Notes
Authority: Illiger 1800; Unlikely to be from India: Metcalf (1963), among others, states India in reference to the type locality of Cicada indica Donovan, 1800 which is a junior synonym of Tacua speciosa speciosa (Illiger, 1800). Distant (1892a), however noted that "According to Donovan, a single specimen of this species was found in Bengal by Mr. Fichtel, and deposited in the Imperial Cabinet at Vienna, but that habitat I consider liable to the greatest doubt." Cicada indica is illustrated in Fig. 1.
