Quesada Distant 1905c: 478 View in CoL .

TYPE SPECIES. — Cicada gigas Olivier 1790: 750 View in CoL . (Java).

REMARKS.—The genus was recently reassigned to Fidicinini with the synonymy of the Hyantiini ( Marshall et al. 2018) . Only Quesada in the Ecuadorian Fidicinini have small timbal covers that recurve for only part of its length with an anterior triangular extension and do not cover the timbal. Specimens of Quesada can also be distinguished by the larger body size (body lengths greater than 30 mm), the basal cell of the fore wing is only slightly longer than broad, the abdomen is about as long as the distance between the anterior head and posterior of the cruciform elevation, and the distal terminus of the pygofer angles medially.

DISTRIBUTION.—The two species of the genus have been reported from the Antilles, Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad & Tobago, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, and the West Indies ( Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011b; 2013; 2014a; 2018c; 2019b; 2020b, e; Sanborn & Heath 2012; 2014; 2017; Reis et al. 2015; Maccagnan et al. 2017).
