New species of the cicada genus Semia Matsumura (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) from China and a phylogeny of Semia spp. and their relatives based on molecular data
2014
Two new cicada species, Semia brevidilata, sp. nov. and Semia tibetensis, sp. nov., are described from China. Semia majuscula, a newly recorded species to China, is re-described, as some new characteristics are recognised which may be useful for further taxonomic and phylogenetic analysis of this genus and its allies. Partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences of five Semia species and relatives belonging to the genera Pomponia Stal and Psithyristria Stal are further analysed to confirm the validity of related new species and to provide a useful reference for the identification of Semia. A key to all species of Semia is provided, and the phylogenetic relationships among species of Semia and their relatives are discussed.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:64144283-8CCE-4687-9D07-2033939165E7
