description: Zammara calochroma Walker, 1858a
Zammara calochroma Walker 1858a: 4. (Bogotá, Colombia)
Zammara callichroma Stål 1864: 57. (Vera Cruz, Mexico)
Remarks. This is one of the two small species of Zammara in Panama with a body length less than 30 mm. It can be distinguished from the other small species, Z. smaragdula Walker, 1858b by the apical fore wing infuscation including parts of apical cells 1–3 and a large band of infuscation traversing the fore wings across the crossveins in Z. calochroma (Goemans 2016). The species is a rainy season cicada with emergences between mid-May and mid- October (Wolda 1989).
Distribution. The species has been reported from Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013; 2014; Goemans 2016). However, the records from Ecuador and Venezuela are considered erroneous identifications of Z. smaragdula Walker, 1858b (Goemans 2016). The species has been reported in Panama from Barro Colorado Island, Panama Canal Zone, 120 m altitude in lowland forest (Wolda 1989; Wolda & Ramos 1992), at sea level at Miramar, Province of Bocas del Toro (Wolda & Ramos 1992), 12 km W. of Chiriqui Grande, Bocas del Toro Province, Barro Colorado Island, Saut, Dunham, and Pipieline Rd. K 1–12 (Goemans 2016).
