Description

Genus Cracenpsaltria Sanborn, 2016c

Cracenpsaltria Sanborn 2016c: 514.

TYPE SPECIES.— Cicada marginata Olivier 1790: 755. (Suriname)

REMARKS.—The type species of the genus was classified previously within Ariasa (Sanborn 2016c). However, members the genus can be distinguished by the separate, long hooked lateral uncal lobes, the angled pygofer distal shoulder, the absence of laterally expanding abdominal segments, and the length of the abdomen is greater than the distance between the apex of the head and the posterior cruciform elevation in Cracenpsaltria. Species of Cracenpsaltria also have a thinner appearance than all species of Ariasa. The contrasting coloration pattern of the Cracenpsaltria species is also different from any known Ariasa species.

DISTRIBUTION.—The genus has been recorded from Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, Peru, South America, and Suriname (Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2016c) with the first records for the genus in Ecuador recently provided (Sanborn 2019b).
