PROC. ENTOMOL. SOC. WASH. 95(2), 1993, pp. 228-240 NEW GENUS AND FIVE NEW SPECIES OF MILEEWINE LEAFHOPPERS FROM NEW GUINEA (HOMOPTERA: CICADELLIDAE) David A. Young' Abstract.— A new genus, Archeguina (type species: Archeguina disparata, n. sp.), and five new species are described with a key to species and illustrations. The species, all from New Guinea, include A. alternata, A. spatulata, A, melanota, A. interstincta, and A. disparata. Archeguina is placed in the tribe Mileewini [subfamily Cicadellinae].-Key Words: Homoptera, Cicadellidae, leafhoppers, new species, New Guinea Introduction^ Young's (1986) treatment of the Old World Cicadellini includes notes on mor-phology, techniques, illustrations, and lo-cality data that are relevant to the present paper. Mileewa Distant, 1908, and related genera, including the new genus described below, were omitted from the 1986 work because they were considered to constitute a separate category based on the presence of only two distinct anteapical cells in the forewings (crossvein r and vein M, , 2 are absent; see Evans' 1947 description and fig-ures of Mileewanini [sic!]). The spelling of Mileewanini Evans, 1947 (type genus: Mi-leewa), is here corrected to Mileewini Evans, ' Published posthumously in memory of Dr. D. A. Young who was unable to see the manuscript through publication (see Acknowledgments). Address corre-spondence to: Lewis L. Deitz, Department of Ento-mology, Box 7613, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7613. ' On the manuscript Dr. Young noted, "I think this should be placed in the Mileewani [sic!] or very near— not in Cicadellini. There are only 2 anteapical cells." Although the tribe Mileewini (as Mileewanini, the in-correct original spelling) is currently placed in the sub-family Cicadellinae, Young (1986, p. 1) alluded to the possibility that Mileewa Distant and related genera may belong to another, but unnamed, category of rank equal to Cicadellinae.
