Cacama furcata
Baja California Cactus-Dodger
Cacama furcata is a cicada species in the family Cicadidae, first described by Davis in 1919. It is one of several 'cactus-dodger' cicadas in the genus Cacama, which are associated with arid environments and cactus hosts. The species is known from the Baja California peninsula and adjacent regions of Mexico. Like related Cacama species, it likely exhibits adaptations for life in xeric habitats including fast flight and specialized host plant associations.
Cacama longirostris
Decorated Cactus-Dodger
Cacama longirostris is a cicada species in the family Cicadidae, described by Distant in 1881. It is known from Central America, particularly Mexico. The species belongs to the genus Cacama, commonly referred to as "cactus dodgers" due to their association with cactus hosts. Like other members of this genus, it likely exhibits adaptations for navigating spiny vegetation.
Cornuplura
Pinto Cicadas
Cornuplura is a genus of cicadas in the family Cicadidae, established by Davis in 1944. The genus contains at least three described species: C. curvispinosa, C. nigroalbata, and C. rudis. Members are known as "Pinto Cicadas." The genus is part of the tribe Tacuini within the subfamily Cicadinae.
Hadoa bifida
Tablelands Sun-Singer
Hadoa bifida is a North American cicada species in the family Cicadidae, originally described as Cicada bifida by Davis in 1916 and later transferred to the genus Hadoa. The species is commonly known as the Tablelands Sun-Singer. It occurs in the southwestern and south-central United States, including Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. As a member of the cicada family, it is presumed to be a subterranean root-feeder as a nymph and an aerial, plant-sap feeding adult, though specific life history details have not been documented.
Hadoa parallela
Corrupted Sun-Singer
Hadoa parallela is a cicada species in the family Cicadidae, distributed across the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The species was originally described by Davis in 1923 under the genus Tibicen before being reclassified to Hadoa. Like other cicadas, it produces acoustic signals for communication. The common name 'Corrupted Sun-Singer' reflects its calling behavior.
Hadoa simplex
Madrean Grassland Sun-Singer
Hadoa simplex is a cicada species in the family Cicadidae, originally described by Davis in 1941 as a subspecies of Tibicen bifidus before being elevated to species status and transferred to the genus Hadoa. It is known from Arizona and is associated with Madrean grassland habitats. The species is one of relatively few confirmed observations, with limited documented occurrence data.
