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 Abroma minor Jacobi, 1917 Abroma minor Jacobi 1917: 525 . (Tulear, Southwestern Madagascar ) Remarks.—Another of the smaller species, body length 15.5 mm , wingspan 35–40 mm ( Jacobi 1917 ; specimen in hand). It is castaneous heavily marked with piceous, the abdomen is covered with long golden pile except long silvery pile posterior to timbal cavity and the posterior dorsolateral tergites 6 and 7 and all of tergite 8. Distribution.—The species is known only from Madagascar ( Metcalf 1963b ). Jacobi (1917) reported the species from Tulear, Southwestern Madagascar .

Remarks.—The tribe was erected recently based on a five gene phylogenetic tree to based on a deep origin within the Cicadettinae for the genus Nelcyndana Distant, 1906 ( Marshall et al . 2018b ). The upper pygofer lobe is small and superimposed over the unornamented basal pygofer lobe and is unique to the Nelcyndanini along with the divided uncus that has migrated to the lateral extremities of abdominal segment 10 to appear that they are accessories to the claspers ( Marshall et al . 2018b ).
