Cicada Dilobopyga ornaticeps

Dilobopyga ornaticeps

A cicada species of the Cicadidae family.
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).
