Two new species and five new records of cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) from South America

Two new species, Guyalna atratacastanea Sanborn sp. nov. and Dorachosa nasuta Sanborn sp. nov., of cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are described from French Guiana. New records of Proarna proximorubrovenosa Sanborn 2020 for French Guiana, Proarna insignis Distant, 1881 for Guyana, Taphura attiguclava Sanborn, 2019 for Brazil, Carineta macayaensis Sanborn, 2020 for Colombia, and Dorachosa dentata (Sanborn, 2020) for Argentina are provided along with a new state record of Dorachosa dentata for Brazil. The additions bring the total known cicada diversity of Argentina to 109 species, Brazil to 192 species, Colombia to 65 species, French Guiana to 77 species, and Guyana to 13 species.
