Remarks.
The identifications of “nr.
cachla
” are considered valid as the already described species. The body is green with much greater piceous markings than other species of
Dorisiana
in
Panama
. The piceous pile on the abdomen forms a distinct arch on the dorsal and lateral tergites from tergites 3–7. It is also the only Panamanian species of
Dorisiana
to have a piceous abdominal tergite 1. This is a dry season
cicada
with emergence between mid-January and early May (
Wolda 1989
). The population at Las Cumbres became active earlier than on Barro Colorado Island (
Wolda 1993
).
Distribution.
The species has been recorded previously from
Costa Rica
(
Metcalf 1963a
;
Sanborn 2013
). Localities in
Panama
of what was previously reported as “nr.
cachla
” include Barro Colorado Island,
Panama
Canal Zone,
120 m
altitude in lowland forest (
Wolda 1989
;
Wolda & Ramos 1992
), Las Cumbres,
15 km
north of
Panama
City
(
Wolda 1989
), and Las Cumbres, Province of
Panama
,
150 m
altitude in secondary growth forest (
Wolda & Ramos 1992
) in
Panama
but the population at at Las Cumbres has since gone extinct (
Wolda 1993
).
