero- 
dorsally, posteroventral margin very broadly convex, with numerous 
macrosetae on posterior-two-thirds of disk, with a slender process arising 
along ventral pygofer margin, extending posteriorly or posterodorsally, ap- 
pearing brushlike at apex (exception: S. golbachi, n. sp.). Plates broadly trian- 
gular, not extending posteriorly nearly as far as pygofer apex, each narrowed 
in its apical half, with macrosetae usually multiseriate near base thence uni- 
seriate to apex. Style without a preapical lobe, not extending nearly as far 
posteriorly as apex of connective. Connective slender, longitudinal, elongate, 
barlike. Aedeagus curved dorsally, with one or more processes. Paraphysis oc- 
curring as a connecting sclerite between apex of connective and base of 
aedeagal shaft, but appearing as a ventral process or processes of aedeagus, 
with a process or pair of rami. 
Female abdominal sternum VII strongly produced posteriorly and gradually 
narrowed, posterior margin usually broadly and shallowly emarginate (excep- 
tions: S. echinura, n. sp. and §. golbachi, n. sp.). Dorsal membrane of genital
