Remarks.
This is a very small Trinidadian cicada species (body length 12.20–13.50) with piceous markings of the head, thorax, postclypeus, and ventral abdomen. This is the only known species of
Herrera
where the male operculum is piceous but the piceous coloration is limited to the basal half of the operculum in this specimen. The other piceous markings are also reduced in this specimen when compared to the
type
series. However, the luteous patches on the anterior and posterior abdomen and the basal lobe appendage shape quickly identify the specimen as a member of this species.
Distribution.
The species has been reported previously from
Peru
and
Ecuador
