Callogaeana festiva, [1] [2] synonym Gaeana festiva, [3] is a species of cicada in the tribe Gaeanini. It is found in East Asia from India and Bhutan to Indonesia.
The cicadas are a superfamily, the Cicadoidea, of insects in the order Hemiptera. They are in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, along with smaller jumping bugs such as leafhoppers and froghoppers. The superfamily is divided into two families, the Tettigarctidae, with two species in Australia, and the Cicadidae, with more than 3,000 species described from around the world; many species remain undescribed.
A leafhopper is the common name for any species from the family Cicadellidae. These minute insects, colloquially known as hoppers, are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or trees. Their hind legs are modified for jumping, and are covered with hairs that facilitate the spreading of a secretion over their bodies that acts as a water repellent and carrier of pheromones. They undergo a partial metamorphosis, and have various host associations, varying from very generalized to very specific. Some species have a cosmopolitan distribution, or occur throughout the temperate and tropical regions. Some are pests or vectors of plant viruses and phytoplasmas. The family is distributed all over the world, and constitutes the second-largest hemipteran family, with at least 20,000 described species.
The Auchenorrhyncha suborder of the Hemiptera contains most of the familiar members of what was called the "Homoptera" – groups such as cicadas, leafhoppers, treehoppers, planthoppers, and spittlebugs. The aphids and scale insects are the other well-known "Homoptera", and they are in the suborder Sternorrhyncha.
Katoa is a genus of cicadas from Southeast Asia. The type species is Katoa tenmokuensis. Formerly placed in the tribe Tibicinini, after detailed morphological analysis, in 2012 Lee placed the genus among the Cicadettini, also of the subfamily Cicadettinae. After molecular phylogenetic analysis and physical examination, in 2018 Marshal, et al., placed the genus in its own tribe, Katoini, remaining in the subfamily Cicadettinae.
Amphipsalta, commonly known as clapping cicadas, is a genus of cicada in the family Cicadidae. This genus is endemic to New Zealand.
Kikihia is a genus of cicada in the family Cicadidae. Most species contained in the genus are endemic to New Zealand, with a single Australian species found on Norfolk Island. The genus was established in 1972 by John S. Dugdale with eleven species formerly classed within the genus Cicadetta.
Rhodopsalta is a genus of cicada in the family Cicadidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
The Cicadinae are a subfamily of cicadas, containing the translucent cicadas. They are robust cicadas and many have gaudy colors, but they generally lack the butterfly-like opaque wing markings found in many species of the related Tibiceninae.
Thopha saccata, commonly known as the double drummer, is the largest Australian species of cicada and reputedly the loudest insect in the world. Documented by the Danish zoologist Johan Christian Fabricius in 1803, it was the first described and named cicada native to Australia. Its common name comes from the large dark red-brown sac-like pockets that the adult male has on each side of its abdomen—the "double drums"—that are used to amplify the sound it produces.
Cicadetta montana is a species of Cicadetta found throughout Europe and in parts of Asia.
Gaeana is a genus of cicadas, most members of which have colourful marking on their forewings, found across tropical and temperate Asia. Their bright wing patterns have been hypothesized as being a case of Batesian mimicry where the toxic models may be day-flying moths of the subfamilies Zygaeninae and Arctiinae. It is closely related to the genus Tosena but is differentiated by the exposed tympanum and lacks spines on the sides of the pronotum.
Diceroprocta is a genus of scrub cicadas in the family Cicadidae. There are at least 60 described species in Diceroprocta.
Kikihia muta, commonly known as the variable cicada, is a species of cicada that is endemic to New Zealand. This species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775.
Rhodopsalta cruentata, also known as the blood redtail cicada, is a species of insect that is endemic to New Zealand. This species was first described in 1775 by Johann Christian Fabricius and named Tettigonia cruentata.
Dundubia is a genus of cicadas in the subfamily Cicadinae and the type genus of the tribe Dundubiini.
Ledra is the type genus of leafhoppers in the subfamily Ledrinae and the tribe Ledrini. Ledra aurita can be found in Europe but most species occur in Asia.
Iassus lanio is the type species of planthoppers in its genus and the tribe Iassini. This species can be found throughout Europe including the British Isles through to Russia and Northern Africa; no subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Callogaeana is a genus of Asian cicadas in the tribe Gaeanini. This genus includes species that were previously placed in Gaeana and sometimes known as known as "butterfly cicadas" due to their colourful wings.
Ambragaeana is a genus of Asian cicadas in the tribe Gaeanini. This genus was previously placed in Gaeana and species in this tribe are often called "butterfly cicadas" because of the colours and patterns of their wings.
Becquartina is a genus of Asian cicadas in the tribe Gaeanini and the monotypic subtribe Becquartinina. This genus includes species that were previously placed in Gaeana and are sometimes known as "butterfly cicadas" due to their colourful wings.
