Subfamily CICADINAE Latreille, 1802 View in CoL Tribe DUNDUBIINI Atkinson, 1886

DIAGNOSIS. — Pronotal collar usually dentate laterally. Wings hyaline. Timbal cover well developed. Male abdominal sternites thin and basically translucent if not coated with dark color(s) (as also seen in sister tribes like Cicadini and Leptopsaltriini ). Male abdominal sternites without tubercle-like projections. Uncus usually bifurcate, but in a few cases, fused and developed to a large uncus covering ventral side of pygofer. Aedeagus thin. Basal lobe of pygofer absent or indistinct.

INCLUDED GENERA. — Dundubia Amyot & Audinet- Serville, 1843, Macrosemia Kato, 1925 , Crassopsaltria Boulard, 2008 , Champaka Distant, 1905 , Lethama Distant, 1905 , Platylomia Stål, 1870 , Minilomia Lee, 2013 , Megapomponia Boulard, 2005 , Orientopsaltria Kato, 1944 , Ayesha Distant, 1905 , Sinosemia Matsumura, 1927 , Meimuna Distant, 1905 , Sinapsaltria Kato, 1940 , Sinotympana Lee, 2009 , Haphsa Distant, 1905 , Kaphsa Lee, 2012 , Zaphsa n. gen., and Khimbya Distant, 1905 (18 genera).

Moulds (2005) placed Mata Distant, 1906 in Dundubiini , but it cannot be placed in any of the following subtribes. Mata is transferred to Oncotympanina as Mata has the following common characters: medial pronotal collar very narrow; both wings hyaline; male operculum wider than long; male opercula widely separated; timbal cover prominently globose; timbal concealed by timbal cover in dorsal view; aedeagus thin.

REMARKS. — Dundubiini by Moulds (2005) was a similar concept to Cicadini by Lee & Hayashi (2003), Lee (2008, 2010a, 2010b, 2011, 2013a) and Lee & Hill (2010), except for the exclusion of Cicadina (currently monotypic). This is because his Dundubiini comprised most of the genera belonging to the subtribes Dundubiina , Cosmopsaltriina , Psithyristriina , Oncotympanina , Leptopsaltriina , and Tosenina in the sense as referred to in the first paragraph in Introduction of the present paper. The Dundubiini in the present paper is equivalent to Dundubiina by Moulds (2005) and thus should be a sister taxon of Cosmopsaltriina , Psithyristriina , Oncotympanina , Leptopsaltriina , Tosenina, and probably Cicadina , of which Leptopsaltriina was already elevated to Leptopsaltriini by Lee & Emery (2013).

Basal lobe of pygofer distinct or indistinct.

INCLUDED GENERA. — Dundubia , Macrosemia , Crassopsaltria , Champaka , Lethama , Platylomia , and Minilomia .

TYPE GENUS. — Megapomponia Boulard, 2005 , by present designation.

DIAGNOSIS. — Pronotal collar very broad posteriorly. Fore wing with infuscations on radial and radiomedial crossveins. Male operculum uptriangular, about as long as wide, extending slightly beyond posterior margin of sternite II. Male abdomen cylindrical or obconical. Uncus bifurcate. Basal lobe of pygofer absent.

TYPE GENUS. — Aola Distant, 1905 (junior synonym of Haphsa Distant, 1905 ).

DIAGNOSIS. — Pronotal collar narrow posteriorly. Fore wing usually with infuscations on radial and radiomedial crossveins.

REMARKS. — Although the present concept of the subtribe with above mentioned characters is quite different from the original concept of Aolina Boulard, 2012 , the name Aolina is used as long as Aola Distant, 1905 (junior synonym of Haphsa ) belongs to this group.
