03862518FFBEFFB7FF3959CDEB2AFB7C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Robust sharpshooters with head slightly produced and broadly rounded anteriorly; ocelli located behind imaginary line between anterior eye angles, each closer to adjacent anterior eye angle than to median line of crown; epistomal suture almost always entire. Forewing with coriaceous texture; veins distinct, often elevated. Male terminalia with connective in form of transverse bar (i. e., without stalk); paraphyses absent. Female terminalia with sternite VII bearing median posterior projection or lobe. Note. The external morphology (head and thorax) of the three new species herein described and of A. unifasciata comb. nov. agrees with the above diagnosis and with the detailed description of the genus provided by Young (1977: 176). Hence, in the descriptions below, we focus on the color pattern and the terminalia of males and females.	en	Mejdalani, Gabriel, Domahovski, Alexandre C., Cavichioli, Rodney R.

03862518FFBEFFB2FF395E33EA96FBBB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Amblyscarta elianeae sp. nov. and A. souzalopesi sp. nov. are very similar to each other and apparently closely related. The former can be distinguished from the latter by the form of the aedeagus, which is slightly bisinuate and with a distinct dorsal lobe (Figs 7, 9). In A. souzalopesi, the aedeagus has the ventral margin rectilinear for most of its length and the dorsal margin almost entirely convex (Figs 24, 26). The color pattern (Figs 1, 2, 18, 19) will distinguish the two new taxa from poorly known species that were not included in Young’s (1977) key [A. cervicula (Jacobi, 1905), A. lignea (Fowler, 1899), A. modesta (Fabricius, 1803), and A. schaumi (Signoret, 1853); see digital images in Wilson et al. 1999]. In the type-locality (São José dos Pinhais, State of Paraná), A. elianeae is apparently univoltine. The first adult individuals appear in December (beginning of summer) and January, but the species has a very low population density during these months. During March (end of summer), adults become quite abundant; they disappear by the end of May. Specimens are usually found on understory plants in shady and humid parts of the forest.	en	Mejdalani, Gabriel, Domahovski, Alexandre C., Cavichioli, Rodney R.

Amblyscarta unifasciata comb. nov. can be easily recognized by the forewing with small blue spots at the basal portion (up to scutellum apex) and with a transverse, complete transcommissural whitish-blue stripe at the level of the apical portion of the clavus (Figs 51, 52, 65, the last one from the female lectotype designated by Young 1965). The orange color of the crown and pronotum (Figs 51, 52), ocelli located distinctly behind the anterior eye angles (Fig. 51), and the aedeagus expanded towards the apex and with flanges (Fig. 55) clearly indicate that this species belongs in Amblyscarta, which is thus the senior synonym of Strictogonia. Amblyscarta unifasciata is recorded from Guyana, French Guiana, and Amapá, Amazonas and Pará states in Brazil (Melichar 1926, Metcalf 1965, Wilson et al. 1999, present paper).	en	Mejdalani, Gabriel, Domahovski, Alexandre C., Cavichioli, Rodney R.
