Diceroprocta nigriventris ( Walker, 1858a) View in CoL

Cicada nigriventris Walker 1858a: 21 View in CoL . (Mexico)

Remarks. The green prothorax, ochraceous mesothorax marked with piceous with ferruginous lateral regions, the ferruginous timbal covers, on the piceous dorsal abdomen make the species easy to distinguish. The species can be differentiated from related species of Diceroprocta by its size (body length 22.6 mm, wing span 73.3 mm), the entire prothorax is green, the lack of markings on the dorsal mesothorax anterior to the cruciform elevation, the median uncus lobes do not curve beyond the lateral uncus lobes, the testaceous timbal covers extend well above the abdominal surface contrasting the piceous abdominal tergites. However, the southern records may represent misidentifications of D. heathi ( Sanborn 2010a) based on the known range from the type series ( Sanborn 2010a). Specimens from Panama need to be reviewed to verify the presence of this species as the descriptions in Walker (1858) are sufficiently vague so that D. bimaculata ( Sanborn 2010a) and D. heathi would also fit the descriptions provided by Walker (1858) and Distant (1881) figured an example of D. bimaculata as D. nigriventris .

Distribution. The species has been reported from Costa Rica, Mexico, and Panama ( Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013; 2014).
