Uncovering Brazilian Otiocerinae (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Derbidae): description of three new species and first records for the tribes Sikaianini Muir, 1913 and Patarini Emeljanov, 1995

View through CrossRef
Despite the subfamily Otiocerinae being the largest in Derbidae by a great margin, there was only one recorded species in Brazil to date. A survey conducted by the authors at the Coleção Entomológica Padre Jesus Santiago Moure of the Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) revealed a considerable number of undescribed Brazilian otiocerines, as well as other derbid species. Here, we describe three new species of Brazilian Otiocerinae: Mula flamma sp. nov., from Mato Grosso State; Otiocerus shamshir sp. nov., from Paraná State; and Patara paladinae sp. nov., from states of Paraná and Santa Catarina. Each species belongs to a different subtribe: Sikaianini Muir, 1913, Otiocerini Muir, 1917, and Patarini Emeljanov, 1995, respectively. The wing venations are described in detail, and hypotheses regarding vein identity are discussed.
