CICADELLINAE: PART 2. NEW WORLD CICADELLINI 1083 
stem not longer than arms which are widely divergent. Aedeagus elongate and 
with apical or anteapical paired lateral processes. Paraphyses present or ab- 
sent (dubiosa). 
Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin produced posteriorly 
and strongly and regularly convex or narrowly notched on posterior margin. 
Genital chamber without sclerites. Ovipositor with second valvulae each broad 
beyond basal curvature and with convex primary teeth, with numerous denti- 
cles on posterior margins of primaries and on areas between primaries; apices 
rather blunt, rounded, with minute anteapical dorsal and ventral denticles. 
Pygofer slender and strongly produced, with a few short multiseriate setae 
parallel to ventral margin. 
Specimens of Ehagua Melichar are yellow to yellowish-green on anterior 
dorsum, with black markings or vermiculations; forewing with at least some 
dull red suffusion; face and thoracic pleura dull yellow with few dark mark- 
ings. I have seen specimens from Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican 
Republic. 
My interpretation of Ehagua dubiosa (Dozier) is based on specimens in 
USNM from Haiti and the Dominican Republic. It agrees with a specimen in 
the MMB labeled ‘‘Ehagua polita,”’ probably by Melichar, but this is a nomen 
nudum. I have interpreted Tapajosa rufipennis Melichar in accordance with the 
female lectotype. 
I have been unable to find close relationships between Ehagua and other 
genera included in this work.
