Green cicadas of medium size (Figs 1-2). Head including eyes narrow, considerably less than mesonotum; supra-antennal plate meeting or nearly meeting eye; postclypeus angulate in transverse cross-section, in lateral profile angulate between ‘top’ and ‘sides’. Thorax. Pronotal collar width at dorsal midline narrow, much less than diameter of eyes; paranota confluent with adjoining pronotal sclerites, no mid lateral tooth. Cruciform elevation wider than long. Epimeral lobe not reaching operculum. Metanotum partly visible at dorsal midline. Forewings (Fig. 4) hyaline with distinct green suffusion; some 20-30 apical cells; a series of approximately 20 subapical cells; ulnar cell 3 substantially parallel to radial cell; basal cell long and narrow; costal vein (C) clearly higher than R+Sc; costa broadest a little before node; pterostigma absent; vein CuA nearly straight, weakly bowed so that cubital cell no wider than medial cell; veins M and CuA close together at basal cell but not touching; vein CuA1 divided by crossvein m-cu more or less equally; veins CuP and 1A fused in part; infuscations absent; wing outer margin greatly reduced and virtually contiguous with ambient vein. Hind wings (Fig. 5) with approximately 9-11 apical cells; no infuscation on ambient vein; width of 1st cubital cell at distal end at least twice that of 2nd cubital cell; anal lobe broad with vein 3A curved, long, separated from wing margin; veins RP and M fused basally. Foreleg femoral primary spine cylindrical, tending towards lying flat but not quite so. Male opercula clearly not meeting, distant from lateral margin of tympanal cavity, directed towards distomedial margin of tympanal cavity, clearly raised above level of tympanal cavity on its outer half; inner margin straight; apically tapering to a blunt point. Male abdomen (Fig. 3) markedly inflated, substantially hollow, obtuse; male tergites in cross-section with sides concave, lateroventrally rounded to ventral surface; male tergites 2 and 3 similar in size to tergites 4- 7; male sternites 3-7 in cross-section convex. Timbal covers absent. Timbal ribs (Fig. 6) many (approximately 11-13), regular in size and closely spaced filling entire timbal area apart from basal dome; timbals extended below wing bases.</p> <p>Male genitalia (Figs 7-10). Pygofer with distal shoulder not developed; upper lobe and basal lobe ill-defined, substantially confluent with pygofer margin; dorsal beak present and a part of chitinized pygofer. Uncus undeveloped, globular. Claspers large, dominant, claw-like, restraining aedeagus. Aedeagus with basal plate in lateral view undulated, weakly depressed on dorsal midline; in dorsal view short, tending rounded, apically indented; basal portion of basal plate directed forwards away from thecal shaft; ventral rib completely fused with basal plate; junction between theca and basal plate rigid, without a ‘hinge’; thecal shaft barely ‘S’-shaped; pseudoparameres absent; thecal apex entirely chitinised, thecal subapical cerci absent; legula absent; conjunctival claws absent; vesica retractable, vesical opening apical on theca. Male reproductive system unknown.</p> <p>Female reproductive system ditrysian; length of accessory glands unknown.</p> <p>Distinguishing features. Readily distinguished by the forewing venation, which has from 20 to 30 long apical cells and about 15 to 20 subapical cells; also the forewing usually carries a distinct green suffusion, evenly distributed. The hind wing has approximately 9 apical cells. Like many other Chlorocystini the male abdomen is markedly inflated. The head is narrow and considerably less than the width of the mesonotum. The aedeagus lacks appendages.</p> <p>Included species. Euthemopsaltria laeta sp. n. The genus is monotypic. Etymology. From the Greek euthemon, meaning well-arranged or neat and referring to the neatly arranged parallel forewing veins, and from psaltria, a traditional ending for cicada generic names probably originating from the Latin meaning a female harpist. Feminine.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EB429F5FFFAAFFF7FE61FBDEFDAAFEC3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Dodd (in South Australian Museum, Adelaide).</p> <p>Other material examined. 1 ♂, Mt Glorious State Forest, southeastern Queensland, 25.xii-2.i.87, from Argyrodendron actinophyllum [intercept flight trap] by Y. Basset (in author's collection). This specimen is indistinguishable from those of the type series but in view of its locality being so distant from other known localities it might represent another species.</p> <p>Description. Male. Head, thorax and abdomen primarily uniformly leaf green although a little paler below; underside partly pale pinkish, mainly at base of abdomen and bases of legs. Head with supra-antennal plates and anterior rim of postclypeus brown, tending paler on supra-antennal plates. Eyes of live specimens pale to light brown. Antennal plates and anterior margin of postclypeus brown, glossy. Rostrum reaching to apices of mid coxae. Timbals (Fig. 6) tending whitish with short ribs light brown; with 11-12 long parallel ribs. Forewings uniformly and strongly tinted green; basal membrane pale orange; venation as in Fig. 4 but individually variable in the vicinity of subapical cells and to a small degree in the apical cells; venation green in live specimens except for much of vein 2A+3A, which is brown. Hind wings very weakly tinted green; venation as in Fig. 5 but with some individual variation in the division of apical cells; venation very pale green. Legs green with fore tibiae brown, the joint between tibia and femur on mid and hind legs brown, all tarsi brown or mostly so, all pretarsal claws black on their distal half.</p> <p>Genitalia (Figs 7-10) with uncal lobes robust, broad in ventral view, claw-like in lateral view. Aedeagus (Figs 7-8) with theca simple and tubular, gradually tapering to apex, basally turned through 180º, convolute on inner surface; basal plate in dorsal view tending to be rounded, indented at apical midline in a V-shape.</p> <p>Female. Similar to male. Abdominal segment 9 stocky, dorsal midline clearly less than twice the length of that of tergite 8; apical spine small, blunt; ovipositor sheath not longer than abdominal segment 9.</p> <p>Distinguishing features. See generic description above.</p> <p>Measurements (mm). n = 7 males, 4 females. Length of body: male 32.6-34.8 (33.93); female 22.8-23.7 (23.25). Length of forewing: male 33.8-35.7 (34.6); female 30.0-35.9 (32.95). Width of head: male 5.2-5.6 (5.43); female 5.3-5.6 (5.45). Width of pronotum: male 7.8-8.2 (8.03); female 7.1-8.5 (7.8).</p> <p>Etymology. From the Latin laetus meaning joyful, glad, pleasant.</p> <p>Distribution and habitat (Fig. 11). Northeastern Queensland, where it is known only from the Windsor Tableland, Mount Lewis, Kuranda, Malanda and Millaa Millaa districts and the Kirrama Range. Adults have been taken in all months from December to June and at Malanda can be found throughout the year (J. Olive pers. comm.). It is a locally common species around Malanda, Millaa Millaa and on the Windsor Tableland. A single known male from Mount Glorious State Forest in southeastern Queensland may belong to this species.</p> <p>Adults usually perch amongst tangled vegetation a little beyond reach and are normally difficult to capture but occasionally they occur near ground level where they are easily taken by hand. The species is found only in primary rainforest where it tends to be locally common.</p> <p>Song. Males sing at dusk when it is almost dark and continue for some 15-20 minutes. The call is loud, resembles a constant, high-pitched whistle and most likely is a pure tone (i.e. resonates at a precise frequency); no recordings are available.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/EB429F5FFFA9FFF0FE76FF5CFEE0FA77	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
