“…After the publication of Young's (1977) monograph on the New World Cicadellini, new Neotropical genera of this tribe have been proposed by several authors (Mejdalani 1994;Nielson & Godoy 1995;Cavichioli 1996Cavichioli , 1998Cavichioli , 2000aCavichioli , 2000bCavichioli , 2003Cavichioli , 2010Takiya et al 2001Takiya et al , 2003Takiya & Cavichioli 2005;Freytag 2007;Cavichioli & Takiya 2012a;Mejdalani & Cavichioli 2013;Mejdalani et al 2014). Here we propose an additional new genus of Cicadellini, which is so far recorded from the Atlantic Forest of southern and southeastern Brazil (Paraná and Rio de Janeiro states).…”

The remarkable sharpshooter Prodigiella silvanoi gen. et sp. nov. is described and illustrated (including the external form, color, male and female terminalia) from the Atlantic Forest of southern and southeastern Brazil (states of Paraná and Rio de Janeiro). The new genus can be distinguished from other Neotropical genera of the Cicadellini by a combination of various morphological features, including an asymmetrical aedeagus with a bifid shaft and peculiar basal and apical processes and ovipositor valvula II distinctly expanded beyond basal curvature, its dorsal margin with 35–40 teeth, and ventral margin without preapical prominence. A discussion comparing Prodigiella with superficially similar taxa of the genera Macugonalia Young, 1977, Ruppeliana Young, 1977, and Versigonalia Young, 1977 is provided. The discovery of this peculiar new genus indicates that much collecting work in the remaining parts of the Atlantic Forest is clearly and urgently needed.

“…After the publication of Young's (1977) comprehensive monograph of the New World Cicadellini, 16 new genera of this tribe have been proposed by various authors. A complete account of the papers dealing with these new genera was recently provided by Mejdalani & Cavichioli (2013).…”

A new genus, Cavichiana, is described for a new species of Cicadellini, C. bromelicola, from Southeastern Brazil (states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo). The new genus can be distinguished from other genera of the Cicadellini by the following combination of features: (1) head deltoid, strongly produced anteriorly; (2) ocelli located distinctly anterad of anterior eye angles; (3) aedeagus tubular, elongate, its apex with a conspicuous crown of spines; (4) paraphyses with both stalk and rami elongate, rami slender and each with basidorsal dentiform projection. The new species has a distinctive color pattern. The dorsum is dark brown to black with contrasting blue to white spots. The anterior half of the fore wings has a large, circular transcommissural yellow macula bordered by a blue to white border, the anterior portion of this macula covering the scutellum. Specimens of the new species were found on leaves of bromeliads in areas of restinga (sand dune vegetation) of the Atlantic Forest of Southeastern Brazil. Other cases of association between hemipterans and bromeliads are listed and briefly discussed.
