Haphsa sita ( Distant, 1881 ) Wang & Peng & Wei, 2021

Wang, Siyue, Peng, Xiaodong & Wei, Cong, 2021, A review of the cicada genus Haphsa Distant, 1905 with the description of one new species from China (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) and a phylogenetic analysis of Haphsa and its allies, Zootaxa 4991 (3), pp. 523-538 : 530

4. Haphsa sita ( Distant, 1881) comb. n.

Cosmopsaltria sita Distant, 1881: 636 .

Khimbya sita Distant, 1906: 141 .

Changa sita Lee, 2016: 596 .

Haphsa stellata Lee, 2009b: 335 ; Lee, 2016: 596.

Distribution. China (Guangxi), India, Vietnam.

Remarks. This species was formerly attributed to Changa as the type species by Lee (2016), and the same author synonymized H. stellata Lee, 2009 with Changa sita ( Distant, 1881) ( Lee, 2016) . In the present paper, we remove it to Haphsa based on morphological characterization and phylogenetic analysis ( Fig. 4 ). Lee (2016) also transferred H. jsguillotsi (Boulard, 2005) to Changa , but we confirm it is a member of Haphsa (see below). Accordingly, Changa Lee, 2016 syn. n. is synonymized with Haphsa .
