Dellapé, Gimena, 2015, Description of the female terminalia of twenty species of Proconiini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from Argentina, Zootaxa 3915 (4), pp. 521-539 : 526

Molomea consolida Schröder 1959

Diagnosis. Dorsal coloration dark, pink clypeus, thoraxic and abdominal pleurae yellowish. Male: subgenital plates reach one-third of the length of pygofer; aedeagus with pair of apical processes, and pair of atrial processes as long as the aedeagal shaft.

Female terminalia. Abdominal sternite VII, in ventral view ( Fig. 10 ), with lateral margins parallel, lateroposterior margins rounded, and posterior margin sinuous with median small projection; surface with scattered microsetae. Pygofer, in lateral view, slightly produced posteriorly; surface with scattered microsetae and a few macrosetae on posteroventral margin. First valvifers, in lateral view, longer than tall; with small spiniform processes on ventral region, and fine setae on posterior margin. First ovipositor valvulae, in lateral view, rectilinear beyond basal curvature and then narrowing gradually toward apex; dorsal and ventral sculptured areas formed by scale-like processes arranged in oblique lines; apex acute ( Fig. 30 ), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins. Second valvulae, in lateral view, rectilinear or slightly broadened beyond basal curvature and then narrowing gradually toward apex; dorsal margin of blade bearing 32 to 35 noncontiguous teeth, each tooth subrectangular, with denticles on anterior and dorsal margins ( Fig. 50 ); ducts extending toward teeth and toward apical blade portion; apex rounded ( Fig. 70 ), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins; preapical ventral prominence conspicuous. Gonoplacs, in lateral view, with small spiniform processes on ventral margin; apex rounded.
