Ariasa bilaqueata (Uhler, 1903) new record

Cicada bilaqueata Uhler 1903: 7 . (Chapada, Brazil)

REMARKS.—The specimen is the first I have seen with a green pronotal collar, lateral mesonotum and lateral abdominal segment 9. The markings in the mesonotal sigillae are also highly developed. It is a tawny species marked with piceous, the abdominal pile forma n arch on the dorsal surface. The generic characters will also distinguish the lone species represented in Ecuador.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported previously from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013; 2016c; 2019b; Sanborn & Heath 2014). The new record was collected in Napo province.
