Kobonga Distant, 1906
Type species: Cicada umbrimargo Walker, 1858
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 1563
(after Moulds 2012): Small to medium-sized cicadas. The paranota have a mid-lateral tooth, the fore wing ambient vein is continuously infuscated along much of its length in all described species except apicata, and the fore wing apical cells are much shorter than the ulnar cells in all species except apicans, apicata and froggatti. The male genitalia have claspers that are essentially flat and wide in lateral view with an out-turned rim along upper margin to apex; the basal lobes are unique in having a subapical outward bump (not always clearly developed), and the aedeagus has a typically 'trifid' theca exposing a fleshy endotheca.
