Carineta trivittata Walker, 1858b

Cicada trivittata Walker 1858b: 22 . ( Mexico)

REMARKS. Carineta trivittata is another of the large species heavily marked with piceous with a spot of infuscation on the end apex of hind wing anal cell 2. It can be distinguished quickly from C. pilifera by the bronzing of the fore wings and the spots of infuscation on the fore wing radial crossvein and proximal radius posterior 2 vein, and in the distal radial cell of the hind wing in C. pilifera . The lack of a spot infuscation in the hind wing and the lack of bronzing and infuscation of the fore wings quickly distinguishes C. postica . The only other species to have a spot of infuscation in the hind wing are C. centralis and C. producta both of which that can be distinguished by the infuscation along the ambient vein and spots of infuscation in distal apical cells 2–5. Carineta basalis can be distinguished by the piceous fascia on the dorsal pronotal midline, the hyaline fore wings and the large male opercula. Carineta pilifera can be distinguished by the infuscation on the fore wing radial and radiomedial crossveins.

DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, and Peru ( Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; 2014a; 2018b; 2019b). Jacobi (1907; 1951) reported the species from Pachitea, Peru.
