Carineta viridicata

Carineta viridicata
Distant 1883: 19
. (Bugaba, Panama)
Remarks.
This species is third of the large, primarily greenish
Carineta
species found in
Panama
. It is the largest of the three species with body lengths of approximately
24–27 mm
and a wingspan of about
64–74 mm
, the lower end of these ranges overlaps the largest of the other two species. The head and thorax are bright green with a more elongated green and pale ochraceous abdomen, the fore wing ulnar cell 2 is about two-thirds the length of ulnar cell 1, and the male opercula are widely separated. It differs from
C. aestiva
in the deeply sulcate postclypeus, the more angled lateral prothorax, the transverse fuscous stripe on the anterior prontoal collar, the dark ochraceous mesothorax and castaneous abdomen, the greater amount of pile especially on the ventral head and body, and the fore wing ulnar cell 2 is about seven-eighths the length of ulnar cell
1 in
C. aestiva
and differs from
C. verna
by castaneous head, the dull ochraceous mesothorax marked with piceous, and the pale castaneous abdomen, the greater amount of pile particularly on the ventral head and body, and smaller body length (
20 mm
) and wingspan (
63 mm
). This is a rainy season
cicada
with emergence recorded between early May and late July (
Wolda 1989
).
