Tacuini
Tribe of cicadas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tacuini are a tribe of cicadas, originally erected by William Lucas Distant in 1904.[1] Most genera were placed previously in the tribe Cryptotympanini, with proposed synonomisation by Marshall et al. (2018);[2] it was later confirmed that Tacuini was valid, having date priority.[3]
