Zammara calochroma Walker, 1858a

Zammara calochroma Walker 1858a: 4 . (Bogotá, Colombia)

Zammara callichroma Stål 1864: 57 . (Vera Cruz, Mexico)

REMARKS.— Goemans (2016) showed the record of Z. calochroma attributed to Ecuador by Goding (1925) was erroneous. Goding (1925) considered Z. calochroma and Z. smaragdula, a species that inhabits Ecuador (see above), as synonyms. The reference by Goding (1925) to Z. calochroma is considered a misidentification of Z. smaragdula and Z. calochroma is removed from the cicada fauna of Ecuador.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013; 2014a; 2018c; Goemans 2016). However, the records from Ecuador and Venezuela are considered erroneous identifications of Z. smaragdula Walker, 1858b (Goemans 2016) .
