Distribution patterns of Oriental Cicadoidea (Homoptera) East of Wallace's Line and Plate Tectonics

-In this work, the nymphs of Quesada gigas (Olivier) are described and illustrated. A key for the recognition of its five nymphal instars is also provided. Specimens were collected in coffee plantations in São Sebastião do Paraíso, Monte Santo de Minas and Patrimônio (State of Minas Gerais); Franca and Casa Branca (State of São Paulo). They are preserved in alcohol 80% and deposited at the collection of the Departamento de Fitossanidade da Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias da Universidade do Estado de São Paulo (FCAV/UNESP) in Jaboticabal. The characters analyzed were: antenna, wing buds, fore legs, apex of the meso and metathoracic tibiae and abdominal apex of male/ female. A formula was adopted to indicate the number and sequence of the teeth of the prothoracic femur. Q. gigas nymphs present the following formula: first instar: 2-1-0, the second: 2-1-3, the third: 2-1-5, the fourth: 2-1-6 and the fifth instar: 2-2-8. First number refers to the sum of posterior and acessory teeth, the second one refers to the number of intermediate teeth and the third refers to the teeth of femoral comb. The structures of the prothoracic femur are reliable morphological characters that can be used to identify and determine the cicada nymph instars.KEY WORDS: Cicadoidea, cicada, Coffea arabica, identification, morphology RESUMO -Neste trabalho, as ninfas de Quesada gigas (Olivier) são descritas e ilustradas. Uma chave para o reconhecimento dos cinco ínstares ninfais é também apresentada. Foram analisados exemplares coletados em cafezais dos municípios de São Sebastião do Paraíso, Monte Santo de Minas e Patrimônio (Minas Gerais), Franca e Casa Branca (São Paulo). As amostras encontram-se preservadas em álcool a 80% e depositadas na Coleção Entomológica do Departamento de Fitossanidade da FCAV-UNESP, Câmpus de Jaboticabal. Os caracteres analisados foram: antenas, tecas alares, perna anterior, ápice da tíbia meso e metatorácicas e ápice abdominal do macho/fêmea. Foi adotada uma fórmula para indicar a configuração que é apresentada pelas estruturas presentes no fêmur anterior. Ninfas de Q. gigas de primeiro ínstar apresentam fórmula femoral 2-1-0, de segundo ínstar 2-1-3, de terceiro ínstar 2-1-5, de quarto ínstar 2-1-6 e as de quinto ínstar 2-2-8. O primeiro número refere-se à somatória dos dentes posteriores e dentes acessórios, o segundo ao número de dentes intermediários e o terceiro aos dentes do pente femoral. As estruturas apresentadas pelo fêmur protorácico constituem caracteres morfológicos adequados para a identificação dos ínstares ninfais de cigarras.

“…The checklist was based on the “ The fauna of British India, including Ceylon and Burma ” (Distant 1906c) and its supplement (Distant 1916), the four catalogues which list the global cicada literature (Distant 1906b, Metcalf 1963, Duffels and van der Laan 1985, Sanborn 2014) and the material housed at the Natural History Museum, London. In addition species which have been described after 2010 were incorporated by searching Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.co.uk/) and ScienceDirect (http://www.sciencedirect.com/) using a combination of “India”, “Bangladesh”, “Bhutan”, “Myanmar”, “Nepal”, “Sri Lanka”, and “cicada” and “Cicadidae”.…”

“…The possible confusion with India has not been resolved due to specimen unavailability Kato (1932), however it is highly unlikely given the reported range (Indonesia and Malaysia). Subsequent references to India and Sri Lanka in Duffels and van der Laan (1985) and Sanborn (2014) are likely in reference to these previous misidentifications.…”

confidence: 99%

“…The type description does not give a specific locality (East Indies and the Indian Islands), while recent literature indicates that this species is confined to the Malaysian Peninsula (Lee 2014). Subsequent references to India (and Nepal) in Metcalf (1963), Duffels and van der Laan (1985) and Sanborn (2014) are likely to be based on this previous error.…”

“…Subsequent records in Duffels and van der Laan (1985), from Pringle (1955) are as a result of this misidentification.…”

BackgroundThe cicadas of the Indian subcontinent, like many other insects in the region, have remained understudied since the early part of the 20th Century, and await modern taxonomic, systematic and phylogenetic treatment. This paper presents an updated systematic catalogue of cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) from India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka, the first in over a century.New informationThis paper treats 281 species, including: India and Bangladesh (189 species), Bhutan (19 species), Myanmar (81 species), Nepal (46 species) and Sri Lanka (22 species). For each species all recognized junior synonyms are included with information on the type material and additional specimens where relevant. The global distributional range and notes on the taxonomy of each species are included where appropriate. Two lists are provided: (1) species known to occur in India and Bangladesh (treated as a geographic unit), Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka; and (2) species previously listed from these countries in error. A bibliography of species descriptions is provided, with the papers containing the original descriptions provided where copyright allows.
