Description

Proarna olivieri Metcalf, 1963a

Cicada albida Olivier 1790: 755. (Cape of Good Hope, Suriname)

Proarna olivieri nom. nov. pro Cicada albida Olivier, 1790 nec Cicada albida Gmelin, 1789 Metcalf 1963a: 380.

Remarks. This is the largest of the known Proarna species from Suriname. Body lengths are 22–24 mm. The quickest way to distinguish this species from the other Proarna in Suriname is the strongly curved base of the costal margin in P. olivieri while the costal margin is straight in the both P. proximorubrovenosa n. sp. and P. pulverea. In addition, the fore wing length is about 3.25X width P. olivieri but 3.15X in P. proximorubrovenosa n. sp. and 2.9X in P. pulverea.

Distribution. The reference to the Cape of Good Hope as a site of origin for the species is in error as the species has been recorded from much of the Caribbean, Central America, and northern South America. The species has been reported from Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Jamaica, Mexico, Suriname, Trinidad, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2014a; 2020e).
