Odopoea degiacomii<\/em><\/strong> Distant, 1912, was described by British entomologist W. L. Distant in 1812. <\/p>\n

Odopoea degiacomii<\/em> is a visually impressive cicada with a prominent pronotal collar that should inspire thoughts of Dracula the Vampire (like other members of the cicada tribe Zammarini). It won’t suck your blood, but it will suck xylem sap from trees. <\/p>\n

This cicada is found in the Dominican Republic and probably Haiti. <\/p>\n
