Description

Fidicina mannifera (Fabricius, 1803a)

Cicada plebeja Linnaeus 1767: 707 (non Scopoli, 1763).

Tettigonia mannifera Fabricius 1803a: 36.

Cicada cantatrix Germar 1830: 41.

Fidicina rana Walker 1850: 88.

Fidicina excavata Walker 1850: 92.

Fidicina divisa Walker 1858a: 16.

Fidicina africana Metcalf 1955: 267.

Type locality. South America.

Remarks. The previous references to Fidicina mannifera (Fabricius) from Misiones (e.g., Torres, 1946; Sanborn et al. 1995b) are now considered to be F. torresi as the type locality for F. torresi is Misiones and our specimens fit the description of F. torresi. Specimens which historically were identified as F. mannifera were split into multiple species and genera by Boulard & Martinelli (1996). Previously the species was known from the Antilles, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Surinam (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 185; Boulard & Martinelli 1996; Sanborn 2010a; 2011a; 2011b) and had a more northerly distribution. The records from Paraguay also need confirmation as the specimens reported from Paraguay were collected across the Paraná River from the type locality and other collecting sites in Misiones for F. torresi (Sanborn 2011a). The specimen of F. mannifera reported from Tucumán (Hayward 1960) is considered a misidentification as it is significantly out of range of the taxon, the specimen probably belongs to F. affinis which has been recorded from neighboring provinces (Haupt 1918).
