CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 607 
notably from Helochara in that the central anteapical cell of the forewing is 
open basally. It belongs unquestionably to the group of genera related to 
Cicadella Latreille. It may be closely allied to Helocharina Melichar, also (see 
discussion of that genus). 
A series of specimens of S. punctatissima (Signoret), taken on Pangola grass 
in Sao Carlos, Brazil, were sent to me by Eng®. Max de Menezes. I have ex- 
amined a series of S. punctatissima (Signoret) from Cochabamba, Bolivia, 
collected on wheat by B. A. Haws, of the USAID program in Bolivia. 
My identification of S. argentina (Berg) is based on a specimen from the 
Berg collection in Museo La Plata, Argentina, labeled with the specific name 
and ‘‘copiada”’. My interpretation of Tettigonia linea Taschenberg is based on a 
study of the holotype (undoubtedly a female, although the abdomen was miss- 
ing) and a later study of specimens from the Moravian Museum in Brno and 
from the U. S. National Museum which agree closely with my illustration of 
the holotype. 
My identification of S. lineiceps (Spinola) is based on a photograph of one 
of the two specimens in the Spinola collection in Tassarolo Castle, Italy. I am 
greatly indebted to Dr. Carlo Vidano for sending the photo. I have studied 
numerous specimens from Chile agreeing with the photograph. Ball 
(1901e:65) illustrated a specimen of Graphocephala rufimargo (Walker) as 
linetceps. 
My interpretation of Tettigonia punctatissima Signoret rests on an examina- 
tion, and drawing, of the holotype in the Naturhistorisches Museum in 
Vienna. The genitalia of this female were too covered with mold to illustrate, 
but the illustrations of the head have been sufficient to identify the species.
