Three new genera in Acutalini are described, two of which have two discoidal cells (R2+3 and M) in the forewing, as in Euritea Stål. Ceresinoidea zackigen. nov. et sp. nov., from Guatemala, differs from other acutalines in having a pair of suprahumeral spines and a stepwise convex pronotum in lateral view. Quinquespinosa septamaculagen. nov. et sp. nov., which is widely distributed in South America, differs in having a basal cell M and three posterior pronotal spines. Tectiforma guayasensisgen. nov. et sp. nov., from Ecuador, has the pronotum strongly tectiform throughout. A key to all genera of Acutalini is provided.

This is the first in a series of four papers reviewing the 55 species and one Incertae sedis in the genus Cladonota Stal (Hemiptera: Membracidae). The genus Cladonota contains four subgenera: Cladonota Stal, Falculifera McKamey, Lecythifera Falculifera, and Lobocladisca Stal. This paper treats the seven species of the subgenus Falculifera McKamey, which includes C. apicalis (Stal), C. benitezi Arnaud, C. bolivari (Pelaez), C. clavigera (Stal), C. luctuosa (Pelaez), C. rothschildi n. sp., and C. zeledoni (Pelaez). Cladonota rothschlidi, n. sp. is from Costa Rica. Keys, illustrations, and diagnoses are given for each species treated.
The immatures stages of 8 of the 11 genera (Amastris Stål, Bajulata Ball, Erosne Stål, Harmonides Kirkaldy, Idioderma Van Duzee, Neotynelia Creão-Duarte & Sakakibara, Tynelia Stål, and Vanduzea Goding) of the tribe Amastrini are described for the first time along with brief diagnoses of Membracidae and the subfamily Smiliinae. A key to genera and notes on biology are provided. Multiple species of most genera are illustrated. Based on its distinct nymphal morphology, Vanduzea laeta nolina Ball is elevated to specific rank as Vanduzea nolina stat. n., and Bajulata, despite the superficial similarity of its adults to those of Vanduzea, is confirmed as warranting generic rank based on its unique nymphal morphology. Colombia is a new country record for Tynelia.
Two new species of Sundarion Kirkaldy, 1904 – Sundarion flavopiceum sp. nov. (from Brazil, state of Pará, Serra Norte) and Sundarion marmoratum sp. nov. (from French Guiana, Montagne des Chevaux) – are described. The first species differs from S. flavum (Fairmaire, 1846) in having smaller supra-humeral horns, and being dark brown with a large yellow spot on each side of the posterior process. In this aspect, it resembles Alcmeone picea (Fairmaire, 1846). The second species is similar to S. flavum except for being variegate yellowish-brown. Taxonomic comments are provided for S. notabile Souza & Rothéa, 2005, which was previously known only from males, and for S. compressicornis (Fairmaire, 1846) comb. nov., originally described in Hemiptycha Germar, 1833 and latter transferred to Hemikyptha Metcalf, 1927. New geographical distribution records are provided for both species.

This is the third in a series of four papers that will treat the 55 species and one incertae sedis in the genus Cladonota Stal. The genus Cladonota contains four subgenera: Falculifera McKamey, Cladonota Stal, Lecythifera Fowler, and Lobocladisca Stal. This paper treats the 20 species of the subgenus Lecythifera Fowler, which includes: C. affinis (Fowler); C. bulbosa Flynn; C. championi (Fowler); C. costaricensis Flynn, new species; C. costata (Buckton); C. falleni (Stal); C. globonegra Flynn, new species; C. gonzaloi (Pelaez); C. grisea Flynn, new species; C. hoffmanni (Pelaez); C. inflata (Fowler); C. locomotiva (Breddin); C. machinula (Breddin) [ Hypsoprora maculata Fonesca and Diringshofen, new synonym]; C. meteorus Arnaud; C. orellana Flynn, new species; C. pieltaini (Pela ez); C. plummeri (Pelaez); C. robustula (Fowler); C. siparuna (Strumpel) and C. yucatanensis Flynn. Keys to species of the subgenus and illustrations and diagnoses are given for each species treated.
