    SCOPOLIA NO 54: 1-16(2004) Frequency modulated song of the cicada Maua albigutta (WALKER 1856) (Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadoidea) from South East Asia Matija GOGALA1), Tomi TRILAR2), Uro KOZINA3) and Hans DUFFELS4) UDC (UDK) 595.75(595):591.1 534.4/.6:595.75(595) ABSTRACT The song and calling behaviour of the cicada Maua albigutta (WALKER, 1856) from S.E. Asia is described. The majority of the investigations have been carried out in Endau Rompin National Park, Malaysia. The calling song comprises three main parts (A - C) with characteristic amplitude and, especially in the third part, with intense frequency modulation. The duration of the whole song is 38.2 ± 5.1 s and is often repeated without interruption many times in succession. Amplitude and frequency modulation is accompanied with movements of the abdomen and during frequency modulated calls also with changes of its shape. Songs from other localities (Kuala Lompat Malaysia, Krui Sumatra) are slightly different but clearly follow the same general pattern, and can be attributed with certainty to the same species. Key words: Maua albigutta, cicada, song, acoustics, frequency modulation IZVLEÈEK Frekvenèno modulirani napev krada Maua albigutta (WALKER 1856) (Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadoidea) iz jugovzhodne Azije. -V èlanku sta opisana napev in akustièno vedenje krada Maua albigutta (WALKER, 1856) iz jugovzhodne Azije.

This imper- ative followed in unison by the males of the same population, finds an anthropic and trag- ic end, the cicada in question representing a proteinic manna appreciated by Thais.

[ISSN 0040-7496]. Published 1 June 2002. The Purana carmente group is proposed for a supposedly monophyletic group of seven cicada species from the Oriental region. Two species of this group are redescribed: P. carmente from Java and Sumatra, and P. barbosae from Jolo (Philippines); the latter species is taken out of syn- onymy with P. carmente. Four species are described here for the first time: P. hermes sp. n. from Sabah and Sarawak, P. infuscata sp. n. from Borneo, P. obducta sp. n. from the Malayan Penin- sula, Sabah, and Sarawak, and P. sagittata sp. n. from the Malayan Peninsula. P. dimidia, which was recently described from China and Vietnam, also belongs to this group. A key to identify the males and distribution maps of the species are provided. Correspondence: M. A.

  • An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna
    © Copyright Australian Museum, 2005 Records of the Australian Museum (2005) Vol. 57: 375–446. ISSN 0067-1975 An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna M.S. MOULDS Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. The history of cicada family classification is reviewed and the current status of all previously proposed families and subfamilies summarized. All tribal rankings associated with the Australian fauna are similarly documented. A cladistic analysis of generic relationships has been used to test the validity of currently held views on family and subfamily groupings. The analysis has been based upon an exhaustive study of nymphal and adult morphology, including both external and internal adult structures, and the first comparative study of male and female internal reproductive systems is included. Only two families are justified, the Tettigarctidae and Cicadidae. The latter are here considered to comprise three subfamilies, the Cicadinae, Cicadettinae n.stat. (= Tibicininae auct.) and the Tettigadinae (encompassing the Tibicinini, Platypediidae and Tettigadidae). Of particular note is the transfer of Tibicina Amyot, the type genus of the subfamily Tibicininae, to the subfamily Tettigadinae. The subfamily Plautillinae (containing only the genus Plautilla) is now placed at tribal rank within the Cicadinae. The subtribe Ydiellaria is raised to tribal rank. The American genus Magicicada Davis, previously of the tribe Tibicinini, now falls within the Taphurini. Three new tribes are recognized within the Australian fauna, the Tamasini n.tribe to accommodate Tamasa Distant and Parnkalla Distant, Jassopsaltriini n.tribe to accommodate Jassopsaltria Ashton and Burbungini n.tribe to accommodate Burbunga Distant.

À Prof. Paula por me ter confiado as suas belas cigarras de Marrocos, e ter-me dado a oportunidade única de olhar com olhos de ver a sua colecção bem completa de cigarras mesmo interessantes! E falando em olhos... Por me ter emprestado os seus na descrição das cores das cigarras... Sem a Professora as cigarras ficavam-se por castanhas e pronto! A sua dedicação, boa disposição e acessibilidade quase ubíqua às minhas perguntas permitiu-me avançar sempre com o trabalho e com a escrita. O Prof. Octávio, chefe do grupo, já é conhecido pela genialidade quem tem em analisar os dados e ver para lá do que nos parece óbvio! Comprovei que é bem verdade quando trouxe dados preliminares do BEAST e o Professor para além de ver aquilo que era óbvio conseguiu ver para além lá daquela primeira camada e adicionar muito mais informação que aquela que conseguiria observar. Ainda que o Professor estivesse sempre 125% do tempo ocupado sempre conseguia arranjar um tempo para discutir novos métodos, novas abordagens aos meus datasets, novos artigos e resultados.

Moscow, ID 83843 http://www.palouseprairie.org/ Vol. III No. 2 June 2010 The regular meeting date for the Palouse Prairie Foundation is the 1st Thursday of each month. Check the PPF website for updates and locations. Recent Field Trips On June 1, 2020 we visited the Whelan Cemetery remnant in Whitman County. This was one of Daubenmire’s sites and contains some rare Palouse plant species. See “Insects of the Palouse” below for some information on several insect species found there. The trip was led by Dave Skinner with Tim Hatten providing the information on insects. On June 5, 2010 Smoot Hill (the George E. Hudson Biological Reserve), which is under the protection and management of Washington State University, was visited. There are several Palouse Prairie remnants on the site as well as some associated ponderosa pine habitats. Tim Hatten emphasized the arthropod segment of the wildlife of the Palouse. We spent a good part of a very pleasant Saturday on this field trip and learned a lot about the insects of the Palouse. The trip was led by Tim Hatten and Dave Skinner. June 16, 2010. We went on a field trip near Troy to see Tanna Ragan’s restoration work and help inventory what germinated in this spring’s plots. Tanna is working on putting native forbs into an existing CRP grass stand to improve diversity and provide more pollinator habitat. The trip was led by Tanna Ragan and Trish Heekin. Upcoming Palouse Prairie Foundation Field Trips This is the nesting season for many of our local birds.

  • Taxonomic Review of Cicadidae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) from Taiwan, Part 2
    INS. KOREANA, 20(3, 4): 359~392. December 30, 2003 Taxonomic Review of Cicadidae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) from Taiwan, Part 2. Dundubiini (A Part of Cicadina) with Two New Species Young June LEE* and Masami HAYASHI1) Laboratory of Insect Systematics, School of Agricultural Biotechnology, Seoul National University, Suwon 441-744, Korea; E-mail: [email protected] 1)Department of Biology, Faculty of Education, Saitama University, Saitama 338-8570, Japan; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract As the second part of the taxonomic review of Cicadidae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) from Taiwan, 17 species belonging to six genera in a cicadine tribe, Dundubiini (a part of the subtribe Cicadina), are treated in this paper. Two new species, Euterpnosia elongata Lee and Euterpnosia laii Lee, are described. Informations on the biology and male chirpings are also provided. The distribution data of all known species is given. Key words description, distribution, fauna INTRODUCTION This series of papers aims to cover and provide the available information on the taxonomy, biology, and distribution of the cicadid species in Taiwan. In this study, however, only adult specimens are examined. A total of 55 species belonging to 21 genera are listed as the Taiwanese cicadas, including a new genus and four new species throughout the present study. Five species are synonymized. Three species are newly considered as erroneous records from Taiwan due to mislabeling or misidentification. In the first part of this study, 20 species under nine genera with four cicadine tribes, Platypleurini, Tibicenini, Polyneurini, and Dundubiini (subtribe Dundubiina) were included (Lee and Hayashi, 2003). As the second part, this paper includes 17 species under six genera in a cicadine tribe, Dundubiini (a part of the subtribe Cicadina).
