<p>The cicada genus <em>Pacarina</em> Distant, 1905a is reported to inhabit the southern Nearctic and northern Neotropical regions. Historically, specimens have been classified into various taxa by what appears to be based primarily on size. Morphometric analyses show that some species of <em>Pacarina</em> previously determined to be different species, in fact, represent new species. <em>Pacarina quasipuella</em><strong> sp. nov.</strong> and <em>Pacarina puellula </em><strong>sp. nov.</strong> are described as new. Southern records of <em>Pacarina puella</em> Davis, 1923 and <em>Pacarina schumanni</em> Distant, 1905c from Panamá and Costa Rica are considered to be <em>Pacarina quasipuella </em><strong>sp. nov.</strong> reducing the known distribution of those species.</p>
