Description

Genus Parnisa Stål, 1862

Cicada (Parnisa) Stål 1862: 21.

Type species. Cicada (Parnisa) biplagiata Stål 1862: 21. (Brazil)

Remarks. Species of Parnisa are characterized by five apical cells in the hind wings, ocelli that are well separated from the base of the head, and the distinct postcostal area of the fore wing (Distant 1906). The entire original generic description is based on structures of the fore wing (Stål 1862). The lateral surfaces of the pronotum are parallel for most of their length.

Distribution. Species of the genus have been reported previously from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963b; Sanborn 2013; Sanborn & Heath 2014) with the first record for Bolivia reported recently (Sanborn 2019a).
