( Figures 7–11 ) Diagnosis. Head directed ventrally. Humeral angles auriculate, strongly extended laterally; pronotum in dorsal view gibbous, with six prominent swellings; second valvulae blade-shaped with ten teeth on dorsal surface. Description . Holotype female. Head yellow. Pronotum yellow with spotted greenish areas on humeral angles and pronotal swellings, and lighter bands around the greenish latero-posterior areas. Ventral aspect of head, thorax and abdomen yellow, legs castaneous. FIGURES 7–11. Hypheodana sakakibarai sp. nov. , holotype female (USNM). 7–9. anterior, lateral and dorsal view; 10–11. Forewing venation, second valvulae. Head. Head triangular; perpendicular to body axis in lateral view, vertex punctured; in anterior view, region between ocelli and eyes foveolate, anterior margin of vertex arcuate; eyes ovate, ocelli located closer to each other than to eyes; frontoclypeus ovoid in frontal view, truncate at apex. Pronotum. Punctate; in dorsal view, metopidium convex, medial carina percurrent, elevated from pronotal base to apex, raised above swellings; humeral angles earlike, strongly projected laterally and acuminate; six prominent lobe-like swellings: two anterior small swellings, parallel to humeral angles, separated from each other by median carina; one medial swelling above metathoracic legs, followed by one mid-posterior swelling, slightly compressed lateromesally; two latero-posterior swellings, prominent, rounded, not extended laterally beyond humeral angles; pronotum tapering distally to acute apex. In lateral view, pronotum sinuous, anterior swellings lower than mid-dorsal swelling, strongly elevated, abruptly descending toward tip of pronotum. Legs. Pro- and mesothoracic legs with two ventral longitudinal rows of cucullate setae on femora and tibiae, tibae subfoliaceus; metathoracic femur without cucullate setae; tibia with rows I and III of cucullate setae present. Forewing. Hyaline, punctate in proximal half and 1/3 of costal margin; one r-m , two m-cu , crossvein s present, two discoidal and five apical cells. Genitalia. Second valvulae blade-shaped with ten teeth on dorsal surface. Male. Unknown. Measurements (mm): length: 8.8; head width: 2.9; head length: 2.0; pronotum length: 8.6; width between humeral angles: 7.3. Material Examined. HOLOTYPE female, “ PERU │ Santa Isabella │ 9-Jul-1968 │ D. B. Ekkens │ 351” ( USNM ). Specimen pinned through the pronotum. Distribution. Peru : Santa Isabella. Etymology. This species is named to honor of Dr. Albino M. Sakakibara for his numerous contributions to our knowledge of Neotropical Membracidae . Comments . This species differs from other Hypheodana in its prominent pronotal swellings, which are larger than any other species in the tribe However, other characters such as a perpendicular and triangular head, a vertical metopidium, and an ovoid frontoclypeus support its placement in the genus Hypheodana . This is the first record of the genus in Peru .
