CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW. WORLD CICADELLINI 801 
109. MACUNOLLA, NEw GENus 
FicurEs 647, 648 
Type-species: Tettigonia ventralis Signoret. 
Length of male 6.0-6.4 mm, of female 5.8-6.5 mm. 
Head moderately produced, median length of crown from slightly more 
than one-half to slightly more than six-tenths interocular width and from 
slightly more than one-third to more than four-tenths transocular width, an- 
terior margin narrowly rounded in dorsal view, without a carina at transition 
from crown to face, ocelli located before a line between anterior eye angles, 
each usually slightly closer to adjacent anterior eye angle than to median line 
of crown, crown with a slight transverse concavity before ocelli, without a me- 
dian fovea and without sculpturing or setae, lateral clypeal sutures extending 
onto crown and attaining ocelli; antennal ledges not protuberant, in lateral 
view with anterior margins convex and oblique; clypeus broadly convex except 
flattened medioventral portion, muscle impressions distinct, face without 
pubescence, transclypeal suture either entire or interrupted medially, clypellus 
with contour continuing profile of clypeus. 
Thorax with pronotal width less than transocular width of head, lateral 
margins parallel, dorsopleural carinae complete, posterior margin concave, 
disk with a broad transverse punctate area across middle; scutellum not 
rugose behind transverse sulcus. Forewing with membrane including only in- 
ner apical cell, veins not very distinct, not elevated, with four apical cells and 
base of fourth more proximal than base of third, without an anteapical plexus 
of veins, texture translucent and without sculpturing; forewings of female in 
rest position exceeding apex of ovipositor. Hindleg with femoral setal formula 
2:1:1; length of first tarsomere greater than combined length of two more dis- 
tal tarsomeres and with two parallel rows of small setae on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer short, posterior margin broadly rounded, with a 
short process on caudoventral margin, with macrosetae of varied sizes on 
posterior half of disk. Plates not extending nearly as far posteriorly as pygofer 
apex. Style extending posteriorly beyond apex of connective, without a distinct 
preapical lobe. Connective Y-shaped, keeled. Aedeagus asymmetrical, shaft 
with or without processes. Paraphyses asymmetrical. 
Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin strongly produced 
and gradually narrowed posteriorly to apex which is rounded or obtusely 
angulate. Dorsal membrane of genital chamber sclerotized or not (variable 
interspecifically). Ovipositor with second valvulae each expanded beyond 
basal curvature and with quadrate primary teeth, each of which bears minute 
denticles, extending almost to apex of dorsal margin, apex acute, dorsoapical 
and ventroapical margins without denticles. 
Specimens of Macunolla have been studied from southern Mexico, British 
Honduras and Guatemala to Colombia and Ecuador. 
The male genitalia are somewhat similar to those of Nielsonia, n. gen., but 
the pygofer differs from most Nielsonia, and the orange color of Macunolla will 
serve to distinguish it from Nielsonia.
