Carineta maculosa Torres, 1948

Carineta maculosa Torres 1948: 114 . (Villa Nougués, Tucumán, Argentina)

Cicada fasciculata (non Germar) Wolda & Ramos 1992: 272, Table 17.2.

Remarks. This is the first of the three large species heavily marked with piceous with a spot of infuscation on the end apex of anal cell 2 in the hind wing. It can be quickly distinguished from C. trivittata Walker, 1858b by the spot of infuscation on the mediocubital crossvein and in the wing margin distal to apical cells 1–3 in the hind wing of C. trivittata . This species can be distinguished from the primarily ochraceous C. postica Walker, 1858b by the spot of infuscation in the distal fore wing cubital cell (absent in C. postica), the greenish rather than ochraceous head and thorax, the more extensive piceous markings, and the more dense pile in C. maculosa .

Distribution. The species has been reported from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963c; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011b; 2013; Sanborn & Heath 2014). The species was collected at Corriente Grande, Province of Bocas del Toro at 100m altitude in the forest along the Changuinola River, at Fortuna, Province of Chiriquí, at 1050 m altitude in forest habitat, at Boquete, Province of Chiriquí, at 1350 m altitude in remnant forest habitat, and Barro Colorado Island, Panama Canal Zone, 120 m altitude in lowland forest (Wolda & Ramos 1992) in Panama.
