Sanborn, Allen F., 2018, The cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) of Panama including the description of six new species, three new combinations, one new synonymy, and nine new records, Zootaxa 4493 (1), pp. 1-69 : 54-55

Tribe Chlorocystini Distant, 1905e

Chlorocystaria Distant 1905e: 212 .

TYPE GENUS. Cystosoma (Chlorocytsa) Westwood 1851: 208 .

Remarks. Species are characterized by the fore wings with a very narrow margin, a medially furrowed pronotum, a narrow cruciform elevation, an inflated male abdomen with a medial longitudinal dorsal ridge, the timbals not extending below the wing bases, a flat upper pygofer lobe and pseudoparameres present on the S-shaped aedeagus ( Moulds 2005). The position of the Conibosa Distant, 1905e within the tribe needs to be analyzed in more detail ( Marshall et al. 2018). The species of Conibosa possess timbals that extend below the wing bases contrary to the tribal characteristics.
