Zammara tympanum
(Fabricius, 1803)
[
Tettigonia]
tympanum
Fabricius 1803b: 40
.
Type
locality
.
Brazil
.
Remarks
. As stated in the analysis of
Z. strepens
, the references to
Z. tympanum
probably relate to
Z. tympanum
(
Palisot de Beauvois, 1813
)
which is a junior synonym of
Z. strepens
. The references to locations for the species are only “
Argentina
” (
Metcalf 1963a
).
Zammara tympanum
has been recorded from
Belize
,
Honduras
,
Guatemala
,
Costa Rica
,
Colombia
,
Brazil
,
Peru
and
Paraguay
(
Metcalf 1963a
;
Duffels & van der Laan 1985
; Sanborn 2010; 2011a). The records from
Paraguay
also appear to be
Z. strepens
(Sanborn 2011a)
. We remove the species until specimens of the true
Z. tympanum
can be verified from
Argentina
.
