The lanternfly genus Penthicodes: key to the species and review of the “ Ereosoma group ” with two new species and one new subspecies (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Fulgoridae) Author Constant, Jerome text Zootaxa 2010 2523 1 26 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.196336 cb567f94-9c12-419b-8b16-f0d84c0caf17 1175-5326 196336 Scamandra basigera ( Walker, 1870 ) n. comb.

Penthicodes basigera ( Walker, 1870 ) : Lallemand, 1963 : 24 , Nagai & Porion, 1996 : 20 , 30. After examination of photographs of the type specimen of Penthicodes basigera ( Walker, 1870 ) , the species is transferred to the genus Scamandra Stål, 1863 and the new combination Scamandra basigera ( Walker, 1870 ) is proposed. The precise status of S. basigera within the genus Scamandra is not discussed here as the genus requires revision but it seems very close to Scamandra rosea (Guérin-Méneville, 1834) described from Java and Sumatra. Material examined (on photo): holotype ɞ labeled [ Type ] [ basigera ] [Sumat Wallace] ( BMNH ). The species is transferred to Scamandra after the following characters ( Fig. 13C ): ( 1 ) pronotum smooth, without strong median carina; ( 2 ) number of longitudinal veins in middle of tegmina exceeding 12 while it is less than 10 (usually 6–8) in Penthicodes ; ( 3 ) absence of an elongate cephalic process; ( 4 ) presence of a basal tubercle on hind tibiae ( Lallemand, 1963 ). Distribution: Sumatra. Note: Nagai & Porion (1996) erroneously stated that the type specimen of P. basigera was missing in the collections of the BMNH.
