\"Gigatibicen\"
For some reason I associate “Giga” with “Gigabytes” and storage media like Flash drives, which explains this joke image.<\/small><\/p>\n

Over the past two years there have been quite a few updates to the genera of the cicadas that were organized under the Tibicen genus earlier this decade. <\/p>\n

The most recent paper by Young June Lee introduces the genera Gigatibicen, Ameritibicen, and Paratibicen<\/strong> 1<\/sup>. Earlier this year there was a paper by Allen Sanborn and Maxine Heath that introduced the genus Megatibicen 3<\/sup>, and in 2015 there was a paper by Kathy Hill and others that introduced Neotibicen and Hadoa 2<\/sup>. <\/p>\n

See the end of the article for links to these papers, and related articles on CicadaMania.com.<\/p>\n
