CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 739 
P. peristicta, n. sp., is very closely related to multilunatula, from which it may 
be distinguished by the presence of the pygofer process in the male and by the 
different setal pattern of the pygofer. The plates of multilunatula have a promi- 
nent dorsal angularity which is smaller and located more proximally in 
peristicta. | cannot separate the species without dissection.

FIGURE 603, PAGE 740 
Length 9.3-9.5 mm. Head with median length of crown varying from 
slightly less than one-half to almost six-tenths interocular width and from one- 
third to almost four-tenths transocular width. Pronotum with width equal to 
or greater than transocular width of head, lateral margins convergent an- 
teriorly, dorsopleural carinae complete, disk not sculptured, scutellum not 
rugose; forewing with apical membrane distinct, including all of apical cells 
and small apical portions of inner two anteapical cells, veins not very distinct. 
Pygofer short, posterior margin with a concavity, without processes, 
macrosetae numerous, of several sizes; plates short, each with an angular pro- 
tuberance beyond midlength; style extending posteriorly much beyond apex of 
connective, without a preapical lobe, apex tapered and narrowly rounded; 
connective short Y-shaped, with arms not very widely divergent; aedeagus 
symmetrical, with a pair of near-apical widely diverging processes; paraphyses 
with rami slender, elongate, tapering to acute apices, widely separated at 
base. Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin truncate. 
Crown and pronotum sordid yellow to dull whitish; scutellum yellow with 
basal angles usually purple; forewings purple with three large spots on each 
wing, the anteriormost extending across brachial cell and including part of 
basal half of clavus, the middle one on corium opposite apical half of clavus 
(holotype) or extending across claval suture and including part of clavus, the 
apical spot narrower and extending across a portion of the anteapical cells; 
face, thoracic pleura, and wings, yellow. 
Holotype male and one female, Colombia, 1942 and 1941 respectively (L. 
Richter) (NCS). One female, Bogota, Colombia (RMS). One female, E. 
Mérida, Acequias, Venezuela, 8000 ft. October 16, 1938 (J. Hanbury Tracey), 
BM 1939-117; and one female, Mérida, Rio ‘‘Albaregas’’, Venezuela, 8000 ft., 
February 9. 1939 (J. Hanbury Tracy [sic]), BM, 1939-270 (BM). Holotype on 
indefinite loan to USNM. 
The large spots on the forewing, although variable in size, are distinctive for 
P. paramoena, n. sp. The emarginate posterior pygofer margin will separate the 
males from those of P. festiva (Melichar) to which paramoena is closer than to 
other species in the genus.
