Distribution. Quesada gigas may have the most extensive north to south range of any cicada species. Specimens have been recorded from as far south as central Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Antilles, the West Indies, Trinidad & Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela, with the northernmost expansion extending into Texas in the southern United States ( Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2014; 2018; 2019a; 2020a, c, d, e, 2023b; Sanborn & Heath 2014; Nunes et al. 2023). Canada ( Sanborn & Heath 2017), Suriname ( Sanborn 2020d), and Chile ( Sanborn 2021b) are the only countries in the continental New World without a record of the species. Ruffinelli (1970) reported the species from Yacaré, Salto, and Montevideo in Uruguay.
