Cicada superfamily of insects

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, Tettigarctidae, with two species in Australia, and Cicadidae, with more than 3,000 species described from around the world; many species remain undescribed.

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.

<i>Distantalna splendida</i> species of insect

<i>Tosena paviei</i> species of insect

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.

<i>Tosena albata</i> species of insect

Tosena albata is a cicada species from Southeast Asia. It was described by William Lucas Distant in 1878 who, however, subsequently regarded it as a variety of Tosena melanoptera. However, in 2000 Boulard confirmed the species status of Tosena albata by comparing its song with that of other Tosena species. T. albata has hitherto been recorded from Thailand, Nepal, North India, and Northwestern Himalaya
