REMARKS. All extant species of cicadas are members of the family Cicadidae except for the two Australian species of Tettigarcta White, 1845 . Cicadidae are distinguished from the Tettigarctidae by the pronotum that is smaller than the mesonotum and does not expand over the dorsal mesonotum, the presence of a distinctive cruciform elevation, fore wing radius posterior arising from node, fore wing anal veins 2 and 3 are fused, males generally possess timbal organs and an abdominal resonating chamber, both sexes possess tympana, male sternite VII shielding genitalia ventrally, and the male pygofer with basal lobes present ( Moulds 2005).
