Genus Quesada Distant, 1905c View in CoL View at ENA

Quesada Distant 1905c: 478 View in CoL .

Type species. Cicada gigas Olivier 1790: 750 . (Java).

Remarks. Marshall et al. (2018) reassigned the genus to Fidicinini with the synonymy of the Hyantiini .

Diagnosis. Only Quesada in the Trinidadian Fidicinini has small timbal covers that recurve for only part of its length with an anterior triangular extension and do not cover the timbal. The larger body size (body lengths greater than 30 mm), fore wing basal cell only slightly longer than broad, abdomen about as long as distance between anterior head and posterior of cruciform elevation, and medially angled distal terminus of pygofer distinguish specimens of Quesada .

Distribution. The genus has been reported from almost all New World continental countries with records from the Antilles, Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, and the West Indies ( Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011b; 2013; 2014; 2018; 2019a; 2020b, d; Sanborn & Heath 2012; 2014; 2017; Reis et al. 2015; Maccagnan et al. 2017).
