Cyclochilini
''Cyclochila'' is a genus of cicada native to eastern Australia. Two species are recognised, the greengrocer (''Cyclochila australasiae ''Cyclochila australasiae'' is a species of cicada and one of Australia's most familiar insects. It is distributed through coastal regions of southeastern Australia. Green specimens are commonly known as green grocers and yellow ones as yellow m ...'') and the northern greengrocer ('' C. virens''). ''Cyclochila'' is the only genus of the tribe Cyclochilini.

Cicadinae
The Cicadinae are a subfamily of cicadas, containing the translucent cicadas. They are robust cicadas and many have gaudy colors, but they generally lack the butterfly-like opaque wing markings found in many species of the related Tibiceninae. Systematics This large subfamily is here divided into tribes. Other schemes exist, which usually have a coarser subdivision. Some, however, merge the Tibiceninae here whole or partly. The genera given below were substantially revised 2010 through 2018 due to additional morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis. The following tribes belong to the subfamily Cicadinae: # Arenopsaltriini Moulds, 2018 # Burbungini Moulds, 2005 # Cicadatrini Distant, 1905 # Cicadini Latreille, 1802 # Cicadmalleuini Boulard & Puissant, 2013 # Cosmopsaltriini Kato, 1932 # Cryptotympanini Handlirsch, 1925 # Cyclochilini Distant, 1904 # Distantadini Orian, 1963 # Dundubiini Atkinson, 1886 # Durangonini Moulds & Marshall, 2018 # Fidicinini Distant ...

Cyclochila Australasiae
''Cyclochila australasiae'' is a species of cicada and one of Australia's most familiar insects. It is distributed through coastal regions of southeastern Australia. Green specimens are commonly known as green grocers and yellow ones as yellow mondays. It is one of the loudest insects in the world. Taxonomy ''Cyclochila australasiae'' was first described as ''Tettigonia australasiae'' in 1805 by amateur zoologist Edward Donovan, who reported that it was common in New South Wales and many specimens had been collected and sent to England. Ernst Friedrich Germar named it ''Cicada olivacea'' in 1830. It was the second Australian species of cicada described after the double drummer (''Thopha saccata''). It was formerly commonly known as the Great Green Cicada; in addition, the various colour forms have different vernacular names, including Yellow Monday for a common yellow morph; Chocolate Soldier for a rare dark tan form; Blue Moon for a rare turquoise form; and Masked Devil fo ...

Cicada
The cicadas () are a superfamily, the Cicadoidea, of insects in the order Hemiptera (true bugs). They are in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, along with smaller jumping bugs such as leafhoppers and froghoppers. The superfamily is divided into two families, the Tettigarctidae, with two species in Australia, and the Cicadidae, with more than 3,000 species described from around the world; many species remain undescribed. Cicadas have prominent eyes set wide apart, short antennae, and membranous front wings. They have an exceptionally loud song, produced in most species by the rapid buckling and unbuckling of drumlike tymbals. The earliest known fossil Cicadomorpha appeared in the Upper Permian period; extant species occur all around the world in temperate to tropical climates. They typically live in trees, feeding on watery sap from xylem tissue, and laying their eggs in a slit in the bark. Most cicadas are cryptic. The vast majority of species are active during the day as adults, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hemiptera Of Australia
Hemiptera (; ) is an order of insects, commonly called true bugs, comprising over 80,000 species within groups such as the cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, assassin bugs, bed bugs, and shield bugs. They range in size from to around , and share a common arrangement of piercing-sucking mouthparts. The name "true bugs" is often limited to the suborder Heteroptera. Entomologists reserve the term ''bug'' for Hemiptera or Heteroptera,Gilbert Waldbauer. ''The Handy Bug Answer Book.'' Visible Ink, 1998p. 1. which does not include other arthropods or insects of other orders such as ants, bees, beetles, or butterflies. In some variations of English, all terrestrial arthropods (including non-insect arachnids, and myriapods) also fall under the colloquial understanding of ''bug''. Many insects with "bug" in their common name, especially in American English, belong to other orders; for example, the lovebug is a fly and the Maybug and ladybug are beetles.
