These cicadas are from Brazil.

Sorry i couldn&#8217;t take better pictures (they&#8217;re very small and hard to catch), but i hope it can help you.<br \/>\nAs far as i could see, this cicada seems to belong to the genus Taphura. I saw some cicadas of this genus and it really loks like them (if only the pictures showed that&#8230;). They have a green head and mesonotum, but the abdomen has a different color, probably beige or brown. Their belly seem to be white, with beige legs. Their song starts with clicks from a male, then another male responds to it, and then all males in the place sing together a very fast buzz. Probably i recorded here their &#8220;alarm call&#8221;, to warn the others about the presence of a stranger, &#8217;cause their song was very erratic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Images of this cicada (yeah, they&#8217;re not the best quality):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/cigarra_023.jpg\" alt=\"Jairo\" width=\"390\" height=\"364\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/cigarra_023.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/cigarra_023-300x280.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mar_11_005.jpg\" alt=\"Jairo\" width=\"445\" height=\"439\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mar_11_005.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.cicadamania.com\/cicadas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mar_11_005-300x296.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cicada B:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This one really gets me intrigued! Never saw the cicada (that&#8217;s why i don&#8217;t have pics), but i&#8217;ve heard it a lot! Very low sound, this song is a succession of short calls (ki-ki-ki-ki). Males singing together seem to be duelling. All i can say is it seems to be from genus Dorisiana, but without pictures i cannot prove this.<br \/>\nThis one is really a challenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/21141476\" width=\"640\" height=\"472\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cicada C:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I made this recording in October 5th 2010 (spring), and you can hear the second part of a cicada song (i couldn&#8217;t record the first part). The song starts with a slow sequence of short calls (ki-ki-ki), and then it accelerates and becomes a fast sequence of zizizi sounds. People will say that it sounds like Fidicina mannifera or F. torresi, but i know these two species enough to say that it wasn&#8217;t any of them, along with the fact that they don&#8217;t sing in trees as high as the one in the footage. Could it be Majeorona aper??? They appear in springtime, and i don&#8217;t know their song!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/21141537\" width=\"640\" height=\"472\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few more mystery cicadas from Jairo from the Cigarras do Brasil &mdash; Brazilian Cicadas website.
