Distribution. Quesada gigas may have the most extensive north to south range of any cicada species.

Canada (Sanborn & Heath 2017), Suriname (Sanborn 2020d), and Chile (Sanborn 2021b) are the only countries in the continental New World without a record of the species. Ruffinelli (1970) reported the species from Yacaré, Salto, and Montevideo in Uruguay.
