CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 747 
Thorax with pronotal width approximately equal to transocular width of 
head, lateral margins slightly convergent anteriorly, dorsopleural carinae com- 
plete and slightly oblique, posterior pronotal margin very slightly concave, 
disk of pronotum and posterior portion of scutellum without sculpturing. 
Forewing with inner two apical cells membranous, veins not distinct, with 
four apical cells and base of fourth more proximal than base of third, without 
an anteapical plexus of veins, texture opaque, wings of female at rest ex- 
ceeding apex of ovipositor. Hindleg with femoral setal formula 2:1:1; first tar- 
somere with length greater than combined length of second and third, with 
two rows of small microsetae. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer moderately produced, regularly convex apically, 
with a number of macrosetae on upper portion of posterior half, without 
processes. Plates extending posteriorly as far as pygofer apex, slender, 
triangular, with short uniseriate macrosetae. Style short, extending posteriorly 
as far as apex of connective, narrowed apically and with apex acute. Connec- 
tive V-shaped, with a median keel. Aedeagus short, broad, convexly rounded 
apically, without processes. Paraphyses consisting of a broad transverse basal 
piece and two slender convergent rami. 
Female abdominal sternum VII moderately produced, posterior margin 
slightly convex on each side of a slight median concavity. Genital chamber 
with two weakly sclerotized areas on dorsal wall. Ovipositor with second 
valvulae broadened only in apical third, the broad portion bearing weak con- 
vex primary teeth each bearing minute secondaries, with posterodorsal and 
posteroventral anteapical denticles. Pygofer with numerous macrosetae of 
mixed size on posterior half and extending anteroventrally along posteroven- 
tral margin. | 
Nannogonalia, new genus, is known only from the type-species, from Brazil, 
and probably restricted to southern Brazil. It is a handsome species, with a 
yellow head and pronotum and the dark band at the base of the crown con- 
tinuing completely around the face. The forewings are castaneous with yellow 
markings: an oblique spot in basal half crossing the claval suture, a curved 
transverse band across the claval apex and a spot across the bases of the outer 
apical cells. 
I have placed Nannogonalia close to Pawiloma, new genus. The male plates 
are longer in relation to the pygofer apex in Nannogonalia, and the reduced 
toothed area of the second valvula of the ovipositor is distinctive.
