Proarna guttulosa (Walker, 1858)

Cicada guttulosa Walker 1858b: 20 . (unknown locality)

REMARKS.—This is the largest of the Ecuadorian Proarna species with some females reaching body lengths of 31 mm or more. The costal margin is unique for the Ecuadorian species of Proarna in that it is curved from the base rather than being straight. The large body size combined with the curved costal margin makes the species fairly easy to distinguish from other Ecuadorian species of Proarna . The lack of infuscation on the nodal line of the fore wing, the more elongate body, and the narrower pronotum are also useful in distinguishing it from P. grisea and the small size and almost complete macular infuscation on the fore wing veins distinguish P. insignis from this species.

DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and South America ( Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013; 2020b) with recent records from Bolivia ( Sanborn 2019b). Goding (1925) reported the species from Macas, Morona Santiago province.
