A new species of the genus Mahanarva Distant, 1909 (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea: Cercopidae), with a key to the species from Central America and Mexico
Journal Title: Journal of Insect Biodiversity - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The genus Mahanarva Distant, 1909 (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea: Cercopidae) currently includes two subgenera: Mahanarva Distant, 1909 with 38 species and six subspecies, and Ipiranga Fennah, 1968 with nine species. The Manaharva species are all from the Americas, and a few species are important pests in pasture grasses and sugarcane. There are no reports of any Manaharva species from North America, including Mexico and areas to the north. Here, a new species is described from Mexico and a key to the species of Mahanarva from Central America and Mexico is proposed.
