Abstract: Fidicina torresi Proarna dactyliophora Proarna praegracilis Dorisiana drewseni Ariasa nigrovittata A current checklist ofChonosia the Paraguayan crassipennis fauna is provided. The first records of Boulard and Martinelli, 1996, Berg, 1879, Berg, 1881, (Stål, 1854), Distant, 1905, and (Walker, 1858) for Paraguay are given. The new records increase the known cicada diversity 37.5% bringing the total number of cicada species reported in Paraguay to 22 species in 12 genera representing five tribes and three subfamilies of the family Cicadidae. There are currently no known endemic species.
