Andanus tambopixunensis sp. nov., a new species of the remarkable leafhopper genus Andanus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae), generic redescription and two new synonyms with new placements

ABSTRACT

A new species of the leafhopper genus Andanus Linnavuori, 1959 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Athysanini), A. tambopixunensis sp. nov., is described. Materials studied were intercepted using Malaise and light traps in the Tambopata National Reserve (Peru) and the Amazonian Forest (Brazil). The genera Perundanus Zanol, 1993 syn. nov. and Paralaca Lozada, 1998 syn. nov. are recognized as junior synonyms of Andanus based on morphological comparison. The type species of Perundanus and Paralaca, A. raunoi (Zanol, 1993) comb. nov. and A. sordidus (Lozada, 1998) comb. nov., respectively, are transferred to Andanus. A detailed redescription of the genus and illustrations of external and genital morphology are provided as well as a key to the known species. The new species differs from other species in having a pygofer without processes, subgenital plates divergent, and aedeagus with a pair of short dorsoapical and single ventroapical spine. Comparative notes on morphological similarities of Andanus to other Neotropical Athysanini genera are discussed.

INTRODUCTION

Athysanini Van Duzee, 1892 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) with nearly 227 described genera and more than 1170 described species is the largest tribe of Deltocephalinae, comprising 39 tribes, >960 described genera and >7200 described species worldwide, itself the largest subfamily of leafhoppers. The tribe comprises 126 genera distributed in the New World from Canadian boreal forest to the remote southern archipelagos of Chile (Zanol 2008). The Neotropical region has many endemic Athysanini that appear to be highly restricted to specific host plants, habitats, or regions (Pinedo-Escatel and Dietrich 2020). The tribe has been shown to be a polyphyletic group and mostly comprises genera that do not fit the definitions of other, better-defined deltocephaline tribes (Zahniser and Dietrich 2013). Relationships among genera of Athysanini remain poorly explored but a recent analysis showed that the endemic New World genera of Athysanini form a distinct lineage that also includes the endemic New World tribes Bahitini, Pendarini and Scaphytopiini (Cao et al. 2022).

Linnavuori (1959) erected the endemic South American genus Andanus based on two males and two females of A. bimaculatus Linnavuori, 1959 from Madre de Dios department, southeast Peru. Later, Zanol (1993) erected another Peruvian leafhopper genus, Perundanus, based on a previously undissected female and male from the type series of A. bimaculatus. Subsequently, Lozada (1998) proposed two monotypic Peruvian genera taken from Pakitza National Park, Paralaca with six specimens of both sexes of P. sordidus Lozada, 1998 and Adlaca based on five males of Adlaca dubiosa Lozada, 1998. Zanol (2005) considered A. dubiosa to be a junior synonym of Andanus bimaculatus and recorded this genus in Brazil for the first time. Herein, we revised the mentioned genera and recognized only Andanus as valid. Two species, Paralaca sordidus and Perundanus raunoi, are transferred to the valid genus and a fourth species from Peru is newly described.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The identification of specimens was based mainly on morphological comparison of male genitalia. Terminology for head and thorax follows Dietrich (2005), wing venation is based on Anufriev and Emeljanov (1988), and Rakitov (1998) was used for leg chaetotaxy. Male abdomens were removed and cleared following Oman’s (1949) protocol but increasing heating time to 20 minutes and neutralizing remaining KOH solution with acetic acid after washing with water. Abdomens and dissected genitalia are stored in glycerin in microvials pinned beneath the specimen. Labels are quoted exactly as written. Specimen labels are quoted verbatim. The total length was measured using an ocular micrometer mounted to the stereomicroscope. The distributional map was elaborated based on material studied below and data included in Zanol (1993, 2005), Lozada (1998), and Pinedo-Escatel and Dietrich (2020).

The studied materials are deposited in the following collections: USML - Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru; INPA - Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Coleção Sistemática da Entomologia, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil; DZRJ - Coleção Entomológica Prof. José Alfredo Pinheiro Dutra, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; INHS - Illinois Natural History Survey, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, USA; USNM - United States National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA.

DISCUSSION

The three genera here considered synonyms were originally described based on single species. Our examination of available specimens indicates that these three species, in addition to the new species described here, are very similar in external morphology, including body size, structure, coloration, leg chaetotaxy and wing venation. They also share several unusual characteristics of the male genitalia including an elongate pygofer and segment X, subgenital plate with macrosetae reduced or absent, connective with anterior arms fused, gonoduct well sclerotized anterad of aedeagal atrium, and aedeagus with paired distal processes. Compared to these shared traits, the characters separating the species, including the shape and ornamentation of the male pygofer and plates, shape of the style, and length and orientation of aedeagal processes are similar to the kinds of variation occurring among species of many other genera of Cicadellidae. Therefore, although these species differ substantially in details of the male genital structures, we think it is preferable to recognize their close relationship by including them all in a single genus.

Peru is home to 16 genera of Athysanini (Andanus; Atanus Oman, 1938; Bolotheta Kramer, 1963; Brasilanus Linnavuori, 1959; Brazosa Oman, 1938; Caranavia Linnavuori, 1959; Chimaerotettix Dietrich & Rakitov, 2002; Huancabamba Linnavuori, 1959; Napo Linnavuori & DeLong, 1976; Pachytettix Linnavuori, 1959; Paratanus Young, 1957; Pseudonapo Pinedo-Escatel, 2020; Sincholata DeLong, 1982; Spaltumtettix Pinedo-Escatel & Dietrich, 2020; Tingolix Linnavuori & DeLong, 1978; Yungasia Linnavuori, 1959), of which most have been described from eastern forests including Ecuadorian, Bolivian, and Brazilian Amazonian forests as well as Andean cloud forests. This fauna includes multiple Athysanini genera manifesting particular morphological characteristics not shared among other athysanine faunas in northern or southern latitudes (Pinedo-Escatel and Dietrich 2020).

The species treated here share some unusual features with other Neotropical Athysanini genera, including Napo and Pseudonapo. These include the structure and coloration of the crown of the head, which is relatively short, smooth, and wide between the eyes, and rounded to the face with symmetrical black marks on the anterior margin. In addition, the pronotum is distinctly convex, which is an unusual feature. Some features of the male terminalia of these genera are also unusual among Athysanini. These include the relatively long, dorsally sclerotized segment X, the reduction or loss of macrosetae on the subgenital plate, and the connective with the arms often curved mesad apically and partially fused to aedeagus. More detailed taxonomic studies in combination with phylogenetic research are needed to understand the limits of some of these genera and clarify relationships in the tribe.
