An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna Author Moulds, MS text Records of the Australian Museum 2005 2005-11-30 57 3 375 446 https://doi.org/10.3853/j.0067-1975.57.2005.1447 journal article 263912 10.3853/j.0067-1975.57.2005.1447 0e5dc21c-0971-430f-95e2-8d3aa91ebeb0 2201-4349 8239161 Subtribe Cosmopsaltriina Kato, 1932 Cosmopsaltriaria Kato, 1932: 145 . Cosmopsaltriina Duffels & Turner, 2002: 235 . Type genus . Cosmopsaltria Stål (type species: Cicada doryca Boisduval ). Included genera . Aceropyga Duffels , Brachylobopyga Duffels , Cosmopsaltria Stål , Diceropyga Stål , Dilobopyga Duffels , Meimuna Distant , Moana J.G. Myers , Rhadinopyga Duffels ( sensu Duffels, 1983 , 1993 ; Beuk, 2002 ). Diagnosis . Distal shoulder distally extended into pointed, and often apically up-turned lateral lobe. Accessory spines (claspers) present. Theca straight or curved in a gentle arc and with fleshy apical appendages. Distinguishing characters . As for diagnosis above but the extended and apically up-turned lateral lobes of the male pygofer distal shoulder are similar in some Burbungini and rudimentary in Thophini . A straight or curved theca is also widespread within the Cicadidae but the fleshy apical appendages are characteristic for the Cosmopsaltriina . Discussion . The concept of the Cosmopsaltriina has been reviewed by Duffels (1983 , 1986 , 1993 , 1997 ) and Beuk (2002) . Readers are directed to these studies for detailed species accounts and their phylogenetic relationships.
