CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 807 
Thorax as in Nielsonia. Forewing with membrane including all or almost all 
of apical cells, extending proximally along costal margin or not, with three 
closed anteapical cells, of which the bases of the outer two are proximal to the 
claval apex and the innermost variable in that respect, outermost anteapical 
cell petiolate, middle anteapical cell the longest, texture coriaceous with or 
without weak transverse rugae. Hindleg as in Nielsonia. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer moderately produced, posterior margin varying 
from regularly convex to slightly produced posterodorsally and_ slightly 
angular, with numerous macrosetae on posterior half of disk, occasionally 
with interspersed microsetae, pygofer processes absent. Plates as in Nielsonia, 
but variable in their posterior extent compared with apex of pygofer. Style as 
in Mielsonia. Connective occurring as a transverse bar, or short Y-shaped (AK. 
rosipennis (Osborn)). Aedeagus symmetrical, usually with paired processes (not 
very distinct in rostpennis) occurring basally or at apex of shaft, with or 
without additional processes. Paraphyses usually absent. 
Female unknown. 
Species of Kapateira, have the head, anterior portion of the pronotum and 
the scutellum dull yellow, with the disk of the pronotum and the forewing tan 
to purplish. Some of the species have black pronotal spots like those found in 
Nielsoma, and the size and facies of the species of Kapateira are close to 
Nielsonia. There are apparently four species of Kapateira at hand, and I have 
seen one additional one, but in the four species there is a total of only seven 
specimens. It seems advisable not to describe new species at this time, but I 
have illustrated the genitalia to show the variation within the genus. The only 
nominal species included is the type-species. The species are from Panama, 
Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia. 
Kapateira is closely related to Nielsonia and to Hortensia Metcalf and Bruner, 
in the discussions of which distinguishing characters are treated. 
111. Genus HORTENSIA MeErtTca.F AND BRUNER 
FiGuRES 654-656 
Hortensia Metcalf and Bruner, 1936a:928. Type-species: Tettigonia similis Walker, by 
original designation. 
Length of male 4.0-6.3 mm, of female 4.7-7.7 mm. 
Head moderately produced, median length of crown varying from approx- 
imately one-half to eight-tenths interocular width, and from slightly less than 
three-tenths to one-half transocular width, anterior margin broadly rounded 
in dorsal view, without a carina at transition from crown to face, ocelli located 
before or (usually) on a line between anterior eye angles, each closer to adja- 
cent anterior eye angle than to median line, crown convex and without a 
transverse concavity across ocelli, without a median fovea and without sculp- 
turing or setae, lateral clypeal sutures extending onto crown and attaining 
ocelli; antennal ledges not protuberant, in lateral view with anterior margins 
vertical or slightly oblique, often slightly concave; clypeus convex, muscle 
impressions usually distinct, transclypeal suture entire or obsolete at middle, 
clypellus not strongly produced, its contour continuing profile of clypeus.
