Cicada - Dilobopyga ornaticeps

Also around Mount Mahawu, Sulawesi.
I have got an ID kindly provided by an expert in the field: Hans Duffels entomologist at Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden The Netherlands. I am really thankful!

BTW, the species is anyway tentative because according to Hans, to get certainty about the determination, the male genital must be prepared (I guess dissected and observed under the microscope).

This is definitely an adult...the two cicadas look very similar, and seem to be the same species. I have seen individuals of a particular species (in the northeastern US) that have different eye color. So, maybe it's just individual variation? But, I could be wrong. Hope you get a definitive answer! Posted 5 years ago
