ADDITIONAL BRAZILIAN
CICADA
RECORDS
The following species have been reported from
Brazil
but were not included in the synoptic list of
Nunes
et al
. (2023)
. Current tribal affiliations are provided in parentheses for each taxon.
Guyalna aldegondae
(Kulgatz,
1902 in
Kulgatz & Melichar, 1902)
rev. stat., n. comb.
(Fidicinini),
Guyalna dyticamazona
Sanborn, 2020a
(Fidicinini)
(
Sanborn 2020a
),
Orialella boliviana
(
Distant, 1904
) (Fidicinini)
(
Sanborn 2019a
),
Carineta acommosis
Sanborn, 2020a
(Carinetini)
(
Sanborn 2020a
),
Carineta dolosa
Boulard, 1986
(Carinetini)
(
Dorval
et al
. 2011
),
Herrera castanetorquata
Sanborn, 2020a
(Carinetini)
(
Sanborn 2020a
),
Herrera melanomesochranon
Sanborn, 2019a
(Carinetini)
(
Sanborn 2019a
),
Herrera polygramma
Sanborn, 2020a
(Carinetini)
(
Sanborn 2020a
), and
Herrera sahlbergi
(
Stål, 1854
)
n. comb.
(Carinetini).Finally,
Cicada brazilensis
Metcalf, 1963b
(Cicadini)
,
Cicada melanaria
Germar, 1830
(Cicadini)
,
Cicada effecta
Walker, 1858a
(Cicadini)
, and
Cicada leucothe
Walker, 1852
(Cicadini)
were originally described from
Brazil
but are missing from the list of
Nunes
et al
. (2023)
. Specimens will need to be located to determine the correct placement of the species currently assigned to
Cicada
as the genus is primarily distributed in the western Palearctic region (
Marshall
et al
. 2018
). It should be noted that
Prosotettix sphecoidea
Jacobi, 1907
was assigned to Taphurini in
Nunes
et al
. (2023)
instead of Selymbriini where it is currently assigned (
Sanborn 2021b
).
