T. Davis:<sup>1<\/sup><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\nThe song of pruinosa is quite unlike that of any of the other large native cicadas, and may be rendered as z-zape, z-zape, z-zape. The insect often remains quiet all day, singing from about 3 or 4 P. M. until dark.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Identification Key by Wm. T. Davis:<sup>1<\/sup><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\nA. Large, heavy bodied species ; head broad, uncus simple, and first cross vein in the fore wings starting from radius 3 far back, or about one third distant from base of first marginal cell.<\/p>\n<p>B. Uncus longer than broad. Black species with green or greenish markings and black area on the central part of the abdomen beneath<\/p>\n<p>C. Hind margin of pronotum or collar, green or greenish.<\/p>\n<p>A narrow irregular area of black on the underside of the abdomen; opercula short and broad, and usually in the males an attenuated, pruinose stripe each side on the dorsum of segment three.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Teneral (soft) and sclerotized (hard) of an N. pruinosus<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Teneral-soft-and-sclerotized-hard-of-an-N.-pruinosus.jpg\" alt=\"Teneral (soft) and sclerotized (hard) of an N. pruinosus\" width=\"405\" height=\"378\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Teneral-soft-and-sclerotized-hard-of-an-N.-pruinosus.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Teneral-soft-and-sclerotized-hard-of-an-N.-pruinosus-300x280.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/it-is-possible-to-identify-tibicen-just-after-they-have-molted\/\">Photo by Paul Krombholz<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Classification:<\/h2>\n<p>Family: Cicadidae<br \/>\nSubfamily: Cicadinae<br \/>\nTribe: Cryptotympanini<br \/>\nSubtribe: Cryptotympanina<br \/>\nGenus: Neotibicen<br \/>\nSpecies: Neotibicen tibicen<br \/>\nSub-species: Neotibicen pruinosus fulvus Beamer, 1924<br \/>\nSub-species: Neotibicen pruinosus pruinosus (Say, 1825)\t<\/p>\n<h2>List of sources<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Davis, W.T. 1918.
