The cicadas of the Indian subcontinent, like many other insects in the region, have remained understudied since the early part of the 20th Century, and await modern taxonomic, systematic and phylogenetic treatment. This paper presents an updated systematic catalogue of cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) from India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka, the first in over a century.
This paper treats 281 species, including: India and Bangladesh (189 species), Bhutan (19 species), Myanmar (81 species), Nepal (46 species) and Sri Lanka (22 species). For each species all recognized junior synonyms are included with information on the type material and additional specimens where relevant. The global distributional range and notes on the taxonomy of each species are included where appropriate. Two lists are provided: (1) species known to occur in India and Bangladesh (treated as a geographic unit), Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka; and (2) species previously listed from these countries in error. A bibliography of species descriptions is provided, with the papers containing the original descriptions provided where copyright allows.

We share our planet with an estimated 8.7 million species (
The first illustrated publication dealing with the insect fauna of India was “An epitome of the natural history of the insects of India and the islands in the Indian Seas” by
Donovan’s illustration of Cicada indica Donovan 1800. This stunning species is a junior synonym of Tacua speciosa speciosa (Illiger, 1800) and is not found on the Indian subcontinent, an example of the historical misattribution of species from the “East Indies” with India.

By far the most influential figure in the history of cicadas in India is William Lucas Distant (12 November 1845 – 4 February 1922). Distant worked at the Natural History Museum, then the British Museum (Natural History) from 1889 to 1920, during which time he described a tremendous number of insect species. Over 100 cicada species which occur on the Indian subcontinent and were described by Distant are currently recognised as valid. His most significant works relevant to this fauna were: “A Monograph of Oriental Cicadidae” (
Apart from a few isolated species descriptions, the cicada fauna of the Indian subcontinent has not been subjected to a detailed taxonomic and systematic review since
This study serves as a modern reference point for the cicada fauna of India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka, and hopefully, provides a backbone to recording efforts and studies of the underlying taxonomy. Pakistan, formerly a part of “British India” has been excluded from full review in this catalogue as it has recently been updated by
The checklists presented here are full of compromises but our guiding intention has been to present all the relevant information in a manner that is as compact and informative as possible. No doubt there are errors which have crept in, or which have not been discovered in the previous literature, and we welcome all suggestions to rectify any errors or omissions. To aide future studies the next incarnation will be digital, and the list of species is already in the process of migrating to a website, where updates will be maintained as and when changes occur. The website will also allow the community to share images and information on each species, providing an up-to-date resource, hopefully for many years to come.
Historically the regions making up the Indian subcontinent have had a complex nomenclature (Figs
Map of the Indian subcontinent, including countries as politically delineated at present that were at one time considered part of “British India” and countries surrounding “British India” with which the fauna of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan and to a lesser extent Sri Lanka likely overlaps.
The checklist was based on the “The fauna of British India, including Ceylon and Burma” (

India is rapidly developing and expanding its scientific infrastructure and personnel, and investing heavily in scientific research. There is also growing interest in biodiversity studies and conservation among professional biologists and citizen scientists, which will help in exploration and mapping of the current state of Indian biodiversity. As a result, we expect rapid scientific developments involving cicadas of India. To facilitate this development, we have launched a website on Indian cicadas (http://www.indiancicadas.org/), which will act as a central repository of reference images representing spot records, and various species attributes such as cicada songs and other phenotypic variation. Acoustic recordings of Indian cicadas may also be found at: http://bio.acousti.ca/). Following the publication of this paper, we aim to provide newly generated taxonomic and biological information on Indian cicadas through the Cicadas of India website, where updated information may be readily accessed in a centralised database.
The authors would like to express their sincere gratitude to Mick Webb for hosting BWP and ELA on their first visit to the NHM; Valerie Lemaître for searching the NHM collections for Indian specimens to examine; and Young June Lee for checking some records and providing literature. Dr. Sudhir Singh kindly provided images of type material in the Forest Research Institute, Dehradun. The librarians of Rhodes University, the University of Connecticut and the Natural History Museum are thanked for processing multiple inter-library loan requests for older literature which facilitated this research. Anuradha Joglekar kindly provided figure 3. BWP and ELA were supported by the NSF Family Cicadidae grant to CS (DEB-0955849). KK was supported by a Ramanujan Fellowship from the Dept of Science and Technology, Govt of India. VS, KM and KK were supported by a research grant through the USAID PEER Science Program to KK (grant no. AID-OAA-A-11-00012).
BWP: Conceived the project, compiled data, inspected type materials, verified records, and wrote the manuscript. ELA: Compiled data, inspected type materials, verified records, and assisted in manuscript writing. KM: Compiled data, and verified records. VS: Compiled data, and verified records. CS: Supervised and coordinated research, assisted in manuscript writing. KK: Supervised and coordinated research, verified records, assisted in manuscript writing.
