Moved from Cicadas.

Note: There are no fuzzy/smoky "Z" infuscations in the wings. The lack of these "Z"'s excludes Tibicen species. Given the 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.

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 few odd ball species out west)
