Miranha imbellis<\/em> (Walker, 1858)<\/strong> can be found in Mexico and Central America.<\/p>\n

Miranha imbellis<\/em> is a member of the Zammarini<\/strong> tribe of cicadas, known for their Dracula\/Vampire-style pronotal collars. One way to sort the M. imbellis<\/em> from other members of this tribe is the infuscations (dark colorations) on its wings are relatively pale compared to Zammara<\/em> cicadas, but not absent like the Odopoea azteca<\/em> or Daza montezuma<\/em>, and more obvious than Odopoea degiacomii<\/em>. See this page to compare<\/a>. <\/p>\n
