Description
Genus Quesada Distant, 1905b
Quesada Distant 1905b: 478.
Type species. Cicada gigas Olivier 1790: 750 (Java).
Remarks. Marshall et al. (2018) reassigned the genus to Fidicinini with the synonymy of the Hyantiini based on a multi-gene phylogeny.
Diagnosis. Only Quesada in the Lesser Antilles Fidicinini has small timbal covers that recurve for only part of their length, have an anterior triangular extension, and do not cover the timbal. The large body size (body lengths greater than 30 mm), fore wing basal cell being only slightly longer than broad, an abdomen about as long as the distance between the anterior head and posterior of the cruciform elevation, and the medially angled distal terminus of the pygofer distinguish specimens of Quesada.
