CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 565 
specimens exceeding apex of aedeagus; paraphyses consisting of a very short 
basal unpaired portion and two arms each of which is once-branched, the 
branches being very short and broad. 
Crown with lateral margins of median black vitta strongly convergent an- 
teriorly, the median vitta at posterior margin of head with width approxi- 
mately equal to combined widths of yellow vittae which separate it from the 
anteocular black vitta on each side; the pale vittae extending posteriorly over 
pronotum, often becoming pale green on posterior portion of pronotum, to in- 
clude basal scutellar angles and to unite with claval vitta (see generic descrip- 
tion) which may be yellow or green; corial pale (yellow or green) vitta not ex- 
tending anteriorly as far as axillary sclerites; transverse anteapical band 
usually not interrupted, extending from costal margin into inner apical cell, 
midcostal area amber; face with black anteocular band usually extending 
across anterior margin of antennal ledge and becoming evanescent; face, ven- 
ter, and legs, yellow, dorsal portion of thoracic pleura black and continuous 
with black lateral pronotal band. 
Holotype and one additional male and one female, Rancho Grande, 
Aragua, Venezuela, March 5, 1939 (C. H. Ballou); one male and one female, 
same locality, 1100 m., July 11 and July 12, 1968 (J. Maldonado Capriles); 
one female, same locality, August 22-31, 1967, 1100 m. (R. W. Poole); one 
male and two females, same locality, 1100 m., February 15, 1969 (Peendar. 
Spangler); two males and one female, San Esteban, Venezuela, November 22- 
30, 1939 (P. Anduze); two males and two females, on Vernonia sp., 20 km., 
Petare-Sta. Lucia [Road?], Venezuela, April 13, 1969 (C. H. Ballou) (all 
USNM). One male and one specimen without abdomen, Rancho Grande, 
Aragua, National Park, Venezuela, 1100 m., March 4, 1967 (Henry Pittier 
and M. E. Irwin) (Riverside). Eight males and three females, Rancho 
Grande, Venezuela, March 24, 25, 27 and 28, 1946 (Bronz Zoo). 
The slender aedeagus, in lateral view, with its processes, and the short dis- 
tinctive paraphyses will separate F. epacra, n. sp., from other species in the 
genus. 
Fusigonalia caucaensis, NEW SPECIES 
FicurE 464, PAGE 566 
Length of male 7.0 mm, female unknown. Head with median length of 
crown approximately seven-tenths interocular width and slightly less than 
one-half transocular width, antennal ledges in lateral view with anterior 
margins convex. Thorax with pronotal width less than transocular width of 
head. Male plates more slender than usual in genus and with uniseriate 
macrosetae; style extending posteriorly much farther than connective, which is 
very short Y-shaped, style narrowly rounded at apex; aedeagus slender and 
bisinuous in lateral view, extending posteriorly, with a pair of short slender 
tapering processes arising above bases of dorsal apodemes and extending 
parallel to shaft. Paraphyses with rami slender, elongate, extending posteriorly 
almost as far as apex of shaft.
