Lyristes plebejus or Tibicen plebejus?

Filed under: France | Italy | Ivan Garcia | Lyristes | Spain | Tacuini (Cryptotympanini) | Tibicen | Turkey — Tags: — Dan @ 1:01 am

Lyristes plebejus is a cicada found in most of Europe and middle-eastern Asia. There is an ongoing debate over its genus. Some say Lyristes, and some say Tibicen. I don’t have an opinion on the matter, but most folks in Europe say Lyristes plebejus, so I’m leading with that name.
