CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 897 
more distal tarsomeres. Male pygofer with posterodorsal margin much more 
elongate than in other species of Graphocephala, with macrosetae of varying 
sizes on posterior half, without processes; plates not extending as far 
posteriorly as pygofer apex, each with multiseriate macrosetae; style not ex- 
tending posteriorly beyond apex of connective; aedeagal shaft of moderate 
length, without processes; paraphyses consisting of a basis and two rami of 
almost equal width and length, extending dorsally and slightly anteriorly. 
Female abdominal sternum VII moderately produced posteriorly and round- 
ed apically; pygofer and second valvula of ovipositor very much like illustra- 
tion of G. hieroglyphica (Say) (fig. 724). 
Head dull yellowish-green with at least apical spot and a pair of parallel 
lines near median line, black, with variable additional black markings, oc- 
casionally with a median inverted anchor-shaped pattern outlined in black; 
pronotum with a broad anterior marginal band concolorous with crown, disk 
dark green. Scutellum concolorous with crown, with transverse sulcus dark 
and occasionally with a narrow dark line extending forward from each ex- 
tremity; forewings dark green, membrane variable but at least including all of 
inner apical cell. Clypeus and clypellus varying from completely black (most 
males) to black marked with yellow or yellow marked with black, genae, lora, 
and thoracic pleura yellow and black in variable proportions, thoracic sterna 
black, legs mostly sordid yellow, or black near base; abdomen of male 
variable, yellow to black, male plates with at least their apical portions black; 
abdomen of female usually dull yellow. 
Holotype and two additional males and one female, ‘‘Yepocapa”’, 
Guatemala, August 1949 (H. T. Dalmat); all other specimens, same data ex- 
cept date: one female, May 1948; one male, two females, June, 1948; two 
males, two females, August, 1948; two males, one female, September, 1948; 
two males, two females, October, 1948; five males, three females, December, 
1948 (USNM). The locality is presumably San Pedro Yepocapa in 
Chimaltenango Province. 
A series of specimens of both sexes from Antigua, Guatemala (USNM) was 
received after the above was written. 
G. alagarta, n. sp., is similar to G. rufimargo (Walker) and a number of other 
species, from all of which it may be separated externally by its more robust 
form, but more reliably by the shape of the posterior margin of the pygofer 
which is unlike any of the other fairly similar species.

Length of male 4.7-5.2 mm, of female 6.1-6.2 mm. Head well produced, 
median length of crown varying from six-tenths to eight-tenths interocular 
width, and from slightly more than one-third to one-half transocular width, 
ocelli located slightly behind a line between anterior eye angles, and each ap- 
proximately equidistant from median line and adjacent anterior eye angle, 
surface with lenticular impressions on disk between ocelli and back to basal 
margin, irregularly and obscurely rugose elsewhere; antennal ledges oblique
