Abstract

The Oriental cicadas of the genus Karenia are reviewed and a key to the species is presented. One new species, K. chama Wei & Zhang, sp. nov., trapped by hand clapping and bamboo‐stick clicking, is described and illustrated. Information on its biology, as well as a few notes on its special sound‐production mechanism, is provided in some detail. The sound communication and mimicry of attracting cicadas, the associated cicada fungus, Elaphocordyceps sp., and the distribution of Karenia species are discussed.
