Taxonomic notes on Mahanarva (Ipiranga) (Hemiptera, Cercopidae) with description of a new species Author Paladini, Andressa Author Cavichioli, Rodney Ramiro text Zootaxa 2014 3861 5 479 486 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3861.5.5 3e6cdb3a-c369-402a-a3f5-d56a6cbf86ff 1175-5326 231069 036F0632-53BE-45EC-A8DF-A4B1DBB1F9A9 Luederwaldtia rubripennis Schmidt Luederwaldtia rubripennis Schmidt, 1922 : 262 . Syntypes : 3 males and 3 females examined in the Natural History Museum, London. Mahanarva ( Mahanarva ) rubripennis ( Schmidt, 1922 ) ; Fennah (1968) Mahanarva ( Ipiranga ) rubripennis ( Schmidt, 1922 ) comb. nov. Diagnosis. Head black, vertex rectangular and smooth, postclypeus inflated and convex in profile, with one low longitudinal carina; thorax, legs and abdomen dark black; tegmina sanguineous red, with apical cells on apical plexus of vein black. Remarks. Mahanarva ( Mahanarva ) rubripennis is transferred to the subgenus Ipiranga because this species has the same tegminal proportion as the species of Ipiranga , the postclypeus is convex and not angulated as in Mahanarva ( Mahanarva ) , and the rostrum is short, not reaching the mesocoxae. In addition, the shape of the genitalia is closer to the species included in Ipiranga than to those included in Mahanarva . A cladistic analysis of Kanaima by Paladini et al. (2008) showed that Mahanarva ( Ipiranga ) rubripennis is nested inside the clade of Ipiranga , consistent with this classification. Distribution.
