title: A new genus and species of Tettigarctidae from the Mesozoic of northeastern China (Insecta, Hemiptera, Cicadoidea).
abstract: A new genusMaculaprosboleof Tettigarctidae with a new speciesMaculaprosbole zhengiis described based on a complete fossil forewing from the Mesozoic of northeastern China. Due to its broad costal area and clavus,Maculaprosbole zhengigen.etsp. n.can be attributed to the subfamily Cicadoprosbolinae. This genus is similar to the generaSanmaiandHirtaprosbolein coloration pattern and forewing venation, respectively. However, it differs fromHirtaprosbolein crossvein r-m absent and apical CuA section strongly curved, running along the nodal line for a distance, andSanmaiin transverse coloration mainly focusing on the postnodal area. Herein, the prominent coloration pattern of this new taxon is discussed.
