Dorisiana cachla ( Distant, 1899) new record

Fidicina cachla Distant 1899: 112 . (Costa Rica)

Dorisiana nr. cachla Wolda 1989: 438 –440 , Figs. 1–3 , Tables 1–2.

Dorisiana nr. cachla Wolda & Ramos 1992: 272 –273 , Fig. 17.1, Table 17.1.

Dorisiana nr. cachla Wolda 1993: 371 , 374–379, Fig 6 .

Remarks. The identifications of “nr. cachla ” are considered valid as the already described species. The body is green with much greater piceous markings than other species of Dorisiana in Panama. The piceous pile on the abdomen forms a distinct arch on the dorsal and lateral tergites from tergites 3–7. It is also the only Panamanian species of Dorisiana to have a piceous abdominal tergite 1. This is a dry season cicada with emergence between mid-January and early May ( Wolda 1989). The population at Las Cumbres became active earlier than on Barro Colorado Island ( Wolda 1993).

Distribution. The species has been recorded previously from Costa Rica ( Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013). Localities in Panama of what was previously reported as “nr. cachla ” include Barro Colorado Island, Panama Canal Zone, 120 m altitude in lowland forest ( Wolda 1989; Wolda & Ramos 1992), Las Cumbres, 15 km north of Panama City ( Wolda 1989), and Las Cumbres, Province of Panama, 150 m altitude in secondary growth forest ( Wolda & Ramos 1992) in Panama but the population at at Las Cumbres has since gone extinct ( Wolda 1993).
