INTRODUCTION UGCA Georgia Museum of Natural History, Athens; USNM Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural The cicada fauna of French Guiana was recently summarized History, Washington DC; ZMHB Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin. (Sanborn 2011). Since that work, additional articles have been published describing new species (Thouvenot 2011, 2012; Boulard & Martinelli 2011). The welcoming nature of the Private collections country for scientific researchers has led to further expeditions Coll. AFSC author’s collection, Miami Shores; and continued collection of new species. Coll. MTC Marc Thouvenot collection, Lyon. The present work is the result of the collection efforts of the Société entomologique Antilles-Guyane (SEAG) to catalogue the SYSTEMATICS insect fauna of the country. I have received several shipments of specimens collected at various localities within the country for Family CICADIDAE Latreille, 1802 determination since my previous paper on the cicadas of French Subfamily CICADINAE Latreille, 1802 Guiana (Sanborn 2011). Within those shipments were the new Tribe FIDICININI Distant, 1905 species identified here. In addition, I take this opportunity to Subtribe FIDICININA Distant, 1905 correct the identification of two species from my previous work (Sanborn 2011) and to reassign species originally described Genus Fidicinoides Boulard & Martinelli, 1996 by Uhler (1903) to clarify their taxonomy. Fidicina explanata Uhler, 1903 is determined to be correctly assigned and Ariasa TYPE SPECIES. — Fidicina picea Walker, 1850 (Walker 1850: 81) bilaqueata (Uhler, 1903) has already been reassigned (Sanborn (Central America). 2007) from Uhler (1903) so that all species described in that work will be assigned correctly to currently available genera.

I have studied a syntype specimen of Cicada egregia syntype of C. obtusa meeting the characteristics of the genus in the CMNH. The species has not been discussed in the Fidicinoides (Boulard & Martinelli 1996). Thus, Cicada obtusa literature other than the original description (Uhler 1903) is determined here to be a member of the genus Fidicinoides or being catalogued by Henshaw (1903), Distant (1906a, and its synonyms, Cicada obtusa Uhler, 1903, Cicada brasil- 1912), Metcalf (1963b) or Sanborn (2013).

MARSHALL1 & KATHY B. R. HILL Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, 75 N. Eagleville Rd., Storrs, CT 06269 USA 1Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A morphologically cryptic subspecies of Neotibicen similaris (Smith and Grossbeck) is described from forests of the Apalachicola region of the southeastern United States. Although the new form exhibits a highly distinctive male calling song, it hybridizes extensively where it meets populations of the nominate subspecies in parapatry, by which it is nearly surrounded. This is the first reported example of hybridization between North American nonperiodical cicadas. Acoustic and morphological characters are added to the original description of the nominate subspecies, and illustrations of com- plex hybrid song phenotypes are presented. The biogeography of N. similaris is discussed in light of historical changes in forest composition on the southeastern Coastal Plain. Key words: Acoustic behavior, sexual signals, hybridization, hybrid zone, parapatric distribution, speciation Introduction The cryptotympanine cicadas of North America have received much recent attention with the publication of comprehensive molecular and cladistic phylogenies and the reassignment of all former North American Tibicen Latreille species into new genera (Hill et al.

  • An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna
    © Copyright Australian Museum, 2005 Records of the Australian Museum (2005) Vol. 57: 375–446. ISSN 0067-1975 An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna M.S. MOULDS Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. The history of cicada family classification is reviewed and the current status of all previously proposed families and subfamilies summarized. All tribal rankings associated with the Australian fauna are similarly documented. A cladistic analysis of generic relationships has been used to test the validity of currently held views on family and subfamily groupings. The analysis has been based upon an exhaustive study of nymphal and adult morphology, including both external and internal adult structures, and the first comparative study of male and female internal reproductive systems is included. Only two families are justified, the Tettigarctidae and Cicadidae. The latter are here considered to comprise three subfamilies, the Cicadinae, Cicadettinae n.stat. (= Tibicininae auct.) and the Tettigadinae (encompassing the Tibicinini, Platypediidae and Tettigadidae). Of particular note is the transfer of Tibicina Amyot, the type genus of the subfamily Tibicininae, to the subfamily Tettigadinae. The subfamily Plautillinae (containing only the genus Plautilla) is now placed at tribal rank within the Cicadinae. The subtribe Ydiellaria is raised to tribal rank. The American genus Magicicada Davis, previously of the tribe Tibicinini, now falls within the Taphurini. Three new tribes are recognized within the Australian fauna, the Tamasini n.tribe to accommodate Tamasa Distant and Parnkalla Distant, Jassopsaltriini n.tribe to accommodate Jassopsaltria Ashton and Burbungini n.tribe to accommodate Burbunga Distant.

Numerous instances of insects of distinct species and genera taken in the act of coition, have, from time to time been recorded in the Old World, but this appears to be the first instance of the kind reported from Australia. Mr. McGregor informs me that w ben bis attention was attracted to these insects, he at first thought he had discovered an unusually large Cicada, and it was not until he had captured them, that he discovered he had secured two Cicadas of distinct genera in the act of coition. These when taken were placed in the cyanide bottle. When captured the female was suspended to a branch, which she had firmly grasped with her legs, whilst the male was hanging head downwards, but grasping his partner round her abdomen.

  • A Note on Manna Feeding by Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Co-Operative Research Centre for Temperate Hardwood Forestry, Locked B
    JOURNAL OF NATURAL HISTORY, 1996, 30, 1185-1192 A note on manna feeding by ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) M. J. STEINBAUER Co-operative Research Centre for Temperate Hardwood Forestry, Locked Bag No. 2 Post Office, Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (Accepted 27 June 1995) The production of manna is often associated with the feeding injuries of the coreid, Amorbus obseuricornis (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Coreidae). The manna produced as a result of the injuries caused by A. obscuricornis is extremely attractive to ants and it is often taken right from underneath feeding bugs. Observations of a number of Tasmanian ant species feeding upon eucalpyt manna, suggest that this substance is an important source of carbohydrate for the ants. The possible significance of manna secretion is considered. KEYWORDS:Ants, Formicidae, Coreidae, Heteroptera, eucalypt manna, rapidly induced response, Tasmania. Introduction Manna is a saccharine secretion exuded from stems and leaves of certain trees that is produced following injury caused by insects. The exudate, which forms white nodules upon crystallizing, generally consists of 60% sugars (namely raffinose, melibiose, stachyose, sucrose, glucose and fructose), 16% water, 20% pectin and uronic acids (Basden, 1965). Manna has been recorded from a range of eucalypt and Angophora species, including Eucalyptus punctata, E. viminalis, E. mannifera, E. maculata, E. citriodora, E. tereticornis, Angophora floribunda, A. costata (Basden, 1965), Eucalyptus obliqua (Green, 1972), E. nitens (S. Candy, pers. comm.), E. regnans, E. tenuiramis, E. amygdalina x E. risdonii hybrids and E. delegatensis (pers. obs.). Manna has been shown to be produced as a result of injuries inflicted by a number of insect species (Table 1), and according to Basden (1965) could not be artificially induced.
