[sp. n.] Brazil.</p><p>Heranice planeflava; Funkhouser 1927: 317.</p><p>Ophiderma planeflava; Goding 1929: 277.</p><p>Discussion.</p><p>No holotype or other specimen was located. Fairmaire’s (1846) description of T. planeflava translates to: "Prothorax projecting backward, very little elevated, rugosely punctate throughout the head; entirely yellow; base of the abdomen a little orange; forewings hyaline, with the internal margin slightly coated." He reported it as 6 mm long.</p><p>In the mid 1800's, Fairmaire’s period, the concept of Thelia Amyot &amp; Serville contained many unrelated taxa that have since been referred to other tribes and subfamilies. Fairmaire’s (1846) publication is a good example, with three of his species now belonging to Hypheodana Metcalf ( Darninae: Darnini), Carynota Fitch ( Smiliinae: Telamonini), and Heranice Stål ( Smiliinae: Polyglyptini). His placement of his fourth, Brazilian species, planeflava in Thelia, therefore, offers no clues to it’s true identity. It is also unfortunately not illustrated, as were the other species.</p><p>In his catalogue, without explanation, Funkhouser (1927) moved planeflava from Thelia to Heranice, and Goding (1929) moved it to Ophiderma Fairmaire. Schmidt (1931) discussed planeflava and ultimately included it in his key to Heranice, restating Fairmaire’s original description.</p><p>Based on Fairmaire’s description, the species’ length, and reported distribution, it is unlikely to be any of the aforementioned genera; Thelia, Carynota, and Ophiderma have Nearctic distributions (and further, Ophiderma feeds on oaks, which do not occur in Brazil). Heranice are larger and apparently confined to high elevations in the Andes Mountains, and Hypheodana are brown.</p><p>Polyglyptini often have the anterior region of the forewing coriaceous and punctate, which may be what Fairmaire considered “coated” and, while no entirely yellow species are known, most Polyglyptini genera have a slightly elevated pronotum that extends backward over the body.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9E8C30394115641EF6831C6C720B35AF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Vertex with dorsal margin sinuate. highest between ocelli and eyes; ocelli slightly closer to inner margin of eyes than to each other; frontoclypeus evenly rounded ventrally; rostrum attaining abdomen. Thorax. Posterior process of pronotum smooth and finely punctate throughout (Figs 5-7), weakly sinuous in lateral view, slightly overlapping forewings in repose. Mesonotum bare, lacking vestigial scoli. Forewing (Fig. 10) with veins R and M fused basally and strongly divergent near middle of wing, veins R4+5 and M1+2 confluent for a short distance and very strongly divergent more distally, 2 m-cu crossveins present, 1st near mid length of wing. Hind wing without r-m crossvein, veins R4+5 and M1+2 confluent for short distance and divergent beyond, anal vein unbranched. Metathoracic leg (Fig. 12) without cucullate femoral setae, tibia without cucullate setae in row 1, very few in row II (where the leg is more strongly sclerotized, as indicated by arrows, Fig. 12), first tarsomere with about eight cucullate setae scattered on plantar surface (Fig. 8). Abdomen. Lacking dorsal protrusions or smooth fossae.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Bolivia and Ecuador.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The genus is feminine and named for Dawn Flynn for her contributions to our knowledge Neotropical treehoppers.</p><p>Discussion .</p><p>Many of the aforementioned features are diagnostic for the tribe Thuridini as listed by Deitz (1975): posterior process of pronotum slightly overlapping forewings; forewing with veins R and M fused basally and strongly divergent near middle of wing; veins R4+5 and M1+2 confluent for short distance and very strongly divergent more distally; hind wing without r-m crossvein, veins R4+5 and M1+2 confluent for short distance and divergent beyond; metathoracic leg without cucullate femoral setae, tibia without cucullate setae in row I. An additional similarity of the new genus and Thuris Funkhouser is presence of about eight cucullate setae on the first tarsomere of the metathoracic leg, and the dark markings on and around the apical veins of the forewing. Some treehoppers that have scoli on the mesonotum, metanotum, or both (e.g., Alchisme Kirkaldy) have shriveled, vestigial scoli in the adults underneath the pronotum. The absence of vestigial scoli cannot be inferred to mean that the nymph lacks thoracic scoli. Nevertheless, taken together with the absence of dorsally paired processes or fossae on the abdomen, it is more likely that the nymph, unknown, may be unarmored, as is the nymph of Thuris (McKamey and Porter 2016). Until now, the tribe was composed of one genus and two species (McKamey and Porter 2016). The new genus is easily distinguished from Thuris, which has a strongly keeled pronotum posteriorly. Bolivia represents a new country record for the tribe.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B4B8FD4A89DF7514B0CE18858975C7A3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
