Diceroprocta vitripennis "complex"
Note: There are no fuzzy/smoky "Z" infuscations towards the wing tips. The lack of these "Z"'s excludes most Tibicen species (except T. pronotalis, dealbatus & cultriformis). Given the sze, shape, long wings, coloration, and locality - Diceroprocta vitripennis is the likely suspect.

This cicada seems quite scattered across the gulf states ranging a good bit north along the Mississippi Valley. I don't know that it is particularly common or easy to collect, but Louisiana, Mississippi, and s. Alabama seem to be the hub for many of the specimens collected in the Southeast.

It's important to point out that there are a few Diceroprocta species that will have the smoky "Z" (incl. D. biconica & D. olympusa in the east and a handfull of other species out west)

NOTE: There is some ambiguity between the southern populations of cicadas id'd as D. vitripennis and D. viridifascia var. bequaerti (D. bequaerti)?
