Abstract

Four treehopper species described as members of the tribe Telamonini from South America are here assigned as follows: the Colombian species Alchisme ruficarinata (Fowler), n. comb., with n. syn. A. insolita Creão-Duarte & Sakakibara (Membracidae: Membracinae: Hoplpophorionini); Telamona celsa Goding, apparently mislabeled, is placed as a reinstated syn. under T. monticola (Fabricius). The current placement of Heliria praealta Fowler and Telamona turritella Buckton as its junior synonym is confirmed; both were described from specimens originating from Quebec, not Brazil.
