Caragonia gen. nov. is described and placed in the nominate tribe of Cicadellinae, based on a previous phylogenetic analysis of the closely related genus Balacha Melichar. The new genus can be distinguished from other Neotropical genera of Cicadellini by a combination of the following features: crown slightly produced anteriorly, forming nearly a right angle with frons in lateral view; pronotum wider than head with lateral margins convergent anteriorly; female sternite VII with a median longitudinal elevated fold, posterior margin with narrow and deep concavity, lateral margins well produced posteriorly; teeth of second valvulae of ovipositor gradually declivous posteriorly; aedeagus cylindrical and elongate, shaft with base directed anteriorly and then curving gradually posteriorly, with apical pair of processes; paraphyses with stalk longer than rami; and subgenital plates with apex broadly round. Caragonia bella sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Southeastern Brazil (São Paulo and Minas Gerais states) and assigned as the type-species of Caragonia gen. nov. Tettigonia monstruosa Signoret, previously placed in the genus Caragonalia Young, is transferred to the new genus based on characters of the external morphology and female genitalia.

First Time

The 12 species previously placed in Tortopus together with 3 species newly described here, are revised and included in a phylogenetic analysis. Based on synapomorphic characters on the nymphs and adults of both sexes, Tortopus is restricted to T. igaranus Needham & Murphy, T. circumfluus Ulmer, T. harrisi Traver, T. zottai (Navás), T. bellus Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, and T. arenales sp. nov., and the genus is defined by: female parastyli receptors with long furrows anterior to sockets; penes entirely flattened; male ninth abdominal sternum almost separated in two portions by a median notch; mesosternum with furcasternal protuberances contiguous only on basal corner; and nymphs with two subapical tubercles on mandibular tusks. Tortopsis is newly described for T. bruchianus (Navás), T. limoncocha sp. nov., T. obscuripennis (Domínguez), T. parishi (Banks), T. primus (McDunnough), T. puella (Pictet), T. sarae (Domínguez), T. spatula sp. nov., and T. unguiculatus (Ulmer). Tortopsis is characterized by: R sector of female fore wing without additional veins between R 2 and IR; female parastyli receptors C or V-shaped, with sockets opening towards median line; male gonopore associated with a claw-like structure; penes separated from the base; parastyli more than 5 times length of pedestals; parastyli curved in lateral view; nymphs with a single subapical tubercle on mandibular tusks. The study of available type material permitted inclusion of comparative diagnoses, with figures and redescriptions as needed. The male imago of the type species of Tortopus (T. igaranus Needham & Murphy) is described for the first time, as are the female adults of Tortopus bellus Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty and T. harrisi Traver. Three new Neotropical species based on male and female adults are described: Tortopus arenales and Tortopsis limoncocha from Ecuador, and Tortopsis spatula from Colombia. Keys to separate the adults and nymphs of the genera of Polymitarcyidae, and for male and female adults of all the species of Tortopus and Tortopsis are presented, as well as line drawings, pictures and SEM photographs of important structures.

Neoapterocis gen. nov. is described based on two species: Neoapterocis mexicanus sp. nov. (type species) from the state of Oaxaca (Mexico); and Neoapterocis chilensis sp. nov. from Concepción Province (VIII Biobío Region), Chile. Diagnostic characters of the genus include the distinct oval, highly convex body, small eyes and scutellum, absence of hind wings, short prosternum and metaventrite, and first abdominal ventrite longer than the next two together. Comparisons are made with other apterous and micropterous ciid genera, particularly Apterocis Perkins, Lipopterocis Miyatake, Nipponapterocis Miyatake and Polynesicis Zimmerman. The new genus is placed in the tribe Ciini. A key to males of the species of Neoapterocis gen. nov. is provided, together with descriptions of external morphology of adults, morphology of male genitalia of both species and the female genitalia of Neo. mexicanus sp. nov. Neoapterocis gen. nov. is the first apterous ciid genus to be described from continental lands

Monophyletic Lineage

A phylogeny of the lichen moth tribe Lithosiini has been constructed based on adult morphological characters. Specimens of 76 species representing 49 genera and each of the seven subtribes that have been proposed, as well as genera that have yet to be placed within a subtribe, were examined. When possible the type species of each genus was included in the analysis. Eighty-two characters from the external morphology and male and female genitalia were coded. The dataset was analyzed using both Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic methods with outgroup taxa selected from the subfamily Aganainae and tribe Arctiini. The morphological characters show the tribe Lithosiini as a monophyletic lineage, but could not assess the monophyly of the seven subtribes that have been hypothesized. The clades that are resolved by our phylogenetic analysis were composed only of genera representing a single subtribe or those that have not previously been placed in a subtribe. These results provide support for the existence of subtribes within the Lithosiini and represent the most extensive examination of the phylogeny of this tribe to date.

A new genus of Neocoelidiinae, Xenocoelidiana gen. nov., and its type-species, Xenocoelidiana ornata sp. nov., are described from the state of Amazonas, Brazil. This new genus is similar to genera with species lacking a distinct carina in the transition between the crown and front (Chinchinota Kramer, Deltocoelidia Kramer, Chinaia Bruner & Metcalf, Xenocoelidia Kramer, and Paraphysiana Chiamolera & Cavichioli). The genus can be distinguished from these other genera mainly by the long coronal suture at the basal half of the crown, the antennal ledges which in lateral view are straight and strongly carinate, and the rectangular clypeus with parallel lateral margins.

A new genus of Gyponini, Sakakibarana gen. nov., is proposed and its type species S. amazonica sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on specimens from the Amazon Rainforest of Northern Brazil (states of Amazonas and Pará) and French Guiana. The new genus can be distinguished from other members of the Gyponini by the following morphological features: robust body, short crown, crown and face transition distinct and subfoliaceous, pronotum strongly declivous, male pygofer with caudal process, and aedeagus with dorsal apodemes with a pair of processes. A discussion comparing the new genus with the related genus Tenuacia DeLong, 1977 is provided.

Undescribed Species

New Caledonia has an endemic opiliofauna with two named species of Triaenonychidae, 17 Troglosironidae and eight Zalmoxidae. The recent finding of Neopilionidae on Grande Terre was thus surprising, and required the formal description of a new genus, which we undertake here. Martensopsalis gen. nov. is characterized by a small unsclerotized body with a unique palp with a pointed basal apophysis on the ventral side of the femur and with a distal apophysis on the prolateral side of the patella. The distinct external morphology, simple penis and unique phylogenetic position justify the erection of the new genus with Martensopsalis dogny spec. nov. as its type species. In addition to the type locality we report several other localities of putative congeneric, yet undescribed species.

Three New Species

AbstractThe Oriental genus Baptista Distant is redescribed and compared with other genera of Old World Microveliinae. The type-species, B. gesiroi Distant, hitherto only known from the type specimens (from Burma), is redescribed and recorded from Thailand. Three new speeies are described: B. femoralis sp. n. (Thailand, West Malaysia), B. digitata sp. n. (Thailand), and B. angulata sp. n. (southern India). These species all live in very cryptic and secluded habitats, like wet litter, small watery holes in rocks, or small cavities under turf along streams. The males of the new species exhibit a remarkable polymorphism in the structure of fore Iegs and pregenital abdomen. A closely related genus, Lathriovelia gen. n., is described with two species, L. capitata sp. n. and L. collaris sp. n., both from West Malaysia. This genus has a head structure which is quite unique within the subfamily.

A new genus, Krameragallia, type-species Agalliopsis rex gen. nov. Kramer, is described and illustrated. Krameragallia gen. nov. can be distinguished from all other known genera of Neotropical Agalliini by morphological features such as the following: largest size (7.4–9mm) among known species in the New World representatives of the subfamily; strong contrasting scarlet and black color pattern; aedeagus shaft very long, almost ribbon-like with ventral process; aedeagal apex bearing one pair of lateral slender processes on each side and first valvifer of female genitalia very well developed and hook-shaped. Female genitalia are described for the first time, including a highly unusual, well developed first valvifer. Notes on the genus as well as on the distinction between Krameragallia gen. nov., Agalliopsis Kirkaldy, Brasa Oman, and Chromagallia Linnavuori are given.
