Resh Cicada (Megatibicen resh)Observer
crystalbrooks2012Description
Domain: Eukarya
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda

Family: Cicadidae (Cicadas)
Genus: Magicicada
Species: Tibicen pruinosa
Common Name: Cicadas
Other Common Names
Locusts, Harvestfly, Jarfly, chicharra (Spanish), cigale (French) Zhi Liao (Chinese)
Interesting fact: How loud are cicadas? Some have been measured at 100 decibels at 20 yards away, which is loud enough to be heard over a lawnmower!

Plains Cicada (Megatibicen dealbatus)Observer
vicfazio3Description
a half dozen species of Tibicen are known in the region. T. dorsatus is perhaps the best know. This particular one was among thousands of its brethren along the east shore of Tom Steed Reservoir, Kiowa Co. A substantial beast; one flew into the car and struck me in the head at the base of the skull ... an attention-getting impact.

Tibicen pruinosus, "Scissors Grinder Cicada"
http://bugguide.net/node/view/6967
Tuscumbia, Colbert County, Alabama, USA
coll. M. Reynolds (w/ B. Reynolds & G. Reynolds)
June-July 2010
Individuals from this region often share characters typical of Tibicen pruinosus & winnemanna. Somewhere in the upper mid-South (Appalachia into the Tennessee River Valley ... west to the Mississippi River), there seems to be a break down in the delineating characters between T. pruinosus and T. winnemanna ... detailed studies of these populations are needed to untangle the relationships.
NOTE: Both "pruinosus" and "winnemanna" may be encountered in the literature as belonging to the "same species" (=subspecies of T. pruinosus) or as distinct taxa. A third taxon, T. latifasciatus, may also be considered a subspecies of pruinosus in some lit.; however, latifasciatus is by far the most distinct member of this complex.
To compare members of the "pruinosus complex", please refer to the following links:

Found this little guy playing dead on the sidewalk, which is consistent with the behavioral description provided on bugguide.net. I helped him/her find a safer place than the middle of the sidewalk. He/she was definitely not actually dead.

Dark Lyric Cicada (Neotibicen lyricen ssp. engelhardti)Observer

Tibicen lyricen ssp. lyricen form engelhardti
Raleigh and Garner, Wake County, North Carolina, USA
Collected and photographed by Bill Reynolds, NC Museum of Natural Sciences, 2005-2008.
Tibicen lyricen lyricen f. engelhardti (nr. engelhardti) is not a subspecies but rather an upland color variant (phenotype). The cicadas pictured above, best exemplify the greater half or more of the T. lyricen specimens found in central and western NC (incl. Raleigh, NC). It is important to note that typical color forms of the lyric cicada (f. lyricen) often occur within engelhardti populations and vice versa. The various color forms within this taxon better fit a clinal pattern of phenotypic traits and less clear subspecific variation (also supported by molecular analysis).
