Extract

Only recently has serious taxonomic study of the genitalia of Membracidae been undertaken. Authors such as Fowler (1894-97), Van Duzee (1908), Funkhouser (1917) and Lawson (1922) made only cursory studies or objected to the dissection and treatment necessary for such a study. Caldwell's (1949) revision of the Ceresini based on male genitalia is the first paper of its kind for the Membracidae.
