The author has a specimen from Chaco, Carida. The taxonomic affiliation of this species was questioned by
Metcalf (1963b)
as a member of the genus
Cicada
Linné, 1758
but the specimen matches a specimen in the NHRS identified as
Fidicina xanthospila
Germar. The
species is transferred to
Bergalna
based on tripartite tarsi and lack of a point on the posterior cruciform elevation as per the
Boulard and Martinelli (1996)
key. The species was previously reported from
Brazil
(
Metcalf 1963b
).
