NICE PIC! - D. apache

This is D. apache.
The reddish eyes, bone colored pronotal collar and location are all congruent with this species as seenin Maricopa Co., AZ.

apache (?)

NOTE: There is still some debate as to how one can accurately make a clear distincton among cinctifera, apache and semicincta.

All three are very similar on several levels and subject to geographic variability (with over lap). Use of the male operculae and shape seems preferred.

The calls of the three taxa are also quite similar and may not be adequately diagnostic for species id. in the field (?).

Nice find! What a beauty!

With colors like that we doubt it's a Tibicen, but rather something in Tibicininae here

perhaps Diceroprocta apache

Thanks, Balabans! I poked around a bit more on the internet, and discovered that Diceroprocta apache, the Apache Cicada, is a good match.
