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 all but C. centralis and C. producta by the spot of infuscation near the distal hind wing radial cell combined with a series of linear spots in the fore wing margin in C. centralis . It can be distinguished from C. fimbriata and C. producta by the infuscation on the fore wing crossveins in these species and from C. trivittata which lacks the infuscation along the ambient vein and spots of infuscation in the distal apical cells 2–5 found in C. trivittata .
