Carineta socia Uhler, 1875

Carineta socia Uhler 1875: 285 . (Lower Amazons, perhaps near Santarem, Pará, Brazil)

REMARKS.—This is the last of a group of Ecuadorian species that are of similar size and general morphology including C. cyrili , C. dicrophryxothrix , C. gemella , and C. lichiana . The basal pygofer lobe is tapering, sinuate crossing the midline twice. It can be distinguished from all these species by the bronzing of the distal fore wings found in these species being replaced with longitudinal lines within of the fore wing apical cells in C. socia . The contrasting color of the abdomen quickly distinguishes specimens of C. gemella and C. lichiana . The pointed medial margin to the operculum of C. socia rather than the rounded medial margin distinguishes C. dicrophryxothrix .

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana and Peru ( Metcalf 1963c; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2019b; 2020b) and was recently added to the cicada fauna of Venezuela ( Sanborn 2020a). The species has been recorded from Coca, Orellana province Bucay, Guayas province, Río Lliquino, Pastaza province, Baños, Tungurahua province Balzapamba, Bolívar province, Santo Domingo de los Colorados, Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas province, La Mona, Los Ríos province, and Tanti, Pinchicha province ( Jacobi 1907a; Goding 1925).
