E06E87BD6D49FFD7FED10B7DFA9DF899.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Noabennarella costaricensis sp. nov. Etymology: The name is an arbitrary combination of letters. Gender: Feminine. Description Medium sized cixiids (body length incl. wings in males about 6 mm, females 8.5 mm) with body laterally compressed and wings in resting position steeply inclined (Figs 1, 2, 26). Frons long and slender (Figs 10, 13), evenly rounded in lateral aspect, without carina on vertex. Hind border straight. Median keel distinct, lateral keels strongly produced, semicircular in lateral view (Figs 9, 10, 13, 14). Median and lateral ocelli distinct. Scapus short, ringlike, pedicellus cylindrical, about 1.5 times as long as wide. Pronotum short, lateral carinae distinct. Mesonotum with indistinct median and distinct lateral carinae. Fore wings long, slender, surpassing tip of abdomen by half their total length (Fig. 1). R and MA three­forked, MP bifurcate. Cubital area of the fore wing reduced in favour of the medial area, thus fore wings slightly widened apically (Fig. 12). Legs very long, metatibiae without macrosetae, apically with 6 spines (Figs 23, 24). Tarsus with 6 + 5 apical spines, platellae not present. Segments four and five with large abdominal processes, bearing 3 + 2 sensory pits (Figs 1, 2, 3, 5). Two additional sensory pits on 6 th abdominal segment. Male genital and anal segment more or less symmetrical (Figs 19, 21, 22). Aedeagus with shaft and flagellum well developed, shaft with set of movable spines, flagellum long and slender, in repose bent to the left side (Figs 16, 17). Apex of female abdomen truncate, without wax plate. Ovipositor evenly curved, at rest adjacenting to abdomen (Figs 3, 4). Ductus ejaculatorius wound helix­like, with three windings (Fig. 25). Note: We studied one female Noabennarella specimen with a wing coloration distinctly different from that of N. costaricensis. This specimen (see Figs. 3, 4, 25, 26) is labelled “ Peru: Monon Valley, Tingo Maria, XI­ 21 ­ 1954 // E. I. Schlinger & E. S. Ross collectors // Amazobenna reticulata ” and stored in the collection of the Californian Academy of Sciences. We do not know if different wing coloration patterns or sexual dimorphism exist within Noabennarella and if this female belongs to N. costaricensis or represents another undescribed species. Differential diagnosis Noabennarella can be easily distinguished from other Bennarellini by the shape of the head (especially frons) and its keels and by the venation of the fore wings. In Amazobenna and Bennarella the frons is much broader, and the lateral keels are directed laterally (see Figs 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15). CuA and MP veins are strongly arched near the apex (Fig. 12), whereas they are straight in Bennarella, and in Amazobenna only CuA is strongly arched.	en	Holzinger, Werner E., Kunz, Gernot (2006): A new genus and species of Bennarellini from Costa Rica (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Cixiidae).

E06E87BD6D4CFFDCFED1086DFCC7FE06.taxon	materials_examined	Type material: Holotype ♂: Costa Rica: Piedras Blancas National Park, Esquinas Rainforest Lodge [8 ° 41 ’ 54 ’’ N, 83 ° 12 ’ 16 ’’ W, 130 m a. s. l.], May 21, 2006, light trap in primary rain forest, Gernot Kunz leg., in coll. of the Institute for Faunistics and Animal Ecology, Graz. Paratype: 1 ♂, same location as holotype, May 24, 2006, in coll. G. Kunz. Description Body length: 3.2 mm, 5.9 – 6.0 mm incl. wings. Coloration: Head and thorax dorsally straw­coloured, ventrally lighter. Abdomen dorsally dark brownish. Body partially covered with wax. Lateral keels of frons inside and outside with blackish spot (Figs 9, 10). A small, comma­shaped blackish spot surrounds the lateral ocellus and progresses apically. Legs straw­coloured. Wings opaque, veins straw­coloured, cells creamy white with fuscous markings in a reticulate pattern. With a large blackish spot at apex of Sc and additional dark spots in centres of apical cells and at apices of veins (Fig. 1). Morphology of head, thorax, abdomen as described for genus (see Figs 9, 10, 11 – 14, 23, 24, 26). Shaft of aedeagus with five movable, more or less straight spines: one ventromedian spine directed to left, and four apical spines: one very long on right side, one small and broader on left side, and two long and slender spines ventrally (Figs 16, 17). Genital styles spoonshaped, apical part with smaller truncate lobe medially and broader lateral lobe laterally, latter produced into a roundish tip (Fig. 18).	en	Holzinger, Werner E., Kunz, Gernot (2006): A new genus and species of Bennarellini from Costa Rica (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Cixiidae).
