Description of three new species of Rotigonalia Young (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae), with a key to the species

Three new species of Rotigonalia Young are described: R. larissae sp.n., R. olivacea sp.n. and R. curvula sp.n. They were collected in Vilhena (Rondônia State), Cárceres (Mato Grosso State) and Jacareacanga (Pará State), respectively. These new species are similar to R. concedula (Melichar, 1926), differing in the form of the aedeagus and paraphyses. These four species present the base of clypeus swollen, forming two great lateral lobes. A new key to the species is presented.
