Cicada - Neotibicen similaris
Copyright © 2006 Jim Barrett

Cicada - Neotibicen similaris
Savannah, on Wilmington Island, Chatham County, Georgia, USA
August 31, 2006
Size: 5.2 cm
Length (head to wingtip) 5.2 cm. Body length 3.5 cm. Upper abdomen has light to moderate patches of sericeous hairs, the upper thorax less so. Sericeous hairs on entire underside are overall denser, with some patches being pruinose. I believe it is a Tibicen, but I'm not sure on the species.

Moved from Southern Dog Day Cicada.

ID by Bill Reynolds confirmed by Kathy Hill
NOTE:
1st) the opercula are pointed and not evenly rounded
2nd) the head and pronotum contours & ratios are off for davisi
3rd) the lack of infuscation along the veins of tips/wing margin.
4th) color (T. davisi can be brown, but considering 1, 2, & 3 above - this is "similaris"!!)
