CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 759 
Male genitalia: Pygofer moderately produced, posterior margin broadly 
convex, with chaetotaxy varying interspecifically. Plates triangular, extending 
posteriorly as far as pygofer apex, with chaetotaxy varying interspecifically. 
Style extending posteriorly as far as apex of connective, with a lateral lobe 
near midlength of shaft, apex convex or truncate. Connective Y- or T-shaped. 
Aedeagus short, without processes, shaft decurved or not, paraphyses short- 
stalked with rami slender, elongate, tapering. 
Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin varying interspeci- 
fically from truncate to produced and gradually tapered. Dorsal membrane of 
genital chamber with a median sclerite or with none. Ovipositor with second 
valvula toothed throughout portion beyond basal curvature, teeth varying 
from broad and very few in number (S. vulnerata (Signoret)), to relatively 
much narrower and numerous, apex narrowly rounded. Pygofer narrowly 
rounded posterodorsally and with a number of submarginal macrosetae 
parallel to posterior and posteroventral margin. 
S. infulata (Fowler) and S. vulnerata are banded longitudinally with black. 
Sisimitalia ranges from southern Mexico to Colombia. I have placed it near 
Sibovia China because of similarities in both male and female genitalia, but 
the relationship probably isn’t close. Species of Sisimitalia have one or two of 
the innermost anteapical cells open basally, in contrast to the closed an- 
teapical cells of Szbovia. 
Although I have seen the female lectotype, my identification of Tettigonia in- 
fulata Fowler is based chiefly on specimens compared with the original il- 
lustration. Tettigonia rubricollis Fowler is known to me only from the lectotype 
(fig. 620). 
I have not seen specimens of Tettigonia vulnerata Signoret from the type- 
series. My identification of this species agrees with the original illustration.
