Dellapé, Gimena, 2015, Description of the female terminalia of twenty species of Proconiini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from Argentina, Zootaxa 3915 (4), pp. 521-539 : 530

Tapajosa doeringi (Berg 1879)

Diagnosis. Crown, pronotum, scutellum and clypeus black, with irregular yellow spots; forewings with yellow veins and cells rufous and black; hindwing with vein R2+3 complete. Male: aedeagus short and broad, curved upwards, with pair of basal processes that may be branched.

Female terminalia. Abdominal sternite VII, in ventral view ( Fig. 17 ), with lateral margins slightly concave, lateroposterior margins narrowly rounded, and posterior margin with elongated shallow median concavity; surface with numerous scattered microsetae. Pygofer, in lateral view, moderately produced posteriorly; surface with scattered microsetae, and a few macrosetae on posterior region. First valvifers, in lateral view, ovoid; with small spiniform processes on posterior region and setae on posterior margin. First ovipositor valvulae, in lateral view, slightly rectilinear; dorsal sculptured area formed by scale-like processes arranged in oblique lines; ventral sculptured area formed by scale-like processes arranged irregularly; apex acute ( Fig. 37 ), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins. Second valvulae, in lateral view, slightly rectilinear; dorsal margin of blade bearing 25 to 26 continuous teeth, each tooth subtriangular with posterior side longer, with denticles on anterior and posterior margins ( Fig. 57 ); ducts extending toward teeth and toward apical blade portion; apex rounded ( Fig. 77 ), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins; preapical ventral prominence conspicuous. Gonoplacs, in lateral view, with small spiniform processes on ventral margin; apex rounded.
