Taxonomic Review of Cicadidae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) from Taiwan, Part 3. Dundubiini (Two Other Genera of Cicadina), Moganiini, and Huechysini with a New Genus and Two New Species

Abstract As the third part of the taxonomic review of Cicadidae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) from Taiwan, 18 species belonging to six genera in cicadine tribes, Dundubiini (two other genera of Cicadina) and Moganiini, and a tibicinine tribe, Huechysini, are treated in this paper. A new genus, Formocicada Lee and Hayashi, and two new species, Tanna infuscata Lee and Hayashi and Formocicada taiwana Lee and Hayashi, are described. Four species are synonymized: Tanna taikosana Kato, 1925 and Tanna horiensis Kato, 1926 with Tanna taipinensis (Matsumura, 1907), and Tanna horishana Kato, 1925 and Tanna tarowanensis (Matsumura, 1927) with Tanna viridis Kato, 1925. Cryptotympana facialis (Walker, 1858), Cosmopsaltria doryca (Boisduval, 1835), and Leptopsaltria tuberosa (Signoret, 1847) are newly considered as species erroneously recorded from Taiwan. Informations on the biology and male chirpings are also provided.

A review of the cicada genus Kosemia Matsumura (Hemiptera: Cicadidae).

The genus Kosemia Matsumura is reviewed based on investigation of the described species and the descriptions of two new species, Kosemia castanea sp. n. and Kosemia guanzhongensis sp. n., from Shaanxi Province, China. Two species formerly belonging to the genus Cicadetta Kolenati, C. chinensis (Distant) and C. mogannia (Distant), are transferred to Kosemia Matsumura to become K. chinensis (Distant), comb. n. and K. mogannia (Distant), comb. n.. The male of K. chinensis (Distant), comb. n. is discovered and described for the first time. Melampsalta bifuscata Liu, 1940 is recognized to be a junior synonym of K. chinensis. Leptopsalta rubicosta Chou & Lei, 1997 and Lycurgus sinensis Jacobi, 1944 are recognized to be junior synonyms of K. mogannia. Kosemia radiator (Uhler, 1896) is removed from the Chinese cicada fauna. A key to species of Kosemia is provided.xa0
