Two new species and two new records for cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) from French Guiana, with an updated faunal list of French Guiana and the first synoptic list for Guyana

ALLEN F. SANBORN

Abstract: Zammara conflutrimacula n. sp. and Fidicinoides ininiensis n. sp. are described as new. The first records of Guyalna polypaga Sanborn, 2019 and Taphura dolabella Sanborn, 2017 are reported for French Guiana. Cicada clarisona Hancock, 1834 nomen nudum, revised status, is shown to be unavailable. The first synoptic list of cicadas for Guyana is provided. The currently known cicada fauna for French Guiana is 73 species, 20 genera, five tribes, and three subfamilies. The known fauna of Guyana is 12 species, nine g… Show more

A synoptic list and key of the cicadas of Uruguay is provided to complete the country lists of the South American cicada fauna. Fidicina gastracanthophora Berg, 1879 is shown to be a distinct species, is resurrected from junior synonymy, and reassigned to a new genus to become Acanthoventris gastracanthophora (Berg, 1879) revised status, n. comb. The species is redescribed to facilitate differentiating it in its new genus. The female of Acanthventris drewseni (Stål, 1854), the type species of the genus, is described and illustrated. The known ranges of Acanthoventris charrua Ruschel (in Ruschel et al.), 2023, A. drewseni (Stål, 1854), A. iara Ruschel (in Ruschel et al.), 2023, A. igneus Ruschel (in Ruschel et al.), 2023, and A. olivarius Ruschel (in Ruschel et al.), 2023 are expanded. The currently known cicada fauna for Uruguay is determined to be 12 species, 10 genera, four tribes and three subfamilies, the lowest known alpha diversity of any South American country.

A summary and the known distributions of the cicadas of the Lesser Antilles sensu lato are provided. Fidicina guadeloupensis n. sp. from Guadeloupe and Herrera castaneanigricula n. sp. from Martinique are described as new. Carineta acclivis Sanborn, 2017b and Carineta martiniquensis Davis, 1934 are reassigned to become Herrera acclivis (Sanborn, 2017b) n. comb. and Herrera martiniquensis (Davis, 1934) n. comb. A total of 23 species, 13 genera, four tribes and two subfamilies are known to inhabit the various island chains with seven species being endemic to a single island. The majority (15 species) is found in the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago. More than half of the genera (eight) and species (12) represented in the Lesser Antilles are members of the Fidicinini Distant, 1905a. Herrera Distant, 1905b is the most diverse genus with five species recorded from the region, Proarna Stål, 1864 is also well represented with four species. Proarna hilaris (Germar, 1834) is the species with the greatest range expanding from the Virgin Islands to Trinidad in the Lesser Antilles. Finally, a key to the known cicada species of the Lesser Antilles is provided.
