Cicada clarisona
Hancock, 1834
nomen nudum
, revised status
Cicada clarisona
Hancock 1834: 20
(Georgetown,
British Guiana
).
Remarks.
Metcalf (1963b)
lists
Cicada clarisona
Hancock, 1834
as a valid species in his list of species of uncertain position in the genus
Cicada
Linnaeus, 1758
. However,
Hancock (1834)
lists only the name, location, and information on the acoustic behavior of the species. The lack of any description or other indication as outlined under the
Code
in this publication means the name is unavailable under Article 12 of the
International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
(ICZN 1999). Therefore, the status of the species is hereby revised to a
nomen nudum
to become
Cicada clarisona
Hancock, 1834
nomen nudum
,
revised status
. Since the species is now unavailable, it is removed from the cicada fauna of
Guyana
.
