description: Dorisiana metcalfi Sanborn & Heath, 2014
Cicada viridis Olivier 1790: 754. (Suriname)
Dorisiana metcalfi Sanborn & Heath 2014 nom. nov. pro Cicada viridis Olivier, 1790 nec Cicada viridis Linnaeus, 1758: 60.
REMARKS. Metcalf (1952; 1963a) and many other authors considered a large number of species to be synonyms of Dorisiana semilata (Walker, 1850). Included in this list of species is D. metcalfi. However, there are distinct genitalia and other morphological characteristics represented by Cicada viridis Olivier, 1790 from those of D. semilata so Sanborn & Heath (2014) provided a replacement name for the taxon represented by C. viridis. Specimens from Suriname (the type locality of C. viridis) are required in order to determine definitively if D. metcalfi and D. semilata are synonyms and the current concept of D. metcalfi represents a third taxon.
The Peruvian species of Dorisiana has a green head and thorax lightly marked with piceous and tawny abdomen. The green can fade or be chemically altered to tawny. The generic characters will distinguish the species from similar species in the genus Guyalna (like G. bogotana (Distant, 1892a)).
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Dorval et al. 2011; Sanborn 2011b; 2013; 2019b; Santos-Cividanes et al. 2013; Sanborn & Heath 2014; Dias et al. 2017). Previous records to Panama are in error (Sanborn 2018b). Jacobi (1907; 1951) reported the species from Pachitea and Callanga in Peru.
