Description

Genus Carineta Amyot & Audinet-Serville, 1843 new record

Carineta Amyot & Audinet-Serville 1843: 482.

Type species. Cicada formosa Germar 1830: 45. (Brazil)

Remarks. Characteristics of the genus include a head narrower than mesonotum, frons as long as or slightly longer than vertex, pronotum considerably shorter than mesonotum, and fore wing width about one-third fore wing length (Distant 1906). It is the New World genus with the greatest known alpha diversity that continues to increase with recent studies (Sanborn 2017b; 2018; 2019a, b; 2020a, b, d). The genus is in need of a comprehensive review.

Distribution. The genus Carineta is the most speciose in the New World. Species of the genus have been reported from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, and the West Indies (Metcalf 1963b; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011a, b; 2013; 2014; 2017b; 2018; 2019a, b; 2020a, b, d, e; Sanborn & Heath 2014). These records represent the first report of the genus in Trinidad and Tobago and the two species represented double the number of insular species of the genus found in the Caribbean (Sanborn 2017b).
