Dellapé, Gimena, 2015, Description of the female terminalia of twenty species of Proconiini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from Argentina, Zootaxa 3915 (4), pp. 521-539 : 522

Acrogonia citrina Marucci & Cavichioli 2002

Diagnosis. Crown, pronotum and scutellum dark, with small yellow irregular spots; head triangular, apex curved slightly upward; clypeus yellow. Male: connective thin; styles thin and sharp, almost as long as subgenital plates; aedeagus subcylindrical, slightly curved, with apex bifid from basal third.

Female terminalia. Abdominal sternite VII, in ventral view ( Fig. 1 ), with lateral margins nearly parallel, lateroposterior margins broadly rounded, and posterior margin deeply emarginate, with a few macrosetae at the edges of the emargination. Pygofer, in lateral view, slightly produced posteriorly; surface with scattered microsetae and macrosetae on posterior one-third of disc. First valvifers, in lateral view, longer than tall; with small spiniform processes in posterior one-third. First ovipositor valvulae, in lateral view, short and slightly rectilinear, basal portion expanded; dorsal sculptured area formed by scale-like processes arranged in oblique lines; ventral sculptured area formed by scale-like processes arranged irregularly; apex truncate with acute median projection ( Fig. 21 ). Second valvulae, in lateral view, short and slightly rectilinear; dorsal margin of blade bearing 14 to 18 noncontiguous teeth, each tooth subtriangular, declivous posteriorly, with denticles throughout entire dorsal margin ( Fig. 41 ); size of teeth increases from proximal portion to middle region, and then decreases towards apex; ducts extending toward teeth and toward apical blade portion; apex obtuse, forming a concavity with preapical ventral prominence ( Fig. 61 ). Gonoplacs, in lateral view, with basal half narrow and slightly arcuate, and apical half short and distinctly expanded; apex acute.
