91D0117152E3A298ECDFDB44ECE8F865.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Paratettigarcta is most similar in hindwing venation to that of Eotettigarcta Zeuner, 1944 from the Paleocene of the United Kingdom (Eotettigarcta is known only from a partial hindwing) but differs in its more parallel-sided subcostal cell (the most anterior of the distal cells) where RA lies parallel to Sc for most of its length rather than gradually diverging, and in the branching of vein M where M 1 branches before M 3 (after in Eotettigarcta). There are also similarities in the forewing of Paratettigarcta with extant Tettigarcta from which Paratettigarcta differs in the early divergence of CuA 2 from the nodal line in the forewing (late divergence in Tettigarcta). The hindwing of Paratettigarcta is quite different from that of Tettigarcta, especially in the apical cells that are much longer than those of Tettigarcta, in particular the anterior most cell (subcostal cell) that is wide and extended far beyond crossvein r (narrow and only a little extended beyond r in Tettigarcta). Further, Paratettigarcta has pigmented wing patterns not unlike those present in Eotettigarcta (and some other fossil Tettigarctidae) but such patterns are absent in extant Tettigarcta.	en	Kaulfuss, Uwe, Moulds, Max (2015): A new genus and species of tettigarctid cicada from the early Miocene of New Zealand: Paratettigarctazealandica (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Tettigarctidae).

91D0117152E3A298ECDFDB44ECE8F865.taxon	description	Description. Forewing veins R and M branched close to base of forewing so that ulnar cells u 1 - u 3 and medial cell are long and narrow; vein CuA strongly bowed before branching. Nodal line clearly defined and departing the extremity of vein CuA 2. Crossvein r-m nearly straight, steeply angled to RP and M 1; m gently bowed, almost perpendicular to M 2 and M 3; m-cu strongly bowed, meeting M 4 nearly perpendicularly and meeting CuA 1 at a steep angle. Hindwing apical cells tending long and narrow, a 1 almost as long as a 2 so that crossvein r meets RA within its proximal quarter; Sc and RA wide apart, almost as wide as width of apical cell 1.	en	Kaulfuss, Uwe, Moulds, Max (2015): A new genus and species of tettigarctid cicada from the early Miocene of New Zealand: Paratettigarctazealandica (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Tettigarctidae).

91D0117152E3A298ECDFDB44ECE8F865.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The genus name is a combination of para (Latin from Greek, meaning " near ") and the extant genus-group name Tettigarcta.	en	Kaulfuss, Uwe, Moulds, Max (2015): A new genus and species of tettigarctid cicada from the early Miocene of New Zealand: Paratettigarctazealandica (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Tettigarctidae).

890E630EBD1696DE2FA0F8613CECBA4E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Paratettigarcta zealandica sp. n. differs from other Tettigarctidae by the attributes discussed in the generic diagnosis above. In particular the forewing of Paratettigarcta zealandica, that is remarkably similar to extant Tettigarcta crinita Distant, 1883 (Fig. 2) and Tettigarcta tomentosa White, 1845 (the only described species of Tettigarcta), differs as follows: (a) forewing crossvein m gently bowed and almost perpendicular to M 2 and M 3 rather than steeply angled and broadly ' S' - shaped; (b) forewing crossvein m-cu strongly bowed rather than nearly straight; (c) hindwing apical cells long and narrow, much longer than those of extant Tettigarcta (compare Figs 2 and 4).	en	Kaulfuss, Uwe, Moulds, Max (2015): A new genus and species of tettigarctid cicada from the early Miocene of New Zealand: Paratettigarctazealandica (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Tettigarctidae).

890E630EBD1696DE2FA0F8613CECBA4E.taxon	description	Description. Holotype. Forewing similar to extant Tettigarcta in size, shape and venation (compare Figs 2, 4). Impression 24.3 mm maximum length by 10.2 mm maximum width. Bearing dark pigmented transverse bands, one near the wing base, one following the nodal line between costa and M 3 + 4, one following the bases of apical cells, and one along apical margin. Nodal line strongly defined; CuA strongly bowed before forking at nodal line; crossvein r-m nearly straight and angled to both RP and M 1; crossvein m gently bowed, nearly perpendicular to M 2 and M 3; crossvein m-cu strongly bowed, meeting M 4 nearly perpendicularly, meeting CuA 1 at a steep angle. Hindwing impression 19.5 mm maximum length by 7.3 mm maximum width. Bearing dark bands, one from near coupling lobe to at least crossvein m-cu, and a dark streak behind M stem. Marginal membrane well developed but not exceedingly broad. Crossvein r nearly straight and angled to both RA and RP; crossvein r-m nearly straight and steeply angled to both RP and M; crossvein m-cu straight and angled to both M 3 and CuA 1.	en	Kaulfuss, Uwe, Moulds, Max (2015): A new genus and species of tettigarctid cicada from the early Miocene of New Zealand: Paratettigarctazealandica (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Tettigarctidae).
