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.
William Lucas Distant was an English entomologist.
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.
Tosenini is a tribe of cicadas in the family Cicadidae. There are at least 3 genera and about 10 described species in Tosenini, found in the Palearctic and Indomalaya.
Megapomponia is a genus of cicadas from Southeast Asia containing the world's largest cicadas species. It was erected by Michel Boulard to accommodate the world's largest cicada species, Megapomponia imperatoria, the type species of Megapomponia. Boulard included seven species in Megapomponia. Lee and Sanborn, however, re-transferred two species to Pomponia, Pomponia decem and Pomponia rajah.
Distantalna splendida is a cicada species from Southeast Asia. It was previously placed in the genus Tosena. A characteristic that distinguishes Distantalna splendida from the Tosena species is the partly pale hyaline tegmina and wings. The species of Tosena do not have hyaline parts in the tegmina and wings. It has been recorded from India, Myanmar and Thailand.
Tosena paviei is a cicada species from Southeast Asia. It has been recorded from Thailand and Vietnam. The type specimens(s) were collected on the 'Route de Luang-Prabang à Theng'. Luang Prabang is now in Laos but Theng probably refers to Điện Biên Phủ, a city in the Northwest region of Vietnam near the border with Laos which was formerly called Thaeng or Muong Thanh. So it's not clear if the type specimen(s) were collected in Laos or Vietnam.
Euterpnosia is a genus of cicada native to the island of Formosa, the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan, Hainan and mainland Asia - China, Bhutan, Nepal and Vietnam. The type species is Euterpnosia chibensisMatsumura, 1917.
Tosena melanoptera is a cicada species from Southeast Asia. It was described by White in 1846 from material collected in North India. It has also been recorded from Thailand and Vietnam.
Formotosena is a genus of cicadas from Southeast Asia erected by Kato in 1925 to accommodate the species Formotosena seebohmi which was previously placed in the genus Tosena. Members of Formotosena are found in Southeast Asia, including southern China, Hainan and Taiwan.
Tosena melanoptera is a cicada species from Thailand. It was described by William Lucas Distant in 1878.
