Wilson, M. R. ; Takiya, D. M.: Cicadellinae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae) described by Leopold Melichar in the Hungarian Natural History Museum

These are Guineotetta distensa YOUNG, 1986^. YOUNG had determined a female specimen labelled as M. biroi var. reducta as G. distensa. Five other specimens also labelled as "biroi" appear to be Resimaguina cf. bergmani YOUNG, 1986a and 3 others probably do not belong to Cicadellinae sensu YOUNG, but to a lineage closer to mileewine leafhoppers. Two additional males from Huon Gulf collected by BlRÓ and determined as "biroi' by MELICHAR are found in HNHM, their specific identity is unknown. Yotala boliviana MELICHAR, 19254: 337 [Proconiini]. Original data: Bolivia: (Budapest). Lectotype male designated YOUNG & SoÓS (1964a: 466), HNHM. Paralectotype male, MMBC. Tretogonia callifera MELICHAR, 19264: 275 [Proconiini]. Original data: Bolivia: Mapiri (Budapest). Lectotype male (dissected) herein considered to be designated by YOUNG (1968: 168), "Bolivia Mapiri/ callifera m. det L. Melichar/ Typus/ [handwritten label]/ Lectotypus [red label]", HNHM. Additional male from Mapiri (Bolivia) determined by MELICHAR, MMBC. Comments - The designation by LAUTERER Sc SCHRODER ( 1970^: 128) of a lectotype based on the MMBC specimen is considered to be invalid. As it is the case above with Coelopola adspersa var. peruviana, YOUNG, again possibly deceived by the "Lectotypus" label, did not explicitly designate a lectotype for this species in his paper (YOUNG Sc SOÓS 1964a: 466) where he did so for many other species in the HNHM. However, YOUNG does mention that he studied the male genitalia of the "lectotype", which agrees with an illustration given (YOUNG 1968a: fig. 154). Like the above-mentioned case, we consider this act a valid lectotype designation, which makes LAUTERER Sc SCHRODER'S ( 1970a: 128) designation of such specimen as lectotype invalid (in accordance of Article 74.1.1, ICZN 1999). Cardioscarta comitatula MELICHAR, 19324: 297, now Soosiulus YOUNG, 19774 [Cicadellini]. Original data: Peru: Marcapata (Budapest). Lectotype female designated by YOUNG & SOÓS (19644: 466), HNHM. No specimens found in MMBC. Sphinctogonia comitatula MELICHAR, 19264: 357 [Cicadellini]. Original data: Nord-Celebes [Sulawesi]: Toli-Toli (Budapest). Lectotype female designated by YOUNG & SoÓS (19644: 466), HNHM. No specimens found in MMBC. Cyclogonia rudiculavar. concedula MELICHAR, 19264: 349, now Rotigonalia YOUNG, 19864 [Cicadellini]. Original data: Bolivia: Mapiri (Budapest) Cochabamba (Paris, coll m.). Lectotype male designated YOUNG & LAUTERER (196Ó4: 263), MMBC. 3 paralectotypes, 1 male, 1 female, "Museum Paris, Bolivie, Cochabamba, Germain, coll. Noualhier 1898/ concedula [handwritten] det. Melichar/ Paralectotypus/ Collectio Dr. L. Melichar, Moravské Museum Brno/ MMB"; female, labels as above plus "Rotigonalia concedula (Mel.) [handwritten] d. DA Young", HNHM.
