Remarks.
The species was reported at Boquete, Province of
Chiriquí
, at
1350 m
altitude in remnant forest habitat by
Wolda & Ramos (1992)
. However, these are considered misidentifications of
Carineta maculosa
.
Torres (1948)
identified the species illustrated as
C. fasciculata
in
Jacobi (1907)
as
C. maculosa
.
Torres (1948)
further corrected identifications of examples of northern
Carineta
species as his new species.
Martinelli & Zucchi (1997)
illustrate the distribution of
C. fasciculata
. The species appears to be restricted to grassland, savannah, open forest habitats, xeric shrublands and agricultural areas (as defined by
Leeuwen
et al.
2013
) of eastern and southern
Brazil
, northeastern
Argentina
, eastern
Paraguay
and northeastern
Bolivia
(
Martinelli & Zucchi 1997
). The reference to
Colombia
(
Apolinar 1946
;
Jacobi 1907
) and
Ecuador
(
Jacobi 1907
) were made before
Torres (1948)
described his species and Jacobi was shown by Torres to confuse the taxa as Jacobi illustrated the taxon he considered
C. fasciculata
. The reference in
Wolda & Ramos (1992)
to
C. fasciculata
was collected at the same locality as the specimen of
C. maculosa
reported in the paper. Based on these data, the records of
C. fasciculata
in
Panama
are considered
C. maculosa
and
C. fasciulata
is removed from the
cicada
fauna of
Panama
.
Distribution.
The species has been reported from
Argentina
,
Bolivia
,
Brazil
,
Colombia
,
Ecuador
,
Panama
, and
Paraguay
(
Metcalf 1963c
;
Duffels & van der Laan 1985
;
Maccagnan & Martinelli 2011
;
Sanborn 2011b
;
2013
). The previous records in
Colombia
,
Ecuador
and
Panama
are considered misidentifications of
Carineta maculosa
as the species appears to be distributed in southern and eastern South America as described above.
