Genus Herrera Distant, 1905c View in CoL new record

Herrera Distant 1905c: 486 View in CoL .

TYPE SPECIES. Cicada marginella Walker 1858a: 21 View in CoL . ( Orizaba , Vera Cruz, Mexico)

REMARKS. Species of Herrera are characterized by having a head about as wide as the mesonotum, the vertex is longer than the frons, the pronotum is about as long as the mesonotum, the abdomen is about as long as the distance from the apex of the head to the cruciform elevation, small male opercula, the strongly spined fore femora, and the fore wing width being slightly more than half the fore wing length ( Distant 1905c). The fore wing width can be as little as one third in some species as this character has become more variable as more species have been described.

DISTRIBUTION. Species of the genus have been recorded previously from Argentina, Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Panama ( Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; 2014; Sanborn and Heath 2014). The first records for Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, and Peru are reported here based on the descriptions of the new species and new combinations proposed.
