Davis&#8217; description<sup>1<\/sup> from 1917:<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\nType male from Santa Catalina Mts., Tucson, Arizona, July 23, 1917 (Harry H. Knight). Davis collection. <\/p>\n<p>Head above black with a dark yellowish spot each side between the antenna and the eye and an irregular one each side of the ocelli at the back of the head and extending to back of the eye. Pronotum blackish, shining, with the posterior marginal band olive colored, the band extending along the sides to the anterior angles, the posterior angles of the pronotum, however, are fuscous. Mesonotum shining chocolate-colored, the elevated X olive, and the sides of that color also to the base of the fore wings where there is an orange spot seen only when the insect is expanded. The outer sides of the W-mark are faintly outlined in part with olive. Tergum shining, the tympanal areas rather conspicuous and chocolate-colored. The succeeding segments blacker with the posterior margins faintly chocolate-colored. Last segment with a pruinose spot each side, and more conspicuously chocolate-colored than segments three to seven. Fore wing with the costal margin yellowish to the end of the radial cell, darker beyond; subcostal vein black; first and second cross veins slightly infuscated. The basal cell of each fore wing nearly clear, but blackened along the anterior margin. The flaps of both fore and hind wings are gray in color. Beneath pruinose, black about the eyes, where there are some long, silken, white hairs. The transverse rugse are yellowish and somewhat blackened where they join the shallow frontal sulcus. The legs are chocolate-colored with lighter spots and dashes, the hind pair being lighter colored than the other two pair. The opercula are pruinose, the lower extremities of the inner margins not quite touching, and the ends rounded. The ventral segments are dark chocolate-colored, central ones being lighter posteriorly. The last segment is rounded at the extremity and the valve is black. The external parts of the genitalia chocolate-colored and black. <\/p>\n<p>Male Type <\/p>\n<p>Length of body: 24mm.<br \/>\nWidth of head across eyes: 9.5mm<br \/>\nExpanse of fore wings: 70mm.<br \/>\nGreatest width of operculum: 5mm.<br \/>\nGreatest length of operculum: 4.5mm <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Classification:<\/h2>\n<p>Family: Cicadidae<br \/>\nSubfamily: Cicadinae<br \/>\nTribe: Cryptotympanini<br \/>\nSubtribe: Cryptotympanina<br \/>\nGenus: Diceroprocta<br \/>\nSpecies: Diceroprocta knighti (Davis, 1917)<\/p>\n<h2>List of sources<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Wm.
