The Tibicen bermudiana<\/em> Verrill (T. bermudianus) if you want the genus and species names to agree, and maybe now Neotibicen bermudianus) is a cicada that was endemic to Bermuda and is now extinct. Its closest relative is the Tibicen lyricen, which is found in the United States (and not extinct). <\/p>\n

Here is a photo of a T. bermudiana from the collection found at the Staten Island Museum:<\/p>\n
