Cryptotympanini Handlirsch, 1925 View in CoL

Chremistica elenae seychellica View in CoL nom.nov.

= Chremistica elenae seychellensis ( Boulard, 2001f: 136) View in CoL (from Seychelles) secondary homonym of Chremistica pulverulenta seychellensis ( Boulard, 1999a: 79) View in CoL (original genus Antankaria View in CoL ; from Seychelles)

Etymology: from Seychelles, adjective.

Diceroprocta swalei davisi nom.nov.

= Diceroprocta castanea ( Davis, 1916a: 49) View in CoL (original genus Cicada ; from USA) primary homonym of Cicada castanea Gmelin, 1789a: 2116 View in CoL (synonym of Penthimia nigra ( Goeze, 1778a: 161) View in CoL ; widespread European species) = Diceroprocta swalei var. davisi Metcalf, 1963e: 201 View in CoL infrasubspecific

Etymology: The subspecies is named in honor of William Thompson Davis (1862–1945), an entomologist who specialized in Cicadidae, Staten Island Museum ( USA, New York).

Notes: Metcalf (1963e) proposed a replacement name Diceroprocta swalei var. davisi Metcalf, 1963e: 201 for C. castanea Davis , but this name is not available since it is described as infrasubspecific after 1960 (ICZN Article 15.2).

Capcicada absimilis ( Distant, 1897a: 128) View in CoL reinstated

= Capcicada decora ( Germar, 1834a: 79) View in CoL (original genus Cicada ; from Africa) primary homonym of Calliscarta decora ( Fabricius, 1803a: 69) View in CoL (original genus Cicada ; from Venezuela)

Notes: Metcalf (1963e: 53) used Platypleura absimilis ( Distant, 1897) as the valid name for the taxon. He placed Cicada decora Germar, 1834 as a synonym of P. absimilis , but did not specify the reasons of invalidity of C. decora Germar, 1834 , the senior synonym. Villet (1989b: 59), describing Capcicada , and being unaware of the homonymy, designated C. decora Germar, 1834 as the type species of the genus and placed Platypleura absimilis Distant, 1897 in the list of synonyms. This was repeated in the Catalogue of Cicadas by Sanborn (2014). To avoid homonymy, the name Capcicada adsimilis (Distant) is used as a substitute name for Cicada decora Germar , following Metcalf (1963).
