SPECIES FOUND IN NICARAGUA


To be determined species from Nicaragua:

   This male has translucent limbs and antennae and gold on its head -- but appears to be of the nigricornis group.


Probable nigricornis group male - sang at night on low vegetation.




Also found at Domitila Reserve in Nicaragua - a varicornis group male. 


Note the orange on the head and joints -- and pale antennae.


Frontal view of the base of the antennae.


Also sang at night on low vegetation.




This young nymph was found within 2 feet of the above adult male.  The pattern on the top surface of the abdomen matches varicornis.





Below:  This male was found 3 feet above ground singing from a well-exposed hibiscus-type shrub alongside a well-traveled path at a resort complex.  Note the golden head.


Here is a close-up view of the antennal markings:  Black ovals on white backgrounds on the 1st and 2d segments.




This niveus group female was found under a huge Guasimos tree -- she is possibly Oecanthus leptogrammus.
