Diagnosis. Medium-sized to fairly large cicadas: body length male: 27.5–43 mm, female: 24.5–37 mm. Head dorsally with median black mark enclosing ocelli. Postclypeus fairly strongly produced; rostrum variable in length from just reaching to distinctly passing hind coxae. Pronotum including pronotal collar distinctly wider than head; mesonotum narrower than head. Pronotum with a pair of central fasciae, mesonotum usually with five black fasciae: a median fascia, a pair of paramedian, and a pair of lateral fasciae, but lateral fasciae sometimes absent, and a pair of black spots in front of anterior angles of cruciform elevation. Tegmina and wings hyaline, tegmina either without infuscations, or with only two infuscations at the bases of the 2nd and 3rd apical areas, or with a more or less developed pattern of infuscations at the bases of the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th apical areas, at the apices of the longitudinal veins of apical areas 2–6, and at the apices of the cubital veins CuAl and CuA2. Male operculum elongate, reaching 5th to 7th abdominal segment, operculum black to dark brown along medial and apical margins. Male and female abdomen dorsally often with dark marking, but in some species more or less unicolorous, and ventrally more or less unicolorous, though often darkening distad, and with some black marking. Lateral lobes of male pygofer apically rounded or more or less distinctly protruded, basal part of uncus very narrow and flat to large and distinctly globose, uncus lobes variable in shape, and aedeagus without appendages (Duffels & Zaidi 1998).
