註釋The identities of all 242 described Australian Cicadoidea species (and their synonyms) have been confirmed, mostly by examination of types, and their generic status reviewed. Male genitalia of all but two Australian species have been examined and those of the type species of each genus are figured. The first key to genera incorporating both males and females is presented along with a brief history of Australian genera. A cladistic analysis incorporating 71 species from the tribe Cicadettini is also presented, the primary purpose of which was to identify generic groupings and their apomorphies. The following 34 genera are described as new: Adelia gen. n., Auscala gen. n., Chelapsalta gen. n., Clinopsalta gen. n., Clinata gen. n., Dipsopsalta gen. n., Erempsalta gen. n., Ewartia gen. n., Galanga gen. n., Gelidea gen. n., Heliopsalta gen. n., Limnopsalta gen. n., Mugadina gen. n., Myopsalta gen. n., Nanopsalta gen. n., Neopunia gen. n., Noongara gen. n., Palapsalta gen. n., Paradina gen. n., Parnquila gen. n., Physeema gen. n., Pictila gen. n., Platypsalta gen. n., Plerapsalta gen. n., Punia gen. n., Pyropsalta gen. n., Simona gen. n., Sylphoides gen. n., Taurella gen. n., Telmapsalta gen. n., Terepsalta gen. n., Toxala gen. n., Uradolichos gen. n., Yoyetta gen. n. Three genera, Cicadetta Kolenati, Notopsalta Dugdale, and Quintilia Stål, are removed from the fauna of Australia. Twelve species names are placed into junior synonymy and 74 new combinations are established. As a consequence of this review all 81 genera currently recognised as occurring in Australia are redefined using a common suite of characters identified as meaningful at generic level. To these have been added a further 35 characters when describing genera in the tribe Cicadettini in order to differentiate a large number of closely allied genera.
