REMARKS.
The species is intermediate in body size (body length about
31.5 mm
, wingspan about
114 mm
) for the genus, has a rounded apex of the postclypeus when viewed from the dorsal side, and the fore wing radial crossvein is separated from the radiomedial crossvein by less than twice the length of the radial crossvein (
Torres 1960
). The addition brings the known cicada diversity of
Peru
to 115 species (
Sanborn 2020a
).

Brazil
