Sanborn, Allen F., 2024, Generic redescription of Chinaria Davis, 1934 with a new cicada genus for the Dominican species previously assigned to the genus (Hemiptera: Cicadidae: Cicadinae: Zammarini), Zootaxa 5447 (2), pp. 263-272 : 264

Tribe Zammarini Distant, 1905c

Zammararia Distant 1905c: 380.

Dazini Kato 1932: 171.

Type genus. Zammara Amyot & Audinet-Serville 1843: 468 .

Remarks. Zammarini are the New World cicadas with ampliated lateral pronotal margins, generally hyaline fore wings ( Juanaria poeyi ( Guérin-Méneville, 1856) has completely opaque fore wings), hindwings that generally are spotted, and species possess a timbal cover that partially or entirely exposes the timbal. Additional distinguishing characteristics of species assigned to the tribe are the combination of hind coxae possessing a large inner protuberance, timbal covers that are reduced dorsally but cover part of the lateral timbal, a basal pygofer lobe that is usually bifurcate, an uncus that lacks a dorsal crest, and an aedeagus that is restrained by ventral apophyses ( Marshall et al. 2018). The genera are currently assigned to three subtribes ( Sanborn 2018, 2020c).
