Introduction 
Under the abbreviated system used here, and to be used for subsequent 
portions of the Cicadoidea catalogue, the literature references are cited by 
author, year, and key letter, e.g., Fabricius 1802a. The full reference can be 
obtained by consulting the Bibliography of the Cicadoidea in which authors 
are arranged alphabetically, and their works chronologically under the 
author’s name. This method of citation eliminates the necessity for a 
complete literature citation in the catalogue proper. 
The Family Cicadidae consists of 131 genera, 4 subgenera, and 1,162 
species The insects included are Cicadoidea with tympanal coverings 
present.
