Description

Zammara strepens Amyot & Audinet-Serville, 1843

Cicada tympanum Palisot de Beavois 1813: 132.

Zammara strepens Amyot & Audinet-Serville 1843: 469 nom. nov. pro Cicada tympanum Palisot de Beauvois, 1813 [nec Cicada tympanum Fabricius, 1803b].

Type locality. Santo Domingo, Brazil.

Remarks. Previous records for Z. tympanum (Fabricius) in Argentina appear to be references to the invalid Cicada tympanum Palisot de Beauvois, 1813. The previous records for Z. tympanum (Metcalf 1963a) are from northeastern Argentina where the specimens studied were collected. Zammara strepens is also distributed in southeastern Brazil (Amyot & Audinet-Serville 1843; Metcalf 1963a). Zammara tympanum appears to be a more northernly distributed species with records from Brazil, Peru, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2006b; 2011b; 2013). Zammara strepens has been reported from Argentina, Brazil, and French Guiana (Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2011b; 2013; Sanborn et al. 2011a) but no specific locations within Argentina were provided. We collected the species in the understory of the Paranense floristic province (Sanborn et al. 2011a).

New provincial records. Misiones, Cataratas, 24-XII-1986, J.E. & M.S. Heath Coll. (one male, MSHC); Misiones, Campo Viera, F.H. Walz, XII–1955 (one male, FSCA, one male AFSC); Misiones, Parque Nacional Iguazú, Research Station CIES, 185 msnm, 6-I-2008, HG/ Search, S 25 o 40.733’ W 54 o 26.972’, Moulds, Hill, Marshall & Goemans 08.AR.MN.IES (15 males and 11 females, UCMS).
