Pomponia (cicada)

Pomponia is a genus of Asian cicadas now placed in the monogeneric tribe Pomponiini Kato, 1932 (subfamily Cicadinae).^[1][2] About four species previously placed in Pomponia, containing the largest cicada species found on earth, have recently been moved to Megapomponia.^[3][4] 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);^[5] subsequent revisions include moves to Aetanna (e.g. P. thalia).
