Sorry Alice, I just can't put
Sorry Alice, I just can't put a name on this, though I would roughly hazard that it is akin to O. tristis (but it's not tristis). The oblique angle of the other photo made me think mariposa, but the remainder of the photos clearly show that isn't the case.

dissections needed
You cannot tell the species of Okanagana apart from external characters - dissections are needed, and for most of the species this has never been done, so the characters are not worked out.

For information on how to dissect cicadas, see my newly revised website on http://www4.agr.gc.ca/AAFC-AAC/display-afficher.do?id=1229114037908&lang=eng
