the syntypes of semiguttata (Signoret). It belongs in dallasi, but the lectotype of 
_semiguttata is not conspecific with this syntype. 
The lectotype of Tettigonia geographica Signoret and two additional specimens 
from HU do not have large pale spots at the base of the clavus and corium of 
‘the forewings, but they appear to be conspecific with a number of specimens 
which do have such spots. 
My interpretation of Tettigonia leucomelas Walker is based on a male, com- 
pared with the holotype in the British Museum. The male agrees well with 
the illustrations published here (fig. 766). I have placed albopunctulata 
(Taschenberg) in synonymy with /eucomelas in the list of species, below, as a 
Tesult of a study of the only specimen sent to me from the Taschenberg collec- 
tion in Martin Luther University. It is a female. Like other specimens in the 
_Taschenberg collection, the pin bearing the specimen bore no data, which 
‘were on a separate pin accompanying the specimen. This specimen is now 
selected as lectotype of Tettigonia albopunctulata Taschenberg The data are: 
“albopuncta-/ta m./Venez. Moritz.” 
_ Cicada moesta Fabricius is interpreted here in the sense of the lectotype. It is 
“more commonly found in collections than any other species of the genus ex- 
cept /eucomelas, and is easily recognized from the characters used in the key, 
_and by the two oblique transcommissural gray bands, almost forming a circle, 
‘over the wings at rest. 
» Tettigoniella picta Distant was placed generically from an examination of the 
female lectotype. I have not compared specimens with the lectotype, but my 
identification agrees closely with the original description of this species, one of 
the most beautiful cicadellids I have ever seen. The bright yellow or creamy 
spot on the pro- and mesopleuron, in striking contrast to the bluish fore- 
wings, and to the pink disk of the pronotum and to the (usually) black of the 
face makes this species easily recognizable. 
Tettigonia pyrrhoptera Stal is known to me only from the lectotype. It is close 
to M. tribunicia (Berg) but is 0.5 mm longer and the medial pair of pale longi- 
tudinal clypeal stripes is narrower than in ¢tribunicia. The forewings are brick- 
red and unmarked in pyrrhoptera, marked with broken pale lines in ¢trbunicia. 
 Macugonalia redundans (Fowler) can be separated easily from other species by 
the very large spots on the wings, not merely at the bases, and by the lack of 
other wing markings. The other known Central American species, testudinaria 
(Fowler) is finely mottled. Tettigonia semiguttata Signoret is known to me only 
from the lectotype and a series of specimens in NMV which were correctly 
sociated with the lectotype. One of the latter has been used to construct the 
key. 
Tettigonia rubricosa Uhler, is represented by a single male cotype in USNM 
from Kingstown, St. Vincent, B. W. I. (H. H. Smith), 1500 feet. The genitalia 
are similar to my illustrations of M. leucomelas (Walker), but the vestigial 
paraphysis is slightly different. The crown and pronotum are unmarked 
yellow tinged with orange. 
Tettigonia rufonigra (Taschenberg) is known to me only from the holotype. It 
is close to pyrrhoptera (Stal), but would key out to M. sobrina (Stal) in the key, 
below. The female abdominal sternum VII is as in sobrina.
