Type locality. Catamarca, Argentina.

Remarks. Delétang (1919) incorrectly transferred Tettigades lebruni Distant, 1906 to a new genus: Edholmbergia . However, the illustration of E. lebruni in Delétang (1919) clearly does not match the type specimen of T. lebruni in the BMNH and T. lebruni has been reassigned to Tettigades ( Torres 1958a) . Metcalf (1963a) synonymized T. lebruni , O. venturii Distant, 1906 , Adusella signata and Edholmbergia lebruni with O. lebruni . Odopoea venturii was considered correctly a distinct species in Duffels & van der Laan (1985). The figures of Adusella signata in Haupt (1918) and Edholmbergia lebruni in Delétang (1919) appear to depict the same species. Both are members of the genus Odopoea rather than Tettigades . Therefore, Edholmbergi is retained as a junior synonym of Odopoea despite the fact it was originally produced for a species that is now classified in the genus Tettigades . The taxon T. lebruni was misapplied to the specimen used as the type for the genus Edholmbergi. As a result, Adusella signata rev. stat. is resurrected as a valid species and reassigned to Odopoea to become O. signata ( Haupt, 1918) comb. n. The lateral extensions of the pronotum in O. signata are less expansive than O. venturii , the forewing is more ovoid, and the zig-zag pattern of infuscation along the transverse veins at the base of the apical cells may also be incomplete. It also appears to have a more southerly distribution than O. venturii with specimens being collected in Catamarca and La Rioja Provinces ( Metcalf 1963a; Goemans 2010) while O. venturii has been reported from Catamarca, Salta, and Tucumán ( Distant 1906a; Hayward 1942; Torres 1946; Hayward 1960) in Argentina extending northward through Bolivia (AFS unpublished) into Peru ( Jacobi, 1951). Therefore, we resurrect Odopoea signata as a valid species.
