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 Tribe Parnisini Distant, 1905c Parnisinaria Distant 1905c: 203 . Remarks.—Genera of the Parnisini can be distinguished by their eyes not distinctly projecting beyond the anterior angles of the pronotum, the more or less subquadrate pronotum, hyaline wings, and the abdomen being shorter than the length between the anterior postclypeus and posterior cruciform elevation ( Distant 1905c ; Moulds 2005 ). The relatively few examples included in the genetic study combined with the distribution in the Afrotropics, Madagascar , Neotropics and Palearctic regions suggests that this tribe may be an unnatural grouping of genera as was the Taphurini (Marshall et al . 2018) .
