Description

Taphura misella (Stål, 1854)

Cicada misella Stål 1854: 243. (Minas Gerais, Brazil)

REMARKS. An oddity in the genus in the male genitalia are reduced. The species can be distinguished from T. hastifera and T. nitida by the infuscation on the apex of the fore wings in these species. The simple male genitalia, very short claspers, U-shaped female sternite VII and infuscation in the middle of hind wing anal cell 3 distinguish this species from T. demissa which has extended male claspers, a V-shaped notch in female sternite VII, and lacks infuscation in the middle of hind wing anal cell 3 (Sanborn 2017a).

DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and French Guiana (Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; Sanborn & Heath 2014).

MATERIAL EXAMINED. “ Prov. del Sara / Bolivia, 450 m. / J. Steinbach // Nov. / 1909 // C. M. / Acc. 6549” one female (CMNH), “ Prov. del Sara / Bolivia, 450 m. / J. Steinbach // Carn. Mus. / Acc. 6443” one male (AFSC).
