Song. (n=30: 2 UCMS alcoholic molecular vouchers and 2 not captured from Metropolitana Region, Santiago Pr. (S18-02); holotype, paratopotype, and topotype UCMS alcoholic molecular voucher from Metropolitana Region, Santiago Pr. (S18-03); 1 paratype and 4 not captured from O’Higgins Region, Cachapoal Pr. (S18-13); 1 not captured from O’Higgins Region, Cachapoal Pr. (S18-14); 3 not captured from O’Higgins Region, Colchagüa Pr. (S18-18, S18-19), 1 from Maule Region, Linares Pr. (S18-20), 3 paratypes and 3 not captured from Metropolitana Region, Cordillera Pr. (S19-49), 1 paratype and 1 not captured from Metropolitana Regoin, Cordillera Pr. (S19-50)) The C. partemporaria echeme duration is 0.68± 0.13 s. The echeme rate is 1.18± 0.26 s- 1, which is significantly longer than in C. oraria and C. trifasciunca songs (MANOVA, P =1.12×10 -3). Echeme rates of C. partemporaria tend to be slower than in C. curacaviensis and C. oraria, but the differences are not significant (MANOVA, P =9.00×10 -1). The dominant frequency band is 7.78–12.09 kHz (mean dominant frequency=9.99±0.36 kHz).
Diagnosis. Another of the larger species of the Chilecicada species including the largest specimen. This new species can be distinguished by having in combination a body length between 17.20–21.35 mm, fore wing length between 19.80–24.40 mm, fore wing basal cell about 3.50 times longer than broad, a piceous mark along the proximal fore wing basal cell, a piceous fascia separating the proximal fore wing costa and radius + subcostal veins, meracanthus an elongated triangle with a parallel-sided base, medial opercular margin ground color, posteromedial operculum forming an obtuse angle, abdominal epipleurites lack a central spot, and an uncus that is piceous with ground color lateral and dorsal fasciae with the distal quarter bent.
C. partemporaria is named for the common song type that it exemplifies: medium length echemes slightly longer than 0.5 s produced evenly and continuously at a rate of just over 1 s-1. This song type is also found in C. culenesensis, C. curacaviensis, C. magna, C. oraria, C. pehuenchesensis, and C. trifasciunca. C. partemporaria has the longest echemes of the species with this song type but may overlap with other species at the minimum of the duration distribution. In cases of overlap, the C. partemporaria echeme rate tends to be slower than in C. curacaviensis and C oraria, and probably also C. culenesensis.
Distribution. The species is known from the type series collected in multiple localities in the Metropolitana and O’Higgins Regions of central Chile.
