Abstract
The genus Macropsis was founded by Lewis in 1835 to hold two species, Cicada virescens Gmel., and Cicada flavicollis Linn., each being placed in a separate division. In 1837, Burmeister, while engaged in splitting up Germar'us Byihoscopus, erected the subgenera Oncopsis and Pediopsis with Macropsis Lewis as the synonym of each. No genotype was fixed for Oncopsis, but Byihoscopus tiliae Germ, was cited as the typical species of Pediopsis. Westwood, in 1840, cited Cicada flavicollis Linn, as the type of Macropsis Lewis. Burmeister's genus Pediopsis therefore became a synonym of Macropsis Lewis.| Title | A Review of the Nearctic Species of Macropsis. (Homoptera, Cicadellidae.) |
