Carineta trivittata Walker, 1858b

Cicada trivittata Walker 1858b: 22 . (Mexico)

Remarks. This is the third of the three large species heavily marked with piceous with a spot of infuscation on the end apex of anal cell 2 in the hind wing. It can be quickly distinguished from C. postica and C. maculosa by the spot of infuscation on the mediocubital crossvein and in the wing margin distal to apical cells 1–3 in the hind wing of this species. This is a dry season cicada ( Wolda & Ramos 1992).

Distribution. The species has been reported from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, and Peru ( Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; 2014). The species has been reported from Volcan de Chiriqui in Panama ( Distant 1883). The species was collected at Guadalupe Arriba, Province of Chiriquí at 22000m altitude in a wet cloud forest, and at Boquete, Province of Chiriquí, at 1350 m altitude in remnant forest habitat ( Wolda & Ramos 1992) in Panama.
