Dorisiana xanthospila ( Germar, 1830) n. comb.

Cicada xanthospila Germar 1830: 43 . (Brazil)

Remarks. I found a problem with the generic assignment of Bergalna xanthospila while trying to identify specimens for this study. The species was transferred to Bergalna based on the tripartite tarsi and lack of a point on the posterior cruciform elevation based on the Boulard & Martinelli (1996) key where the genus was erected ( Sanborn 2010b). However, the tripartite tarsi mean the species should be in the Guyalnina not the Fidicinini so it was mistakenly assigned to Bergalna based on misinterpretation of the genus position in key with respect to the different of the subtribes. Therefore, based on the tripartite tarsi, the head being wider than the mesonotum with eyes protruding beyond the anterior pronotum, the pronotum shorter than the mesonotum, partially visible metanotum laterally by the wing groove, an arched posterior cruciform elevation, triangular opercula not meeting along midline, a timbal cover that conceals only the lateral portion of the timbal with a concave anteromedial margin, the ventral timbal cover margin angled to the long body axis, a rounded pygofer distal shoulder, the lack of a dorsal beak, large upper pygofer lobes separated from pygofer, indistinct basal pygofer lobes, horseshoe-shaped uncus when viewed from the posterior and a tubular aedeagus, the species should be calssified in the genus Dorisiana based on the current characteristics of the genus ( Sanborn 2016a). The species is reassigned to Dorisiana to become Dorisiana xanthospila ( Germar, 1830) n. comb.

Distribution. The species has been recorded from Brazil and Colombia ( Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013).
