The cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea: Cicadidae) of Madagascar including a new tribe, five new genera, twelve new species, four new species synonymies, five revised species status, ten new combinations, new tribal assignments for four genera, one new subtribe synonymy, a checklist and key to the species Author Sanborn, Allen F. text Zootaxa 2021 2021-02-24 4937 1 1 79 journal article 7435 10.11646/zootaxa.4937.1.1 712f8615-91da-4442-99f9-1e0a6a211cb5 1175-5326 4559438 A1DDB75B-27E5-463A-8FA6-975B89163A50 Pycna madagascarensis ( Distant, 1879 ) Platypleura madagascarensis Distant 1879: 217 . (Tamatave, Madagascar ) Remarks.—The other species of the genus with a body length less than 37 mm and a wingspan less than 100 mm . Body length about 28–30 mm , wingspan about 91–95 mm ( Distant 1879 ; Karsch 1890 ; specimen in hand). It can be distinguished from P. angusta by the pronotum width being about 16 mm , the oblique anterior angles of the pronotum, the unmarked mesonotum, the hour-glass shaped fulvous mark on dorsal abdominal tergites 1–3 on the otherwise piceous abdomen, the absence of a broad piceous margin on the opercula, and the piceous external margin of the hind wings. The song is a series of syllables that increase in intensity followed by a short tone of decreasing intensity with peak energy about 5 kHz but including a series of higher frequency harmonics ( Boulard 2006b ; 2008 ). Distribution.—The species is only known from Madagascar ( Metcalf 1963a ; Duffels & van der Laan 1985 ; Sanborn 2013 ; 2020). The species has been reported from Tamatave, western Madagascar and Antananarivo , central Madagascar ( Karsch 1890 ; Distant 1879 ; Jacobi 1917 ). Material examined.—“ Madagascar / Macvatanana” one male (AFSC).
