Pomponia is a genus of cicadas from Asia. A group of species previously placed in Pomponia, containing the largest cicada species found on earth, have recently been moved to Megapomponia. However, the remaining species still form a very heterogeneous group and Duffels and Hayashi (2006) mentioned that several species should probably be transferred to genera like Terpnosia and Leptosemia.

Platypleura is a genus of cicadas that occurs widely across Africa and southern Asia.

In field experiments their maximum body temperature while calling at dusk, was measured at 22 °C above ambient temperature.
