The cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) of Uruguay with a key to known species and comments on species of the genus Acanthoventris Ruschel including the resurrection of a previously synonymized species Author Sanborn, Allen F. text Zootaxa 2024 2024-01-15 5399 4 301 326 http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5399.4.1 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.5399.4.1 1175-5326 10517001 10B485BB-349D-4B29-85BD-BCC36CD47BF6 Proarna montevidensis Berg, 1882 Proarna montevidensis Berg 1882: 44 ( Montevideo , Uruguay ). Remarks. A specimen labeled “Typus” is deposited in the Museum f̧r Naturkunde, Berlin (personal observation). A single male from Montevideo was used in the description of the species so the specimen may be considered to be the holotype ( Berg 1882 ). Type material was previously reported to be in the Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt Universität, Berlin ( Torres 1961b ). Distribution. The species has been reported from Argentina , Brazil , and Uruguay ( Metcalf 1963a ; Duffels & van der Laan 1985 ; Sanborn 2013 ; Sanborn & Heath 2014 ; Nunes et al . 2023 ). Ruffinelli (1970) reported the species from Barra del Yucutujá and Yacaré. Ruffinelli (1970) lists Proarna capistrata Distant, 1885 as a junior synonym as proposed by Torres (1961a) . However, this species from Buenos Aires Province , Argentina has since been resurrected ( Sanborn & Heath 2014 ). The known distribution of Proarna capistrata suggests that Ruffinelli (1970) was referencing Proarna montevidensis . Material examined. “ Montevideo / Coll. Sivori ” one female ( AFSC ) .
