Sanborn, Allen F., 2019, The cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) of Bolivia including the descriptions of fifteen new species, the resurrection of one genus and two species, seven new combinations, six new synonymies, and twenty-eight new records, Zootaxa 4655 (1), pp. 1-104 : 95

Herrera quinimaculata (Sanborn, 2011a) n. comb.

Carineta quinimaculata Sanborn 2011a: 399 .

( 1 km S Amazon Nature Lodge, 30 km SE Roura on Kaw Rd., 04º32.961’N, 052º12.830’W, French Guiana )

REMARKS. I found the same problem with the generic assignment of Carineta guianaensis while trying to identify specimens for this study. I (2011a) reported the head width (6.08 mm) being greater than the mesonotum width (5.45 mm) for this species as well, a characteristic of Herrera not Carineta . In addition, the lateral pronotum is not strongly angled mediad in this species as it is in species of Carineta . Therefore, based on the head being wider than the mesonotum and the shape of the prothorax, the species is reassigned to Herrera to become Herrera quinimaculata (Sanborn, 2011a) n. comb.

DISTRIBUTION. The species has been recorded from French Guiana (Sanborn 2011a).
