Quesada Distant 1905c: 478 View in CoL .

TYPE SPECIES. Cicada gigas Olivier 1790: 750 . (Java).

REMARKS. The genus was recently reassigned to Fidicinini with the synonymy of the Hyantiini ( Marshall et al. 2018) and is assigned to the Guyalnina here. Only Quesada in the Bolivian Fidicinini has small timbal covers that recurve at least partially and do not cover the timbal. This is one of the largest if not the largest Bolivian cicada (body lengths greater than 30 mm). Species are characterized by a short, triangular head with prominent, laterally projecting eyes, a strongly arched pronotum with an irregularly serrated angled lateral margin, an abdomen about as long as the distance between the apex of the postclypeus and posterior cruciform elevation, the convex, translucent male sternites, with fore wings about three times as long as broad ( Distant 1905c; Sanborn & Heath 2017).

DISTRIBUTION. The two species of the genus have been reported from the Antilles, Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad & Tobago, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, and the West Indies ( Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011b; 2013; 2014a; 2018c; Sanborn & Heath 2014; Reis et al. 2015; Maccagnan et al. 2017).
