Description

Genus Zammara Amyot & Audinet-Serville, 1843

TYPE SPECIES.— Tettigonia tympanum Fabricius 1803: 40. (Brazil)

REMARKS.— Goemans (2016) recently revised the genus but has not published his analysis formally. The species of Zammara can be distinguished from all other genera of the Zammarini by the two tarsomeres possessed (Goemans 2010).

DISTRIBUTION.—Species of the genus inhabit most of the continental Neotropics with records from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011a, b; 2013; 2014a; 2018c; 2019b; 2020b; Sanborn & Maes 2012; Maes et al. 2012; Sanborn & Heath 2014; Goemans 2016).
