Description
Family Cicadidae Latreille, 1802
REMARKS.—All extant cicadas except the two Australian species of Tettigarcta White, 1845 are members of the family Cicadidae. Species of Cicadidae are distinguished by the pronotum being smaller than the mesonotum, the presence of a distinctive cruciform elevation, fused fore wing anal veins 2 and 3, males that generally possess timbal organs and an abdominal resonating chamber, tympana that are present in both sexes, male genitalia that is ventrally shielded by sternite VII, and the male pygofer has basal lobes (Moulds 2005).
