Scientific Summary

GBIF Taxonomic Backbone & Wikipedia Registry Profile

Remarks. This is the third of the three large species heavily marked with piceous with a spot of infuscation on the end apex of anal cell 2 in the hind wing. It can be quickly distinguished from C. postica and C. maculosa by the spot of infuscation on the mediocubital crossvein and in the wing margin distal to apical cells 1 – 3 in the hind wing of this species. This is a dry season cicada (Wolda & Ramos 1992).
Biology & Conservation

Ecologically, the conservation status of Carineta trivittata is officially designated as Not Evaluated. Current field registries estimate a global population composed of an unquantified number of individuals, making habitat preservation critical to maintaining their wild populations.

It is typically endemic to forest, showing great physiological synergy with its surroundings. In terms of dietary preferences, it relies primarily on a diet of diverse organic matter. It exhibits specialized adaptations centered around a its natural cycle activity pattern, optimizing its energy conservation and interactions within its native ecosystem.

Ongoing biological monitoring and ecological advocacy emphasize the importance of protecting this species. The stability of its food chain and the prevention of fragmentation in its primary range are vital for the continued survival of Carineta trivittata.
