Tibicen canicularis
AGREED!
Gerry is 100% correct!

Tibicen robinsonianus has a distribution ranging from the deep South into the the US Midwest - across the Mississippi River into the hill country and Ozarks, but seemingly ending before the Great Plains. Along the Atlantic, its populations seem to terminate shortly north of Virginia (isolated reports of audal records).

T. robinsonianus becomes increasingly rare northward into the Midwest and upper mid-Atlantic states - should the collection data be correct for this cicada, it is unlikely T. robinsonianus.

T. robinsonianus usually has a visible hairline black line that bisects the pronotal collar and a broad well defined ventral black stripe! Compare this image to those of T. robinsonianus from Durhan, NC!
