Kikihia Ochrina
''Kikihia ochrina'' (commonly known as the April green cicada) is a species of insect endemic to New Zealand. This species has a three-year life cycle and adults are bright green in colour and are most commonly seen in the month of April in the North Island. Taxonomy The British entomologist Francis Walker first described ''K. ochrina'' in 1858 as ''Cicada ochrina'' from a specimen presented to the Natural History Museum, London by Colonel Daniel Bolton. George Hudson described ''K. ochrina'' in 1891 and, thinking it was a new species, named it ''Cicada aprilina''. Description ''K. ochrina'' is bright green in colour with only a few dark markings, the most prominent of which are two sickle shaped lines and two dots in the middle section of the thorax. This species can be distinguished from its close relative '' Kikihia dugdalei'' as it has green legs without the pink patches that mark the legs of ''K. dugdalei''. Male specimens of ''K. ochrina'' also always lack the pair o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
