Description
Genus Herrera Distant, 1905c
Herrera Distant 1905c: 486.
Type species. Cicada marginella Walker 1858a: 21. (Orizaba, Vera Cruz, Mexico)
REMARKS. Distant (1905c) distinguished species of Herrera as those possessing a head about as wide as mesonotum, vertex longer than frons, pronotum being about as long as mesonotum, abdomen about as long as distance from apex of the head to posterior cruciform elevation, small male opercula, strongly spined fore femora, and fore wing width being slightly more than half fore wing length. The fore wing width can be as little as one third in some species as this character has become more variable as more species have been described. The diversity and range of the genus was more than doubled recently with the description and reassignment of multiple species (Sanborn 2019b, c).
DISTRIBUTION. Species of the genus have been recorded from Argentina, Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Panama (Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; 2014; Sanborn and Heath 2014). The first records for Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, Peru (Sanborn 2019b, c; 2020b), and Venezuela (Sanborn 2020a) were reported only recently.
