Neotropical spittlebugs related to Neaenini (Hemiptera, Cercopidae) and the origins of subfamily Cercopinae Author Andrew Hamilton, K. G. text Zootaxa 2016 4169 2 201 250 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4169.2.1 d1fbe4b3-de10-4d72-a117-aa6bfedf210d 1175-5326 262585 B8B067BF-F6E6-4122-B884-AA385FF04421 Tomaspisinella (s.s.) parva Lallemand , description of male Diagnosis. Male resembling female but darker, t egmina with a chain of 4 white spots extending from costa to claval suture, most clearly broken in middle. Description. Male pygofer as in T. ( Hemitomaspis ) caligata ( Carvalho & Webb 2005, fig. 4e ) but slightly longer, in ventral aspect globose, deeply notched medially ( Fig. 28 D); male theca with short, divergent apical processes ( Fig. 28 C). Length: male 6.8 mm , female 6.5 mm . Remarks. The female holotype of T. parva from Ecuador has the entire postpedicel densely pitted ( Fig. 19 B) in contrast to that of a male ( Fig. 19 A), also from Ecuador : Napo , 6 km E Misahualli , Jatun Sasha Res. 450m , 30 April–8 May 2002 ( S.M. Paiero ) #debu00178285 in UDEL . This might represent an unrecognized species but might possibly be sexually dimorphic; however, when this occurs in other Cercopoidea it is usually the male rather than the female that has larger and more numerous antennal pits.
