Dellapé, Gimena, 2015, Description of the female terminalia of twenty species of Proconiini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from Argentina, Zootaxa 3915 (4), pp. 521-539 : 523

Anacuerna centrolinea ( Melichar 1925)

Diagnosis. Crown, pronotum and scutellum dark with clear longitudinal median line; in lateral view, clypeus dark with cibarial muscle impressions light colored. Male: connective Y-shaped, arms not widely divergent, stem keeled; aedeagus very short, U-shaped in lateral view, with pair of long slender tapering basidorsal processes extending porteriorly much beyond apex of shaft.

Female terminalia. Abdominal sternite VII, in ventral view ( Fig. 3 ), with lateral margins slightly concave, lateroposterior margins broadly rounded, and posterior margin with shallow medial concavity; surface with many scattered microsetae. Pygofer, in lateral view, slightly produced posteriorly; surface with microsetae, mostly concentrated along ventral portion. First valvifers, in lateral view, subtriangular; surface with small spiniform processes on posterior one-third. First ovipositor valvulae, in lateral view, slightly broadened beyond basal curvature; 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. 23 ). Second valvulae, in lateral view, slightly convex; dorsal margin of blade bearing 25 to 26 contiguous teeth; each tooth subtriangular with posterior side longer; with denticles along entire dorsal margin ( Fig. 43 ); ducts extending toward teeth; apex acute ( Fig. 63 ), with denticles on dorsal and ventral margins; preapical ventral prominence distinct. Gonoplacs, in lateral view, with small spiniform processes on ventral margin; apex rounded.
