Sinapsaltria
Genus of cicadas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sinapsaltria is a genus of Asian cicadas in the tribe Dundubiini (subtribe Aolina); it was originally erected by Masayo Kato in 1940,[1] who named it after China (Latin: Sina-) and the Greek ψαλτρία (meaning 'female harper'), which is an ending for several generic names within the family Cicadidae. Species have been recorded from Vietnam and Hainan island.[2]
