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

REMARKS. Torres (1948a) described his species from specimens collected in western Argentina. Torres (1948a) included specimens identified by Jacobi (1907) as C. fasciculata as his new species. I followed Torres’ conclusion using C. maculosa and/or removing C. fasciculata from the cicada fauna replacing it with C. maculosa in the faunal lists of Venezuela ( Sanborn 2007b), Colombia ( Sanborn 2010b) and Panama ( Sanborn 2018c) and the presence of the Germar specimen of C. fasciculata supports this conclusion.

This is another of the 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. centralis and C. trivittata by the bronzed fore wings and spot of infuscation in the distal radial cell of the hind wing. Carineta cristalinea can be distinguished by the longitudinal marks in the distal apical cells of the fore wings. The most similar species is C. pilifera but this species is more slender, the longitudinal marks on the postclypeus are restricted to the apex on the ventral surface, the scutes on either side of the pronotum midline anterior to the pronotal collar are round rather than triangular and the pronotal collar is narrower.

DISTRIBUTION. Based on the revised concept of the species as outlined above, the species has been reported from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963c; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011b; 2013; 2018c; Sanborn & Heath 2014) with the first records for Bolivia reported here.
