8F6687E9FFF80D37FF3AFBEDFB40FB4D.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species is named in honor of Dr. Albino M. Sakakibara (retired, Universidade Federal do Paraná) in recognition of his numerous contributions to Auchenorrhyncha taxonomy. The species epithet is treated as a noun in apposition. Notes. Propetes sakakibara sp. nov. resembles P. triquetra as follows: (1) crown and pronotum dark-brown or with few yellow maculae (Figs 1, 3); (2) aedeagus with shaft shorter than atrial processes (Figs 13, 15); and (3) aedeagal atrial processes, each trifurcate (Figs 13, 15). However, the new species differs from P. triquetra mainly by the shape of the connective and aedeagal atrial processes. In P. sakakibara sp. nov. the atrial process ventral ramus is long, measuring approximately one-third of whole process length and apices of dorsal rami are distant from each other for at most the length of one ramus (Figs 12, 14) and the connective does not have a median anterior lobe (Fig. 11). In P. triquetra the atrial processes ventral ramus is very small, measuring approximately one-tenth of whole process length and dorsal rami apices are distant from each other for a distance longer than the length of one ramus (Fig. 17 ‒ 18) and the connective has a median anterior lobe (Fig. 16).	en	Prando, Jádila Santos, Gonçalves, Clayton Corrêa, Takiya, Daniela Maeda (2017): On the wasp-mimicking sharpshooter genus Propetes Walker, 1851 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae): description of a new species, proposal of a new synonymy, and distributional notes.

8F6687E9FFF90D32FF3AFABAFDF8FE25.taxon	materials_examined	Notes. The description and photographs provided herein for the female of P. triquetra are based on the association of males and females from Santo Antonio do Tauá, Pará State, Brazil. This is the only locality represented among studied material where both males and females of Amazonian Propetes were collected. This particular female of P. triquetra (as well as, other females listed in the examined material below from Eastern Amazonia) agree with the external morphology of the holotype of P. compressa and lectotype of P. trimaculata, including the shape of the abdominal sternite VII. Dissections of the genitalia of these female specimens did not reveal any diagnostic difference to separate them in different species and, for this reason, the female genitalia of these primary types were spared from dissection. So it is most probable that no morphological differences are found in females of P. triquetra and P. sabakibara and some female specimens treated herein as P. triquetra could in fact be P. sakakibara. Nevertheless, until more Amazonian Propetes females are available for study and show reliable diagnostic characters to differentiate these two species, we prefer to consider all available females from Eastern Amazonia (Pará and Mato Grosso states, see discussion below on geographic distribution), including primary female types of P. compressa and P. trimaculata, as conspecific with P. triquetra males. Thus, under the Principle of Priority of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999), the valid name for this species is P. triquetra. Material examined.
