Megapomponia is a genus of cicadas from Southeast Asia containing the world's largest cicada species. [1] [2] It now belongs to the subtribe Megapomponiina and was erected by Michel Boulard to accommodate the world's largest cicada species, Megapomponia imperatoria , the type species of Megapomponia. [1] Boulard included seven species in Megapomponia. Lee and Sanborn, however, re-transferred two species to Pomponia , Pomponia decem and Pomponia rajah. [2]
