Corrections and Additions to Metcalf's “The Fulgorina of Barro Colorado and Other Parts of Panama” (Homoptera: Fulgoroidea)

Derbid Planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Derbidae) Associated with Coconut and Oil Palm in Brazil

“…We obtained photographs of the type specimen of Herpis fuscovittata from the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm (NHRS-GULI000058748), which showed H. fuscovittata to be a much paler species. This specimen does not appear to match the descriptions of either of the other two species reported from South America (viz., H. chiriquensis (Fowler), reported from Guyana and Panama, and H. metcalfi O’Brien from Guyana (as British Guiana; Muir 1918 , Metcalf 1945 , O’Brien 1987 ). The specimen probably represents an undescribed species, but we have not definitively been able to exclude the described Mesoamerican species because of incomplete original descriptions and limited accessibility to type material.…”

“…Species level identifications used available keys and illustrations, and in some cases by comparison with photos of primary type material. The genus Cedusa Fowler was identified using Flynn & Kramer ( 1983 ) and Kramer ( 1986 ); Omolicna Fennah by Caldwell ( 1944 ), Fennah ( 1945 ), Halbert et al ( 2014 ), and Bahder et al ( 2019 ); Herpis Stål using Metcalf ( 1938 , 1945 ) and O’Brien ( 1982 , 1987 ); Persis Stål using Metcalf ( 1938 ) and Fennah ( 1945 , 1952 ). The status of Agoo Bahder & Bartlett was recently revised by Bahder et al ( 2020a ) from a subgenus of Omolicna to full genus status.…”
