03BE772DFFD2FF83FF361F47FA3BFA87.taxon	description	Cyphotes - group genera (Aspona, Cyphotes, Hypheodana, Nasuconia and Taunaya) share a unique combination of morphological features that distinguishes them from other Darnini genera. These genera can sometimes be challenging to distinguish from each other due to an overlap of key characters and a scarcity of material in collections for reference. With the aim of providing a more stable classification of these genera, we identify diagnostic characters and propose a preliminary key. In cases where genera lack unique synapomorphies that define them, we propose a combination of characters to redefine them. For Hypheodana, we follow diagnostic characters established by Sakakibara (2006); because of its high morphological heterogeneity, however, a closer comparison of the species of this genus is necessary. A phylogenetic analysis is beyond the scope of this paper and all generic concepts here provided should be considered hypotheses that need to be tested in future research. Morphological notes The following are morphological features of the Cyphotes - group not present in other Darnini genera. Head. Coronal and frontoclypeal sutures well delimited (poorly delimited in raindrop genera) (Fig. 4 A sc, s fc). The forward projected head is not a unique character to the Cypho tes group genera; this is a character also observed in other genera such as Funkhouseriana Creão-Duarte, 1999, Tynelia Stål, 1858, and Neotynelia Creão-Duarte and Sakakibara, 2000. Head orientation (vertex and frontoclypeus) varies from perpendicular, to obliquely projected forward forming an angle between the metopidum and vertex. Pronotum. Covering forewings at rest, costal area visible (Fig. 4 B); pronotum integument irregular, punctate, pubescent, with elevated lines, knots, or combinations of these present (Fig. 3) (sculpture even and smooth, in other Darnini genera); postocular area not extended beyond the eye (Fig. 4 B) (postocular area lobulate or carinate in other Darnini genera); preapical part of posterior pronotal process enlarged (Fig. 4 B), evenly convex, or tapered; median carina percurrent, elevated throughout (Fig. 4 C) (not elevated in other genera); humeral angles projected laterally, triangular (Fig. 10 A) to trilobate (Figs. 16 A, E, D) (humeral angles not well projected laterally in other Darnini genera). Legs. Pro- and mesothoracic tibia subfoliaceous (Fig. 2 D) (slender in other Darnini genera); metathoracic femur with row of cucullate setae absent or, if present, restricted to basal or distal area (Fig. 2 B); metathoracic tibia with row I reduced or absent (Figs. 2 E – F). Forewing. Vein M approaching and closely parallel to R in basal half of wing; vein R 4 + 5 strongly curved toward costal margin, forming nearly right angle (Figs. 5 A; 11; 17) (M equidistant between M and Cu; R 4 + 5 straight in other Darnini) (Figs. 5 B, C). Abdomen. Sternum notably more sclerotized than tergum (Figs. 6 A, C); abdominal sternites with conspicuous punctation (Figs. 6 C – H) (uniformly sclerotized, without conspicuous punctations in other Darnini genera) (Figs. 6 A, B).	en	Gonzalez-Mozo, Laura C., Ware, Jessica L.

03BE772DFFD4FF80FF361E30FA3BF854.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic considerations Burmeister (1835) erected the monotypic genus Cyphotes, with C. nodosa, from Pará, Brazil (Figs. 8 A; 9 A; 10 A), as the type species. He defined the genus based on the following features: head truncate, obtuse, with two ventral pits in which the antennae are inserted; pronotum with a longitudinal ridge in the middle and extending laterally and posteriorly into two conspicuous swellings; hind tibiae gradually expanded. No illustration of the species was provided. Silbermann (1836) described and illustrated a specimen identified as C. nodosa, from Pará, Brazil, and in this work considered the main defining character for the genus as the presence of one oval cell in the forewing. This oval cell, based on his illustration, results from two fused basal veins (M and Cu), which then divide and connect distally through a crossvein (m-cu 1). However, comparison of Silbermann’s illustration with a photograph of the holotype of C. nodosa suggests that he was describing and referring to a different species (Silberman, 1936 Plate: 36 Figs. 1 – 4). Goding (1926) described the species Cyphotes insolita from Tena, Ecuador. Funkhouser (1927) cataloged Cyphotes in Smiliinae, retaining both described species in the genus. Goding (1929) transferred Cyphotes into the tribe Darnini and provided a key to both species. Metcalf and Wade (1965) maintained Cyphotes in Darninae-Darnini, with the two species C. insolita and C. nodosa comprising the genus. Fonseca and Diringshofen (1969) described Cyphotes quadrinodosa (as quadrinodosos) from Santa Catarina, Rio Vermelho, Brazil. McKamey (1998) listed three species of Cyphotes, including C. insolita, C. nodosa, and C. quadrinodosus. Stål (1862) described the genus Aspona, with one species, Aspona bullata, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Figs. 8 C; 9 C; 10 C). One of the diagnostic characters described was the presence of one discoidal cell in the forewing, resulting from the absence of the s crossvein. The original description of Cyphotes did not mention forewing venation. In subsequent works (Deitz, 1975; Sakakibara, 2005 a), the distinction between Cyphotes and Aspona was based on the absence of the s crossvein in the forewing of Aspona and the presence of this crossvein in Cyphotes. This character was considered by Sakakibara (2005 a) to validate the transfer of Cyphotes quadrinodosa into Aspona; in that paper he also synonymized Aspona bullata Stål, 1862 (= Aspona gibosa Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1969 (Figs. 8 B; 9 B; 10 B), and Taunaya gibbosa Remes-Lenicov, 1973 and recognized only two valid species in Aspona: A. bullata Stål, 1862 and A. quadrinodosa (Fonseca & Dringshofen, 1969). The venation of the holotype of C. nodosa is examined here for the first time in detail and the s crossvein was found to be absent (Fig. 11 A). This trait is found in Aspona and C. quadrinodosa (Fig. 11 D). We therefore propose Aspona to be a junior synonym of Cyphotes and transfer both species previously included in Aspona to Cyphotes. Aspona bullata is here treated as a junior synonym of C. nodosa (see comments of C. nodosa). Thus, Cyphotes includes two valid species: C. nodosa and C. quadrinodosa reinstated. comb. The other species previously placed in Cyphotes are transferred to Allocyphotes gen. nov. described below: A. insolita (Goding, 1926) comb. nov., A. pompanoni (Boulard, 2011) comb. nov.; and A. colombiensis (Gonzalez-Mozo, 2017) comb. nov.	en	Gonzalez-Mozo, Laura C., Ware, Jessica L.

03BE772DFFD8FF8DFF361BCAFDD8F98B.taxon	discussion	Comments. This is the type species of the genus. Cyphotes nodosa has the following synonyms: Aspona bullata Stål, 1862 Aspona gibosa Fonseca & Diringshofen; Taunaya gibbosa Remes-Lenicov (1973). We follow Sakakibara (2005) in treating Aspona gibosa Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1969 (Figs. 8 B; 9 B; 10 B) and Taunaya gibbosa Remes-Lenicov (1973) as junior synonyms of A. bullata (now C. nodosa). After morphological examination and in correlation with the geographic distribution of the specimens (Fig. 21), A. bullata (Figs. 8 C; 9 C; 10 C) is considered here a synonym of C. nodosa. Specimens of C. nodosa have only been reported from southeastern South America and lower elevations from 130 – 740 meters.	en	Gonzalez-Mozo, Laura C., Ware, Jessica L.

The pronotal sculpture is distinctively reticulate; contrasting with C. nodosa the posterolateral part of pronotum is semicircular abruptly narrowing to the posterior process. The head and pronotal morphology along with the absence of the forewing s crossvein support the reinstatement of Aspona quadrinodosa into Cyphotes. This species have only been reported in Santa Catarina, Brazil distributed in lower elevations from 75 – 339 meters.	en	Gonzalez-Mozo, Laura C., Ware, Jessica L.

03BE772DFFDBFF8AFF361D23FA3BFD44.taxon	discussion	Comments. Despite the morphological heterogeneity among the species, all included species exhibit the same proposed diagnostic characters that support including them in the same genus. The preapical part of the pronotal posterior process is highly variable and is here considered a reliable character only at the species level. Two species are transferred from Cyphotes, (C. insolita and C. colombiensis), one species is transferred from Aspona (A. pompanoni), and three new species are described for a total of six species. In contrast to Cyphotes, the distribution Allocyphotes is wider (Fig. 22). “ Cyphotes sp. ” figured in Godoy et al. (2006; pp. 121 – 123) represents a new species of Allocyphotes but was not available for study; it will be treated in a separate paper.	en	Gonzalez-Mozo, Laura C., Ware, Jessica L.

03BE772DFFDDFF88FF36186AFEC2FF59.taxon	discussion	Comments. Male genitalia of A. insolita is similar to A. waoraniorum but differ in the dentition of the aedeagal corona, which is present in A. insolita, the dorsal margin of style, which is pointed in A. waoraniorum sp. nov., and pronotal morphology, which is strongly reticulate in A. waoraniorum. Allocyphotes insolita shows a marked sexual dimorphism (Figs. 14 B; 15 B; 16 B; 23; 24), with male color pattern and size differing from females: males are darker, and females are approximately 0.8 mm longer than males. This species is newly recorded from Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela (Fig. 22). Specimens were collected in lowlands between 130 – 430 meters altitude. Specimens of A. insolita have been found on Citrus sp. (Rutaceae) and Trema micrantha (Cannabaceae), although breeding host plants have not yet been determined. Field observations of species in the Cyphotes - group are scarce, here we present two photos of live A. insolita; the first made by Chris Dietrich in Coca (Puerto Francisco de Orellana), Napo, Ecuador (Fig. 23) and the second by Kelly Swing at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station, Orellana, Ecuador (Fig. 24).	en	Gonzalez-Mozo, Laura C., Ware, Jessica L.

03BE772DFFDFFF97FF361DF1FBDAFDB9.taxon	discussion	Comments. The original description (Gonzalez-Mozo et al, 2017), did not provide a description or images of the genitalia, which are provided here. In contrast to other Allocyphotes species, in A. colombiensis the posterolateral area of the pronotum is well projected laterally but does not extend beyond the humeral angles (as in A. pompanoni). Other characters that support the new placement of this species in Allocyphotes are its trilobate humeral angles, the presence of an s crossvein in the forewing, and its geographic distribution. Allocyphotes colombiensis is also the only species recorded for Colombia and recorded in highlands at 2300 meters of altitude.	en	Gonzalez-Mozo, Laura C., Ware, Jessica L.

03BE772DFFC0FF97FF361937FB88F9A3.taxon	discussion	Comments. A. pompanoni comb. nov. is transferred here into Allocyphotes based on the following characters: pronotal sculpture, frontoclypeus tubular, extended 1 / 3 beyond supraantenal ledges, humeral angles trilobate and posterolateral area of pronotum not well projected laterally; characters of genitalia and forewing venation are not treated in Boulard’s description. Therefore they are not discussed here. Further analysis of these characters is required, however, we consider the available characters sufficient to support the new combination. A. pompanoni comb. nov. is closely related to A. robertoi sp. nov. they differ however in the morphology of the preapical portion of pronotum. This is the only species of Allocyphotes recorded for French Guiana.	en	Gonzalez-Mozo, Laura C., Ware, Jessica L.

03BE772DFFC3FF92FF361ACFFC9AFE71.taxon	discussion	Comments. Closely resembling A. insolita (see A. insolita comments). In contrast to other Allocyphotes species, preapical part of pronotum of A. waoraniorum sp. nov. is evenly convex, and the coloration is homogeneous without black marks over the pronotum. As A. pompanoni, knots are present over the metopidium in A. waoraniorumi, but the posterolateral area of pronotum is not projected laterally.	en	Gonzalez-Mozo, Laura C., Ware, Jessica L.

03BE772DFFC5FF90FF361EAAFB9EF9C1.taxon	discussion	Comments. This species is most similar to A. pompanoni comb. nov. (see comments A. pompanoni). Males of A. robertoi differ in being smaller and lighter in coloration than females. The three new species here described are from Ecuador (see Fig. 22), all from the same location: Reserva Etnica Waorani in Orellana, Ecuador, collected by T. Erwin et al. The distribution of these species may be wider but their discovery in one small area suggests that many membracid species remain to be discovered in the canopy of the neotropical forest.	en	Gonzalez-Mozo, Laura C., Ware, Jessica L.
