Scieroptera is a genus of true cicada found throughout Asia.[1]
Scieroptera cicadas generally resemble those of the Huechys genus, differing in that the face is not longitudinally furrowed.[2] The head, including the eyes, is slightly broader than the base of the mesonotum.[3] The front of the head is subconical. The pronotum is longer than the head, with lateral margins slightly convex and oblique. The mesonotum is no longer than the pronotum. The tympanal organs are completely exposed with no coverings. The undersides of the front femora are robustly spined. The tegmina is mostly opaque, with eight apical cells. The hindwings are transparent, with six apical cells.
