| All four species of the Faltala Oman leafhopper group occurring in Argentina, Faltala brachyptera Oman, F. furcipennis Cheng, Clorindaia hecaloides Linnavuori and C. brasileira Zahniser & Webb, are reviewed. The female of Faltala furcipennis is described for the first time and some additional traits for the male and female genitalia of F. brachyptera, F. furcipennis and Clorindaia brasileira are included. A key to identify the four Argentinean species, based on male and female genitalia - including the specific differences in microsculpturing of the first valvulae- and the external morphology is presented. Further information on the geographical distribution of these grass-specialists is reported and Faltala furcipennis and Clorindaia brasileira... |
