Abstract

This paper provides the first faunal checklist for the family Cicadidae (Insecta: Hemiptera) in Luzon (including Marinduque), Philippines, comprising 33 species belonging to 12 genera. Six new species, Oncotympana grandis sp. nov., Oncotympana simonae sp. nov., Oncotympana brevis sp. nov., Oncotympana undata sp. nov., Psithyristria paratenuis sp. nov. and Psithyristria paracrassis sp. nov., are described. An unidentified species of Purana Distant is newly added to the cicada fauna of Luzon. Information on geographic distributions is provided. The genus Oncotympana Stål is diagnosed. Revised keys to the species of Oncotympana and Psithyristria Stål are provided.
