The American tribe Proconiini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) is one of the largest groups of xylem-feeding insects and includes the majority of the known vectors of xylem-born phytopathogenic organisms. The significance of the pathogens that this group transmits gives them an important role as pests, mostly for citrus fruit, grapes, and almonds. Knowledge of these Hemiptera in Argentina is insufficient and fragmentary. Thus one of the aims of this paper is to summarize the available information of the Proconiini sharpshooters in Argentina. In addition, 14 species are mentioned for the first time in the country, and new distributional data are given for 18 species. Thirty-four new associations between sharpshooters and host plants are recorded. New records of egg parasitoids are given for Dechacona missionum, Molomea consolida, M. lineiceps, and Tapajosa similis.
美洲 Proconiini 部落（半翅目：叶蝉科：叶蝉亚科）是木质部取食昆虫中最大的群体之一，包括大多数已知的木质部起源的植物病原生物的载体。该群体传播的病原体的重要性使它们成为主要的害虫，主要针对柑橘类水果、葡萄和杏仁。阿根廷对这些半翅目昆虫的了解不足且零散。因此，本文的目的之一是总结阿根廷 Proconiini 叶蝉的现有信息。此外，有 14 种叶蝉在该国首次被提及，并提供了 18 种叶蝉的新分布数据。记录了 34 种叶蝉与寄主植物之间的新组合。还记录了对 Dechacona missionum、Molomea consolida、M. lineiceps 和 Tapajosa similis 的卵寄生蜂的新记录。
