Taxonomy

The genus name is derived from the Chinese words for 'blood cicada'. [3] Although it has been claimed that the Chinese name refers to Huechys, Chinese entomologist Gaines Liu notes that the name Chu ki refers to Lycorma delicatula . He noted that the name for the black and red cicada was Er according to the Fang Yen written by Yang Hsiung (53 B.C. - A.D. 18). [4]
