Record of Carineta Amyot and Audinet-Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera: Cicadidae: Cicadettinae: Carinetini) in Goiás State, Brazil

Abstract

Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are insects characterized mainly by the sound they emit, which makes their presence evident in natural and urban areas. Beyond this, we know little about the species that occur in the neotropical region, including Brazil. This is the first report of species of Carineta in Goiás State, Brazil. The collections were made with light traps in two close localities in the core area of the Cerrado biome. We sampled the species Carineta durantoni Boulard, 1986, C. gemella Boulard, 1986, C. rufescens (Fabricius, 1803) and C. spoliata (Walker, 1858). Images of these species and their current distribution are presented here.
