It is distinguished by the following combination of characters: pygofer without both processes or a posterior comb-like row of spines; subgenital plates separate with macrosetae arising laterally; style apical process short to moderately long, hook-like to digitate; connective and aedeagal shaft short to moderately long, the shaft less than 1½ times length of connective, cylindrical or trough-like, without lateral processes or if lateral processes present (subapically) then shorter than adjacent shaft apex (trisuli Dash &amp; Viraktamath and trispinosa Dash &amp; Viraktamath, from India), with or without a spine-like apical extension but if present not shelf-like.</p> <p>Many inconsistencies regarding the definition and status of the genera in the Deltocephalus group have arisen (due in large part), to differing interpretations of the structure of the aedeagus and as to whether the observed differences are at the generic or subgeneric level. In this context the recognised variation in the aedeagus is as follows (see also discussion under Maiestas below):</p> <p>Group 1. Aedeagal shaft short and robust, strongly upturned distally without an apical extension, with a distinct apical gonopore (Fig. 6h).</p> <p>Group 2. Aedeagal shaft short and robust, weak to strongly upturned distally with a distinct apical extension and distinct apical gonopore (Figs 4h, 5h).</p> <p>Group 3. Aedeagal shaft elongate, gradually and weakly curved distally, with or without an apical extension that sometimes forms a ventral apical ridge; gonopore obscure (Fig. 11h).</p> <p>The following alternative options for the above groups, together with the names that have been applied to those groups, i.e. those names used prior to the current inclusion of Maiestas, are as follows:</p> <p>Option 1. A single genus with two subgenera (Ribaut, 1952, Knight, 1975 and Dash &amp; Viraktamath, 1998), as follows: a Deltocephalus sensu lato</p> <p>Subgenus 1. Deltocephalus sensu str. (Group 1)</p> <p>Subgenus 2. Recilia sensu lato (Groups 2 and 3, including Recilia and the following synonyms:</p> <p>Togacephalus, Inemadara, Inazuma and Insulanus).</p> <p>Option 2. Two genera (Kramer, 1962, Kwon &amp; Lee, 1979, Day &amp; Fletcher, 1994 and Kamitani, 1999;</p> <p>Biedermann &amp; Niedringhaus, 2004), as follows:</p> <p>a Deltocephalus sensu str. (Group1)</p> <p>b Recilia sensu lato (Groups 2 and 3, including Recilia and the following synonyms or subgenera: Togacephalus, Inemadara, Inazuma and Insulanus).</p> <p>The following option is also possible but has not been used in the literature.</p> <p>Option 3. Three genera as follows:</p> <p>a Deltocephalus sensu str. (Group 1)</p> <p>b Recilia s. str. (Group 2)</p> <p>c Togocephalus sensu lato (Group 3, including Togacephalus and the following synonyms or subgenera: Inemadara, Inazuma and Insulanus).</p> <p>With the inclusion of Maiestas into the Deltocephalus group its features of the aedeagus fall into those of Group 3 and unfortunately, as it is the older name, it takes priority over Recilia and Togacephalus in Options 1a Subgenus 2, 2b and 3c above. Therefore the revised Options 1–3, together with a fourth option, are as follows (revised parts in bold):</p> <p>Option 1. A single genus with two subgenera as follows:</p> <p>a. Deltocephalus sensu lato</p> <p>Subgenus 1. Deltocephalus sensu str. (Group 1)</p> <p>Subgenus 2. Maiestas sensu lato (Groups 2 and 3, including Maiestas and the following synonyms: Recilia, Togacephalus, Inemadara, Inazuma and Insulanus)</p> <p>Option 2. Two genera as follows:</p> <p>a. Deltocephalus sensu str. (Group 1)</p> <p>b. Maiestas sensu lato (groups 2 and 3, including Maiestas and the following synonyms or subgenera: Recilia, Togacephalus, Inemadara, Inazuma and Insulanus)</p> <p>Option 3. Two genera as follows:</p> <p>a. Deltocephalus sensu lato, including Deltocephalus sensu str. and Recilia sensu str. as a subgenus or synonym: (Groups 1 &amp; 2)</p> <p>b. Maiestas (Group 3)</p> <p>Option 4. Three genera as follows: a. Deltocephalus sensu str. (Group 1) b. Recilia sensu str. (Group 2) c. Maiestas sensu lato (Group 3, including Maiestas and the following synonyms or subgenera: Togacephalus, Inemadara, Inazuma and Insulanus)</p> <p>Which of the above Options 1–4 is preferred is a matter of conjecture. However, for the present we consider it prudent to use Option 4, thereby retaining the well known genus Recilia for two species (coronifer and raoi), and transfering all other species formerly in Recilia or Deltocephalus (Recilia) to Maiestas.</p> <p>Based on colour pattern and shape of the head, style and aedeagus, further sub-division of the new Maiestas group is possible, and some of this variability is reflected in the type species of Maiestas and the type species of its synonyms (see 4c above). For example, the type species of Maiestas (M. illustris), has a longer head than other species (Fig. 11a), the type species of Togacephalus (T. distincta) and Inazuma (I. dorsalis), have distinctive style apical processes (Figs 34f, 36f); the former has the aedeagus with an apical ventral ridge (Fig. 34m) and the latter distinctive forewing markings (Fig. 36o). In addition, some other notable variation is also present in some other species (see remarks under Maiestas below). However, until further work is done on the large assemblage of species in the new Maiestas group, we prefer not to give the above divisions formal group names.</p> <p>With respect to some other stated differences between genera in the Deltocephalus group, we have found that, contrary to Linnavuori (1959: 129), the pygofer is dorsally sclerotised in both Deltocephalus and Recilia, and contrary to Kramer (1962: 259) the aedeagus in Deltocephalus can be without (Fig. 6j) or with an apical notch, the lateral margin of the subgenital plate is slightly convex (Fig. 6d) and in Recilia s. str. (as noted above), the gonopore is distinct (Fig. 4i).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E98798FFA92320FF30F957B12EFAA1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Treated as a subgenus of Recilia by Day &amp; Fletcher, 1994: 1203.</p> <p>Remarks. Based on the identity of Maiestas noted above (see ‘The Deltocephalus group’) most species of Recilia or Deltocephalus (Recilia) are transferred to this genus (see species lists below). Also, as noted above many inconsistencies regarding the definition and status of the Deltocephalus group genera have arisen, due in large part, to differing interpretations of the structure of the aedeagus. We have found that with respect to the shaft in Maiestas, it can be either trough-like (Fig. 11j) or cylindrical, and may have an ‘apical bifurcation’ (Fig. 17k), a pair of subapical lobes (Fig. 42i), a subapical ventral process (indica and menoni), a pair of short subapical processes, (trispinosa and trisuli) or a ventral projection from the socle, e.g. banda. In addition, it seems that for those species with a cylindrical shaft with its apex bifurcate, the upper branch appears hoodlike and weakly sclerotised in dorsal view, its margin appearing as a fine single line that is very indistinct and that may have been overlooked in some previously published figures. In contrast, the remaining dorsal margin of the shaft in lateral view and the ventral margin up to the ventral apical extension (when present) have a thick double line (Fig. 18o). In addition, with respect to the ventral extension of the shaft beyond the ‘hoodlike region, it appears to arise from beneath the ‘hood’ (Fig. 38o) although at the same time can appear ridgelike in ventral view (Fig. 38m). Also, if the ventral extension is homologous to the shaft apex in those species without an ‘apical bifurcation’, then it is unclear if it should be referred to as a process (or spine) or not (compare figs 37h, 37m with 38k, 38m). Unusual in Cicadellidae, the gonoduct and gonopore in Maiestas are frequently very obscure, the latter structure being referred to as “Gonopore... usually very poorly delimited” by Kramer (1962: 259, in table under Recilia). Also, Kramer (1962) described and figured an elongate gonopore that in some cases extends along almost the entire dorsal surface of the shaft, which if true would be unusual. In our figures, what may be the ventral margin of the gonoduct appears as a double line throughout its length in lateral view, except basally, and in some cases something approaching a visible gonopore is seen beneath(?) the ‘hood’ in dorsal view.</p> <p>In addition to the above, the following other differences between Maiestas species are apparent, e.g., basal abdominal apodemes variable in length and shape, subgenital plates rounded (Fig. 34e) to more triangular (Fig. 37e), style with lateral lobe short (Fig. 36f) to long (Fig. 37f) and style apical process hook-like (Fig. 32f) or digitate (Fig. 33f). Also, there are some external differences that are often associated with different genera, e.g., variation in the ocellocular distance and shape of the clypellus, forewing with or without reticulate venation and two or three closed subapical cells, colour markings variable and the dorsal setal formula of the fore tibia either 4+1 or 4+4. One of these features, the reticulate venation of the forewing, was used in Dash &amp; Viraktamath’s (1998) key to separate two Indian species, i.e. indica and pruthii, but this feature is also present in four other Indian species i.e. menoni, butleri, delongi and scripta. The latter two, together with a few other Indian species were not included in Dash &amp; Viraktamath’s key and or descriptions (see remarks under ‘Checklist of Indian and Sri Lankan species’ below). Based on the above differences between species, the division of Maiestas into separate genera or subgenera remains a possibility, but is beyond the scope of the present work.</p> <p>For some of the species listed below some new information is given on the types and synonymy in Appendix 4.</p> <p>Included species:</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E98798FFAD2325FF30FA9DB2C4F9E0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Comb. nov. (Fig. 18).</p> <p>Deltocephalus (Recilia)) beieri (Dlabola, 1964: 623, fig. 12), Sudan.</p> <p>Remarks. This species is very similar to schmidtgeni, but can be distinguished by its slightly shorter aedeagal shaft and slightly more robust style apex (compare Fig. 17k with 18k and Fig. 17f with 18f). Although the original description indicates that the aedeagus differs from that of schmidtgeni by its more dorsally angled aedeagus, the reverse seems to be true! The rather poor original drawing of the aedeagus in beieri may be as a result of the aedeagus being examined and drawn dry; the genitalia of the holotype (NMW) having been previously glued to a card (now in glycerine). The aedeagus of the examined paratype is not angled at midlength and is intermediate in proportions between the holotype and material from North Africa of uncertain species identity (see remarks under schmidtgeni). The original description of beieri indicated one male (the holotype) and seven paratype females (Dlabola collection and NMW). However, in addition to the holotype (NMV) a paratype male (figured here, ex Dlabola coll., MNHN) has been examined and 4 paratype females and an immature are also in NMV (pers. comm. Herbert Zettel). The record from Ethiopia (Heller &amp; Linnavuori, 1968: 13, fig. 1) needs to be confirmed.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E98798FFAF2324FF30FF76B1A0FD69	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

New name.</p> <p>Deltocephalus (Recilia) schmidtgeni Wagner, Ribaut, 1952: 250, figs 613–615.</p> <p>Remarks. The identity of this species is taken from Wagner (1939: 163, figs 240–241). Wagner (1939) renamed Thamnotettix coronifer Marsh, sensu Fieber (1872), as schmidtgeni and figured what he presumed to be the same species from Germany (see Fig. 17o). These figures match those specimens examined here (BMNH) from S. Europe and the Mediterranean (France, Austria, Russia, Greece, Hungary and Turkey), a feature of which is the elongate aedeagal shaft, slightly angled at midlength (Fig. 17k). Other specimens found under this name in BMNH and NMW, from the Middle East, and N. and W. Africa, were found to have a shorter, broader and more evenly curved aedeagal shaft (see Figs 19k, 20k, and 21k) and some a straighter and longer style apical process (see Fig. 21f). See also remarks under beieri.</p> <p>With reference to French records of this species it has been reported from Toulouse by Ribaut (1952), and Corsica and Dordogne by della Giustina (1989: 127) who considered it to be rather rare. However, Benoit Nusillard writes (pers. comm.) that it is found in numbers on the garrigue north of Montpellier (Hérault), around Valence and Montélimar (Drôme) (mixed with Recilia coronifer), and in the Camargue around Arles (Bouches du Rhône) and there strongly attracted to UV light. Specimens were collected between 26 of June and 11 October, with possibly two generations.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E98798FFAF233BFF30F84FB1E6FD32	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species, which is the type species of Inazuma, is widespread in Asia and the Pacific on rice. It is easily recognised by its distinctive forewing markings (Fig. 36o). Whilst retaining Inazuma as a valid taxon (as a subgenenus of Recilia) Kwon &amp; Lee (1979) stated: “there are not so much remarkable independent generic characters as a subgenus in Inazuma ”. In fact the genus was only distinguished by these authors by a rather vague reference to a difference in the shape of the style. From our observations the style has a digitate apical process and short subapical lobe (Fig. 36f), not known to us in previous figures. This form of the style in dorsalis is just one type of a very variably shaped structure in the group as a whole (see remarks under Maiestas above).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E98798FFB1233AFF30FB14B2F1F8ED	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

We here retain the genus Hecalus for porrectus following Morrison (1973: 410) rather than Linnavuoriella Evans, following Linnavuori (1975b: 32). Morrison stated “I am of the opinion that Linnavuoriella should be considered a synonym of Hecalus because (1) Hecalus specimens at hand have heads which range from angulate to spatulate with intermediate forms not clearly one or the other, and (2) in all other features, including genitalia, the species are very similar”. Linnavuori (1975b) unaware of the synonymy of Linnavuoriella with Hecalus, distinguishes it from other genera (namely Parabolocratalis Evans, Lualabanus Linnavuori, Bordesia Bergavin and Hecalus) by the following key:</p> <p>5(6) Body robust. Head broad. Crown, pronotum and scutellum with more or less developed fulvous bands. Apical area of elytra dark smoky with milky areolate spots, in pale specimens at least tips of some apical veins dark. Stem of penis arising from dorsal part of socle........................................................................................................................................................................ Linnavuoriella</p> <p>6(5) Body elongate, without fulvous pattern. Elytra sometimes infumed along veins, but without milky areole spots, veins totally pale. If penis long, then stem arising from ventral part of socle........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 7 (which includes the genera mentioned above).</p> <p>We have studied Hecalus from India and find that there are intermediates in the above characters that are used for distinguishing Linnavuoriella from Hecalus and hence we treat the two as synonyms following Morrison (1973).</p> <p>Paralimnini</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E98798FFBC2337FF30FC77B24CF801	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Comb. nov. (Fig. 33)</p> <p>Deltocephalus scriptus Distant, 1908: 389, Sri Lanka.</p> <p>Type material examined. Type (sex unknown, abdomen missing), Sri Lanka: Weligama, T.B. Fletcher, 22.i.08, plus Distant’s hand written determination label with the word ‘Type’ and a red museum ‘Type’ disc (BMNH).</p> <p>Remarks. Although this species was described from an unknown number of specimens from “ Ceylon; Weligama (Fletcher)” Distant noted in its description that the “abdomen beneath [was] imperfectly seen in [the] typical specimen, but apparently more or less piceous on [its] lateral margins”. This statement is both ambiguous (as it could imply either a single specimen or one (the typical specimen) of several specimens) and puzzling because if the abdomen was obscure why are other ventral parts of the body adequately described? Also, the type specimen, although now missing its abdomen, is mounted on a micro pin and therefore its abdomen (when present) would surely have been clearly visible! Another specimen (BMNH) from W. Malaysia, Pahang (see Fig. 33, male genitalia), matches the type almost exactly, including the unusual markings (see Fig. 33a), but if the two specimens are the same species their disjunct distribution is surprising.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E98798FF882303FF30F9F9B01DF86E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species was described and figured by Dash &amp; Viraktamath (1998) from India as Deltocephalus (Recilia) hospes Kirkaldy. Subsequent figures of hospes from its type locality (Hawaii) by Knight and those of the lectotype by the current authors (Fig. 38) indicate that hospes should be restricted to Hawaiian material and that material from India is a new species. The differences are that in the new species the vertex is much shorter with different markings (compare Figs 32a and 38a) and the aedeagal ‘apical extension’ is much longer (compare Figs 32h and 38k). Within India, the species is closely related to aridus but differs in the structure of the apex of the aedeagus, sternal apodemes and subgenital plates.

This species was described and figured by Evans (1966) from Australia as Deltocephalus coronifer Marshall and by Knight (1975) from New Zealand and Linnavuori (1960b) from Fiji as Deltocephalus hospes Kirkaldy and Deltocephalus (Insulanus) hospes Kirkaldy, respectively. Subsequent examination and figures of hospes from its type locality (Hawaii) by Knight and those of the lectotype by the current authors (Fig. 38) indicate that hospes should be restricted to the Hawaiian material and that material from other Pacific localities is a new species. The differences are that in the new species the aedeagal ‘apical extension’ is narrower in lateral view (compare Figs 38k and 39k) and less ridge-like in ventral view (compare Figs 38m and 39m), the style apical process is less robust (compare Figs 38f and 39f) and the third basal abdominal apodemes are smaller (compare Figs 38n and 39n).
