Ordo: Hemiptera
Familia: Cicadidae
Genus: Nipponosemia
Name
Nipponosemia virescens Kato, 1926 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Nipponosemia virescens Kato, 1926: 172; Hayashi 1979[1]: 262; Duffels and van der Laan 1985: 164; Chou et al. 1997[2]: 125; Lee and Hayashi 2004[3]: 62.
Material examined
No specimen available.
Biology
This species is found in lowlands. Adults appear from April to July and both sexes are attracted to electric light at night (Lee and Hayashi 2004[3]).
Distribution
China (Taiwan).
Remarks
Chou et al. (1997)[2] incorrectly recorded this species from Japan. Considering the morphological similarity between this species and Nipponosemia terminalis,Lee and Hayashi (2004)[3] suggested that they may represent one species and Nipponosemia virescens should be a kind of geographical variation within Nipponosemia terminalis, and the identity of this species needs to be confirmed when material becomes available. We included this species in the key in this paper according to the photograph provided by Lee and Hayashi (2004)[3].
