Purana is a genus of cicadas from Southeast Asia. Its distribution includes Java, Sumatra, Borneo, the Philippines, peninsular Malaysia, Thailand, India, Indochina, China, and Japan.[1]
Description
In all species the male possess two pairs of dark ventral abdominal tubercles on third and fourth sternites. The male opercula are rather short and generally do not reach beyond the posterior pair of tubercles. Related genera of the tribe Leptopsaltriini that also possess abdominal tubercles are Maua (in the same subtribe) and Leptopsaltria, Nabalua and Tanna which are in the subtribe Leptopsaltriina.[2]
Species
After various reviews, only the following Purana species are accepted:[3]
- Purana bakeri (Moulton, 1923)
- Purana karimunjawa Duffels & Schouten, 2007
- Purana latifascia Duffels & Schouten, 2007
- Purana metallica Duffels & Schouten, 2007
- Purana mulu Duffels & Schouten, 2007
- Purana tigrina (Walker, 1850) - type species (as Dundubia tigrina Walker: designation as Purana Distant, 1905)
- Purana usnani Duffels & Schouten, 2007
A substantial number of species have been moved to new (2024) genera such as Indopurana, Metapurana, Philipurana and Purapurana; in addition, others are currently (June 2025) placed incertae sedis in the subtribe Puranina Lee, 2013.[4] Amongst the latter, is a species recorded east of the Wallace Line: "Purana celebensis", from Sulawesi.[5]
