A Revision of the Genus Cryptotympana (Homoptera, Cicadidae)

A Revision of the Genus Cryptotympana. 11 23dimly appearing as shown in consanguinea.Head wide in proportion to body size, almost as wide as pronotum; frontoclypeusnarrow, depressed anteriorly, furnished with 8-9 undulating transverse striations; labiumextending to middle of metaprepisternal process; lateral dilatation of mescpimeron withrounded apex; f opercula short and oblique, somewhat angulate towards the apices (asin niasana of the acuta group), with the outer margin oblique and slightly emarginate andwith the inner margins overlapping each other at the bases and obliquely straight apically;caudal margin of •£ 7th abdominal sternum widely and triangularly incised; -£ 9thtergum slender, ca 1.3X as long as wide, narrower than anterior margin of 7th sternum;forewing also very similar to that of accipiter, consanguinea, etc. of the accipiter group, but cellCuA shorter and wider; hindwing comparatively short with cell 1A slightly wider thanCuP at the apex; vannus (cell 2A) evenly rounded towards the apex.Male genitalia (Figs. 55-56). Pygofer oval, ca 2.1 X as long as wide with the caudalbeak very long and wide and the ventral lobes apically concealed under the ventrolateralmargin; anal stylus short; uncus lobe comparatively wide, obtusely bent at the subapex,with the apical part hardly lengthened.Body length: 41 mm. Expanse of forewings: 118-126 mm.Distribution. Philippines: Jolo (Sulu Isls.) (Fig. 57).Distant (1906c) included South Sulawesi (Celebes) as one of the type localities ofthis species, but specimens from this area can be identified with an independent newspecies {vide infra); suluensis is, therefore, probably endemic to the Sulu Islands (Jolo) of thePhilippines.Figs. 55-56.Male genitalia (pygofer) of C. suluensis in ventral (55) and lateral (56) views.
