Proarna hilaris ( Germar, 1834) View in CoL View at ENA new record

C[icada] hilaris Germar 1834: 69 View in CoL . ( Australia?)

Cicada subtincta Walker 1850: 147 View in CoL . (Assam)

Cicada albiflos Walker 1850: 148 View in CoL . ( Cuba)

Cicada tomentosa Walker 1858a: 22 View in CoL . ( Saint Thomas Island)

Remarks. The type locality was listed as questionable with the original Description. The species is not an Australia species but is found in much of the Caribbean basin. It could be considered the cicada most characteristic of the Caribbean based on its wide-ranging distribution limited to Caribbean islands and adjacent maqinland areas. It is the smaller species of Trinidadian Proarna with body lengths of 17–18 mm. The costal margin is straight at the base in this species instead of curving as it does in the larger Proarna olivieri Metcalf, 1963a .

Distribution. The species has been reported previously from the Antilles, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Thomas, St. Vincent, Venezuela, Virgin Islands, and the West Indies ( Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013) with the first records for Anegada, Antigua, Grenada, Canoun Island, Mayreau Island and Union Island in the Grenadines, Little St. James, Little Thatch Island, Montserrat, Mosquito Island, St. Kitts, and Trinidad listed below.
