1 A revision of the cicadas of the genus Maua Distant (Hemiptera, Cicadidae) from Sundaland J.P. Duffels This revision of the genus Maua presents descriptions, illustrations and distribution maps of 8 species of the genus occurring in Sundaland: the Malayan Peninsula, Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Palawan. Six species are redescribed: M. affinis Distant, 1905, M. albigutta (Walker, 1857), M. latilinea (Walker, 1868), M. linggana Moulton, 1923, M. platygaster Ashton, 1912 and M. quadrituberculata (Signoret, 1847). Two species are described as new to science: M. borneensis sp. n. and M. palawanensis sp. n. Two other species proved to be synonyms: M. ackermanni Schmidt, 1924 is a junior synonym of M. quadrituberculata and M. dohrni Schmidt, 1912 is a junior synonym of M. latilinea. Three species of Maua, two from China and one from the Philippines are not included in this paper. A key for the identification of the Sundaland species of Maua is presented. J.P. Duffels, Zoological Museum (Department of Entomology), University of Amsterdam, Plantage Middenlaan 64, NL-1018 DH Amsterdam, the Netherlands. j.p.duffels@uva.nl Introduction The genus Maua was erected by Distant (1905) for Cicada quadrituberculata Signoret, 1847 and M. affinis Distant, The genus is currently placed in the tribe Dundubiini and the subtribe Leptopsaltriina (Duffels & Van der Laan 1985; Moulds 2005). In 1923, Moulton erected the new section Leptopsaltraria [sic] for the genera Leptopsaltria Stål, 1866, Maua Distant, 1905, Nabalua Moulton, 1923, Purana Stål, 1866 and Tanna Distant, The new section was characterised by the presence of one to three pairs of tubercles on the ventral side of the male abdomen. A revision of Nabalua was recently presented by Duffels (2004), and three, presumed monophyletic, groups of the genus Purana were revised: the P. nebulilinea group (Kos & Gogala 2000), the P. carmente group (Schouten & Duffels 2002) and the P. tigrina group (Duffels et al. 2007). In 1963, Metcalf added several genera, with and without abdominal tubercles, to the subtribe; none of these genera are recorded from Sundaland. This paper presents a revision of the genus Maua from Sundaland: the Malay Peninsula, Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Palawan and several smaller islands inbetween. Two species of Maua, M. borneensis from Borneo and M. palawanensis from Palawan and Balabac are described as new to science, and six species from Sundaland are redescribed: M affinis, M. albigutta (Walker, 1857), M. latilinea (Walker, 1868), M. linggana Moulton, 1923, M. platygaster Ashton, 1912, and M. quadrituberculata. Two species, M. ackermanni Schmidt, 1924 and M. dohrni Schmidt, 1912, both described from Sumatra, proved to be junior synonyms of respectively M. quadrituberculata and M. latilinea. Three species of Mau are not treated in this paper: M. albistigma (Walker, 1850) and M. fukienensis Liu, 1940 from China, and M. philippinensis Schmidt, 1924 from the Philippines. This study aims to contribute to a better knowledge of cicada biodiversity in Southeast Asia. Basic systematic studies providing illustrations and descriptions of species and keys to genera and species are regarded as a prerequisite for biodiversity studies.

Taxonomy Genus Maua Distant Maua Distant 1905: 61. Type-species by original designation: Maua quadrituberculata (Signoret, 1847). Maua: Moulton 1923: ; Metcalf 1963: ; Duffels & Van der Laan 1985: 113; Moulds 2005: 391, 432. [For further references before 1980 see: Metcalf 1963 and Duffels & Van der Laan 1985]. The species of Maua studied have one character in common viz., the broad, more or less parallel-sided male abdomen with about equally wide segments 3 to 4 or 2 to 5. The shape of the male abdomen was traditionally used to separate Maua from other genera of the subtribe (Distant 1906; Moulton 1923). The genus Maua in its present concept is probably not monophyletic. Distribution The genus Maua is found in China, Thailand, the Philippines and Sundaland (Malay Peninsula, Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Palawan) (Metcalf, 1963; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn et al. 2007). The genus is certainly most divers in Borneo (seven species). Four species are probably Borneo endemics: M. affinis, M. borneensis, M. linggana and M. platygaster. Maua affinis seems to be restricted to Palawan and Balabac Island between Borneo and Palawan. Maua latilinea is known from Borneo and Sumatra. The two remaining species have a wider distribution: M. albigutta is found in the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, and M. quadrituberculata is known from China, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, Java (?), Sumatra, Borneo and Nias Island. Relationships Three genera of the subtribe Leptopsaltriina occurring in Sundaland have two pairs of tubercles on the male sternites 3 and 4: Leptopsaltria, Maua and Purana. Maua is distinguished from the other two genera by the broad, more or less parallel-sided male abdomen; in Purana and Leptopsaltria the male abdomen gradually narrows from segment 2 backwards. The genus Maua is divided in two groups that are presumed to be monophyletic: (1) the M. quadrituberculata group with a male body length of mm, comprising: M. affinis, M. borneensis, M. latilinea, M. palawanensis, M. quadrituberculata

3 Duffels: Revision of Maua (Cicadidae) 305 (type species of the genus) and (2) the M. albigutta group with a male body length of mm, comprising: M. albigutta and M. linggana. The Maua quadrituberculata group and the M. albigutta group are readily separated by the following characters: the lateral fasciae on the mesonotum are continuous from anterior margin to at least three fifths of mesonotum length in the M. quadrituberculata group, and consist of three spots or short lines in the M. albigutta group; the male abdomen is very broad, and widest across the segments 3 and 4, in the M. quadrituberculata group, and fairly broad, and about equally wide across the segments 2 5, in the M. albigutta group; the male sternites 3 and 4 have a pair of thick, nipple-shaped tubercles in the M. quadrituberculata group, and a pair of narrow protuberances in the M. albigutta group. The albigutta group is allocated in the genus Maua because of the fairly broad male abdomen, but allocation in the genus Purana can also be considered because of the marking on the mesonotum and the weakly developed protuberances on the male sternites 3 and 4. The Maua albigutta group as well as two species groups of the genus Purana, the P. carmente group (Schouten & Duffels 2002) and the P. nebulilinea group (Kos & Gogala 2000), might represent new genera. However, a cladistic analysis of the species of Purana and Maua and related genera of the subtribe Leptopsaltriina is needed to provide a basis for a new generic division of the subtribe. One species, M. platygaster, is not attributed to one of the species groups and is not described in the same detail as the other Sundaland species. I have seen only one female of M. platygaster, the male of this species is only known to me by the original description of Ashton (1912). Maua platygaster can be separated from the other species of the genus by its characteristic marking of anastomosing spots on the tegmina and small body size (body length male: 21 mm). Key to the species of Maua The principal use of this key is for the identification of males. It is of limited value for the identification of females. The females of three species, M. affinis, M. latilinea and M. palawanensis are unknown. 1. Body length male: mm Body length male: mm Postclypeus with black spot or black marking at clypeal suture Postclypeus without black spot or black marking at clypeal suture Tegmen with distinct brown spots at bases of 2nd, 3rd and 5th apical cells; basis of 7th apical cell without spot.

Malay Peninsula; Sumatra; Siberut I M. albigutta Maua quadrituberculata group The Maua quadrituberculata group consists of five medium-sized to fairly large species (body length male: mm): M. affinis, M. borneensis, M. latilinea, M. palawanensis and M. quadrituberculata. The lateral mesonotal fasciae are somewhat irregular or straight but continuous from anterior margin to at least three fifths of mesonotum length or to at most the hind margin of the mesonotum. The apical cell 1 of the tegmen is relatively short. The basal vein of apical cell 1 is shorter than half as long, or at most half as long, as the longitudinal vein of apical cell 1. The male abdomen is very broad, widest across the segments 3 and 4, segment 2 is only slightly narrower; the sternites 3 and 4 have a pair of thick, nipple-shaped tubercles pointing sidewards. Maua latilinea differs from the other species of the group in the body marking and the structure of the male genitalia. The basal pygofer lobes of M. latilinea are large, black-brown and spine-shaped, and reach from two fifths to three fourths of the pygofer length, while the uncus is triangular and strongly sclerotised. In the other four species of this group the basal pygofer are more or less parallel, apically acute, ridges, while the uncus is trapezoid and not strongly sclerotised.

Maua quadrituberculata is a large species (body length?: mm). The males have a very broad abdomen (segment 3: (1.45) times as wide as pronotal collar), though the abdomen of the males of M. affinis is usually even broader (segment 3: times as wide as pronotal collar). Maua quadrituberculata can be distinguished from all other large species of Maua by the unmarked posterior oblique fissures on the mesonotum that are black in the other species. Maua quadrituberculata and M. latilinea from Borneo, Kalimantan are the only species with two black spots, at the bases of the second and third apical cells of the tegmen; the other species of the group have spots at the bases of the second, third and fifth apical cells or at bases of second, third, fifth and seventh apical cells. Maua latilinea is easily distinguished from M. quadrituberculata and all other large species of Maua by the continuous broad lateral fasciae on the mesonotum that reach from anterior to almost posterior mesonotal margin. Synonymy In February 2008, Dr Tomi Trilar of the Prirodoslovni Muzej Slovenije, Ljubljana visited the Museum of the Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Science, Warsaw, Poland. He found the Typus and the Co-Typus of M. ackermanni Schmidt, 1924 in the collection of this museum, brought these to my attention and sent me excellent photographs of the type specimens (Figs 3 4). Later, Dr D. Mierzwa (MIZ) kindly gave me on loan the Typus and the Co-Typus of M. ackermanni. Study of this material proved that M. ackermanni is a junior synonym of M. quadrituberculata. Description Ground colour of head, pronotum and mesonotum yellowish to greenish brown, abdomen of male and female ochraceous to brown. Head (Fig. 1).

8 310 Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, volume 152, 2009 Fig. 7. Distribution of Maua quadrituberculata (rounds) and M. affinis (triangles). Distribution (Fig. 7) Maua quadrituberculata was originally described from Java, but its occurrence on Java is not confirmed by the present or earlier studies. According to Moulton (1923), the species occurs in Java, Malay Peninsula and Borneo, and is recorded from China and the Philippines. The China and Philippines records of M. quadrituberculata by Moulton (l.c.) and other authors probably all date back to Distant s Monograph of Oriental Cicadidae (1889, 1891). The BMNH has one old specimen of M. quadrituberculata with a label China, but Chou et al. (1991) have not seen a single specimen from China (Chinese text kindly translated by Dr Wei Cong, Yangling, Shaanxi, China). The present study could not confirm the occurrence of M. quadrituberculata in the Philippines and China. The material available for this study confirms the occurrence of M. quadrituberculata in Thailand, Malay Peninsula and Borneo (Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei), and presents new records for Sumatra and Nias Island. Remark My esteemed colleagues Dr Michel Boulard (MNHN) and Mrs Khuankanok Chueata recently collected a new subspecies of M. quadrituberculata in northern Thailand. The subspecies was described as M. quadrituberculata khunpaworensis (Boulard 2007: ). According to its description, the new continental subspecies can be distinguished from the insular nominal subspecies by the more triangular head, the shorter pronotum and the more rounded male opercula. The reader is referred to Boulard s paper for a more detailed taxonomic discussion, the interesting ethological data about the new subspecies and the description of its song.

[Misidentification Maua affinis: Distant 1912: 41, pl. 5 Figs 33a-c (= Maua palawanensis); Chou et al, 1997: 232, Fig. 114 (see remark following the description).] There has been much confusion about the identity of Maua affinis since the specimen depicted by Distant (1912) as Maua affinis belongs to the species that is described in this paper as M. palawanensis. Maua affinis can be separated from M. quadrituberculata by the presence of spots at the basal veins of the fifth and seventh apical cells, the number of 9 10, instead of 5 7, transverse black-brown lines on the postclypeus, the absence of a distinct black mark at the clypeal suture, the larger black spots in front of anterior angles of cruciform elevation, and the presence of black-brown posterior oblique fissures on the pronotum. The types and the identity of Maua affinis The original description of M. affinis by Distant (1906) was followed by Hab. Borneo (Paris and Stockholm) indicating type locality and depositories.

Noualhier 1898, Maua / affinis / Dist, Type [round label with red circle; print], Distant coll / Balabac island, between Borneo and Palawan. All identification labels are in Distant s handwriting The specimen from Paris is designated here as lectotype of M. affinis because it is the only specimen from the type locality Borneo and because it bears the label Maua affinis type in Distant s handwriting. The round Type label of the London specimen was probably not attached by Distant but by a later curator of the museum. The specimens from Stockholm and London are from respectively Palawan and Balabac, an island between Borneo and Palawan, and not from Borneo. Because it is questionable whether these specimens belong to the type series, I have labelled these specimens:?paralectotype Maua affinis Distant, J.P.Duffels Maua affinis is probably endemic to northern Borneo. The identity of M. affinis is established in the description below. The questionable paralectotypes from Palawan and Balabac belong to a new species described in this paper as M. palawanensis which is found on these islands only and not on Borneo.

Body length?: ; tegmen length?: ; head width?: ; pronotum width?: Remark on Maua affinis from China The specimen of Maua affinis described and illustrated by Chou et al. (1997: 232, Fig. 114) comes from Mt. Damaosha, Boyang County, Jiangxi province, China ( E, 29 N). Judging from the description and the picture I am convinced that this specimen does not belong to M. affinis but to a new species related to M. palawanensis. The specimen from China differs from M. palawanensis in the shorter and more slender male body (body length: mm; body length of M. palawanensis: 39 mm) and in the lateral fasciae that are broken up in the China specimen and irregular and very variable in width, but not broken up, in M. palawanensis. Dr Wei Cong (Yangling, Shaanxi, China) kindly translated the description of Maua affinis in Chou et al. (1997). Distribution (Fig. 7) This species is probably endemic to Mount Kinabalu. Zaidi and co-authors (see above) recorded M. affinis from various localities in Sarawak and Sabah. These specimens probably belong to either M. borneensis or possibly to M. affinis.

Maua borneensis is alike to M. affinis in the striking similar marking on pronotum and mesonotum and in the marking on the postclypeus, both species lack the black spot at the clypeal suture that is found in the other species of the M. quadrituberculata group. Maua borneensis (body length?: mm) can be separated from M. affinis (body length?: ) by its smaller size and the different marking on the tegmina (see key to the species). Maua borneensis is separated from the other Maua species by the relatively short distance between tubercles on sternite 4, which is times as wide as the distance between tubercle and lateral segment margin; the other species of Maua have ratios ranging from 1.11 to 2.5.

18 320 Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, volume 152, 2009 Study of this material proved that M. dohrni is a junior synonym of M. latilinea. Fig. 19. Maua latilinea, male Kalimantan Kubing, pygofer in ventral view. This paper presents the first description of the male of M. latilinea. This species is easily separated from the other large Maua species by the shape of the central mark enclosing the ocelli, the characteristic marking on the postclypeus, the absence of a broad, black fascia along inner side of lateral part of ambient fissure, the relatively narrow ochraceous interspace between central pronotal fasciae, the broad and straight lateral fasciae on the mesonotum that reach from the anterior mesonotum margin to almost hind margin of mesonotum, the cup-shaped and triangular markings on respectively tergites 2 and 3 and the very characteristic shape of uncus and basal pygofer lobes. Synonymy In February 2008, Dr Tomi Trilar of the Prirodoslovni Muzej Slovenije, Ljubljana visited the Museum of the Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Science, Warsaw, Poland. He found the Type and the Co-Typus of M. dohrni Schmidt, 1912 in the collection of this museum, brought these to my attention and kindly sent me excellent photographs of the type specimens (Figs 20 21). Later, Dr D. Mierzwa (MIZ) was so kind to send me the Type and the Co-Typus of M. dohrni on loan.

Body length: ; tegmen length: ; head width: ; pronotum width: Distribution (Fig. 14) According to its labels, the female type specimen of Dundubia latilinea was collected in Penang and comes from the Wallace collection. Dr George Beccaloni (BMNH; personal communication 2007) kindly brought to my attention a remark in the introduction of Wallace s Catalogue of the Cetoniidae of the Malayan Archipelago (1868: 522): The specimens collected by Mr. Lamb, and noted as from

Penang, were most of them collected, not in the island, but in the main land of the Malay Peninsula opposite, termed the Province of Wellesley. Penang may therefore be held to signify merely a particular sub-district of the Malay Peninsula. Up to now M. latilinea was only known from the Malay Peninsula after the female holotype from Penang (see above) and another female from Pahang (Moulton 1923). The present revision of the genus Maua does not confirm the occurrence of this species in the Malay Peninsula but reveals that Maua latilinea certainly occurs in Borneo and Sumatra. Two specimens of M. latilinea studied come from respectively, the west coast of Borneo viz., Karimata Island and Ketapang, Kubing near the coast of Kalimantan Barat opposite Karimata Island. The type specimens of Maua dohrni, a junior synonym of M. latilinea, from Soekaranda, Sumatra, establish its occurrence in North Sumatra (see next paragraph). Figs 21.

A further search for the coordinates of Dohrn s Soekaranda revealed a publication by Schneider (1906) mentioning the visit of Dr G. Schneider in 1897 to Dr [W.L.]H. Dohrn who lived in a village called Sukaranda that is located in Upper Langkat in North Sumatra and not in the province of Bengkulu. These data are in accordance with the coordinates of Sukaranda as given by Van Doesburg (2004: 107): 3 37 N and E. Wolfgang Ludwig Heinrich Dohrn ( ) was the son of the coleopterist Carl August Dohrn ( ) and brother of the well-known hemipterist Anton Dohrn ( ).

Mau albigutta group The M. albigutta group consists of two mediumsized species (body length of male: mm): M. albigutta and M. linggana. Lateral mesonotal fasciae consisting of three distinct black spots or short lines on a row. Apical cell 1 of the tegmen is relatively long. The basal vein of apical cell 1 is more than half as long as the longitudinal vein of apical cell 1. The male abdomen is fairly broad and about equally wide across the segments 2 5. Sternites 3 and 4 have a pair of narrow protuberances, which are attached to the sternites along their whole length. The basal pygofer lobes are broadly rounded ridges that widen from the base of the pygofer to three fifths of its length.

The males of M. albigutta (body length: mm) are slightly smaller than those of M. linggana ( mm). Maua albigutta and M. linggana can also be distinguished by the shape of the male opercula. The male opercula of M. albigutta (Fig. 24), strongly taper to the apex, possess a distinct medial protrusion and reach to half length abdominal segment 3, while those of M. linggana are broadly rounded apically, have a less distinct median protrusion and reach or reach just beyond posterior margin of abdominal segment 2 (Fig. 27). Maua albigutta can be separated from Purana species of the same size by its broad abdomen, characteristic male operculum, the brownish suffused apical part of the tegmina, the three distinct black spots on a row forming the lateral mesonotal fascia, the dark brown to black posterior margins of the male abdominal segments, and the morphology of the male genitalia. Synonymy Moulton (1923) synonymised Purana jacobsoni Distant, 1912 with Maua albigutta. The type of P. jacobsoni in BMNH comes from Java and has the following labels: Purana / jacobsoni / type Dist, Jacobson / Depok / Java / Nov. 1908, Java / (Jacobson) / , Type [round label with red circle; print], 11/15. I have compared this type with

23 Duffels: Revision of Maua (Cicadidae) 325 M. albigutta, and found that P. jacobsoni and M. albigutta differ e.g., in the male opercula and the basal and lateral pygofer lobes of the male genitalia.

In Endau Rompin N.P., aggregations of singing males were found low on the tree trunks in March The species was less common from August to November 1999 and males were singing higher up in the canopy. Dr Matija Gogala and Dr Tomi Trilar (PMSL) recorded and described its very characteristic and attractive sound (Gogala et al. 2004). The calling song is complex and has pronounced frequency modulated parts. From video recordings, made in nature in Endau Rompin, the movement of the abdomen could be attributed to particular characteristics of the song. Distribution (Fig. 26) Maua albigutta is widely distributed in the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, and known from Siberut Island. Zaidi, Noramly & Ruslan (2000) recorded this species from Borneo (Sabah, Tibow, Tawau). In spite of intensive collecting in Sabah and Sarawak in the last decades, this is the only record of M. albigutta from Borneo. I have not seen the Sabah

Types Ashton (1912) described M. platygaster in an appendix to Moulton s (1912) Material for a Fauna Borneensis: a list of Bornean cicadas. In this publication, Moulton wrote the following lines about M. platyptera: The Sarawak Museum possesses two specimens from Mt. Matang taken in July and August and in a footnote he added: This species is described by Mr. Howard Ashton in the Appendix at the end of this paper (p. 156). Maua platygaster was described after one male and one female from Sarawak. It seems most likely that the two specimens from Mt. Matang mentioned by Moulton (l.c.) are the type specimens. Dr M. Zaidi (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) tried to trace the type specimens of M. platygaster in the collection of the Sarawak Museum (Zaidi & Ruslan, 1998), but could not find any. My study of the BMNH collection revealed one immature female from Mt. Matang that comes from the Sarawak Museum and is most probably a syntype of M. platygaster. The identity of M. platygaster The only specimen of this species that I have seen is the alleged female syntype from Mt. Matang (Fig. 29). This specimen can be separated from the other species of the genus by its very characteristic light brown marking on the tegmina that consists of anastomosing spots at the bases of the first and second apical cells and at the bases of the third and fourth apical cells, and separate spots at bases of fifth and seventh apical cells. Ashton s original description of M. platygaster mentioned anastomoses to

28 330 Tijdschrift voor Entomologie, volume 152, 2009 Fig. 29. M. platygaster, female syntype, Sarawak, Mt. Matang. Photo M.J. Duffels van Egmond. 2nd, 3rd and 5th apical cells spotted with fuscous. In spite of the discrepancies between the description and the pattern found in the syntype, the mere existence of anastomoses sustains the syntype status of the specimen. Anastomosing spots are found in only one other species of Maua. Maua affinis has an anastomosing spot on the transverse veins at the bases of the first and second apical cells and separate spots at the bases of the third, fifth and seventh apical cells, but some specimens have one anastomosing spot at the bases of the third and fourth apical cells. Other characters of M. platyptera are the rectangular pronotum, irregular lateral mesonotal fasciae that strongly widen to their distal ends, the relatively long apical cell 1 of the tegmen, and the basal vein of apical cell 1 which is much shorter than the longitudinal vein of apical cell 1. According to the original description the male abdomen is very broad and the male opercula are margined with black. Tubercles on the underside of the male body are not mentioned in the original description. Further material, especially males, is needed to establish the identity and the taxonomic position of this species. Remark Moulton s key to the species of Maua (Moulton 1923) divided the genus in two groups: those with tegmina expansions under 80 mm and those with tegmina expansions over 90 mm. The key is misleading because M. platygaster is arranged among the larger species of the genus with tegmina expansions over 90 mm. According to the original description, the expansion of the tegmina in the male M. platygaster is only 70 mm so that it is one of three species with an expansion of the tegmina under 80 mm (cf. Moulton 1923). The body length of the male type specimen of M. platyptera (21 mm) is even smaller than that of M. albigutta (24 28 mm) and M. linggana ( mm). Distribution (fig. 26) Maua platygaster was described from Mt Matang, Borneo, Sarawak. According to Zaidi & Ruslan (1998) the Sarawak Museum has a male specimen of M. platygaster from Mt. Penrissen, Sarawak, collected by E. Mjöberg. I have not seen this specimen. Mt Matang is situated west of Kuching. Mt Penrissen is part of the mountain range southwest of Kuching close to the border between Sarawak and Kalimantan Material examined. Borneo, Malaysia, Sarawak: The female syntype (see above).
