11. Cicadulina viridis , new species ( fig. 19 , a-c).

A pale olive-yellow species, uniformly colored except the darker compound eyes. Crown much broader than in any other species known to me, being more than three times as broad as its median length.

External male genitalia: valve small; posterior border rounded; plates attenuate, not quite as long as the pygofer, with a row of six stout spines along the lateral margins; pygofer large, broadly expanded posteriorly cop.cealing the anal style. Internal male genitalia: genital styles slender terminating in acute, laterally directed spines; aedeagus long, slender, strongly recurved and directed cephalad, suddenly expanded apically. Spine of pygofer elongate, spirally curved, broadly expanded apically.

Length: to apex of abdomen, 2.75 mm.; to apex of tegmina, 3.5 mm.
