Notes
Authority: Germar 1834; A junior synonym ( Cicada subtincta Walker, 1850) of this species was described from Silhet (Bangladesh). It should be noted that the other two junior synonyms ( Cicada albiflos Walker, 1850 and Cicada tomentosa Walker, 1858) were described from Jamaica and West Indies, while the senior synonym, Proarna hilaris (Germar, 1834) was described from Australasia. Thus if the type locality of the junior synonym ( Cicada subtincta ) is correct it may have been incorrectly synonymised with Proarna hilaris by Stål (1862). Though not officially recorded from India it is highly likely that the junior synonym C. subtincta occurs in India.
