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

Ichthyobelus bellicosus MELICHAR, 1925^: 361 [Proconiini]. Original data: Peru: Vilcanota (Budapest), Pachitea (Paris) & coli Haupt Bolivia: Coroico (coll. m.) m & f . Lecto­type male and 4 paralectotypes designated by YOUNG & LAUTERER (1966^: 262), MMBC. Para­lectotype male without head, "Peru Vilcanota/ bellicosus m det L. Melichar/ Typus", HNHM. Microgoniella bilineata MELICHAR, 195la: 97, nowJuliaca MELICHAR, 1926^ [Cicadellini]. Original data: Peru: Callanga (coll m.) Vilcanota (Budapest). Syntype male (dissected), "Peru Vilcanota/ Metascarta bilineata m [handwritten]", determined as Microgoniella bilineata by YOUNG, HMHM. Syntype female, "Peru Callanga/ bilineata m [handwritten] det. Melichar/ Typus/ Lectotypus", determined as Juliaca bilineata by YOUNG in 1971, MMBC. Comments - YOUNG (1977a) mentions that his interpretation of "Micro­goniella bilineata Melichar is based on a specimen from Callanga, Peru, from MMB [=MMBC], determined by Melichar. The male genitalia are like Juliaca huasima, n. sp." However, the specimen from the MMBC is a female, therefore no male genitalia could have been studied, therefore his true interpretation seems to be based on the male specimen from Vilcanota in the HNHM, which he determined himself. Erythrogonia biroi MELICHAR, 1926^: 393, removed from Erythrogonia MELICHAR, 1926a (MEDLER 1963) Original data: New Guinea: Sattelberg im Huon Golf, collected by L. BIRÓ (Bu­dapest). Lectotype female, "N. Guinea Biró 1899/ Sattelberg huon-Golf/biroi m det L. Meli­char/Erythrogonia biroi M (handwritten)", HNHM. Lectotype herein designated. Comments - MELICHAR (1926a) reluctantly included this species in the genus Erythrogonia. However, MEDLER (1963) excluded this species from Erythrogonia in his revision of this genus, after studying what he claimed to be the "type", but not giving any further details on the actual specimen he studied. MEDLER (1963) referred this species (and others excluded from Erythrogonia) to the genus Tettigella CHINA et FENNAH, 1945a placing E. biroi in the subfamily Cicadellinae sensu lato. A single female in the HNHM labeled as E. biroi agrees with the original description and is clearly labeled with the above data. This female is herein designated as the lectotype in order to establish the true identity of this species, action which make it possible to place it properly. Based on the external morphology, the lectotype appears to belong to the Deltocephalinae tribe Drabescini (=Paraboloponini, following DIETRICH & RAKITOV 2002, DMITRIEV 2004) as suggested by their marginal ocelli, antennái position close to dorsum, transverse carinae on the transition crown-face (see Figs 1—2). Based on external morphology and coloration, this species seems to be congeneric with Mysolisflavidorsum WALKER, 1869 (ZHANG & WEBB 1996), to specimens of which the lectotype was compared. While it is not conspecific
