Pomponia (cicada)

Pomponia is a genus of Asian cicadas now placed in the monogeneric tribe Pomponiini Kato, 1932 (subfamily Cicadinae). About four species previously placed in Pomponia, containing the largest cicada species found on earth, have recently been moved to Megapomponia. However, the remaining species still form a very heterogeneous group and Duffels and Hayashi (2006) suggested that several species should probably be transferred to genera such as Terpnosia (e.g. P. similis); subsequent revisions include moves to Aetanna (e.g. P. thalia).
