Pseudoparamere of aedeagus straight and affixed to each other, curved downwards. Clasper affixed, curved downwards. Acoustic behavior. Male calling song (Fig. 14) composed of sequences lasting between 5.4 to 9.4 s and separated from each other by an interval of 0.85 to 1.2 s; each sequence is composed by 13 to 23 phrases (C). Phrase duration is around 0.4 s; each phrase is separated by an interval of 0.10 to 0.17 s. Phrases are formed by three parts. The first part, lasting about 0.12 s, is a series of echemes separated by interval of 0.005 to 0.006 s. The second part, lasting around 0.22 s, is a series of echemes repeated at a lower rate, with interval of 0.010 to 0.011 s. The third part is a short isolated echeme separated by an interval of 0.2 s from the second part. The frequency content of the first part is slightly different from that of the second part because of its narrower range. Sound frequencies in the first part range from 14 to 22 kHz; those of the second part range from 10.5 to 22 kHz. Across all parts of the song, the dominant frequency lies between 15.5 and 21 kHz, with a maximum of energy at 16.5 kHz. Males generally sing from within a dense shrub. Description of female. Unknown Derivation of name. Species kindly dedicated to ornithologist Ludovic Renaudet, who gave me the opportunity to discover this species at Monts Dzumac. Distribution. Endemic to south of New Caledonia Main Island (Fig. 31) Habitat and ecology. Strepuntalna renaudetii sp. nov., inhabits shrubbery vegetation of mining scrub formation where Niaouli trees (Melaleuca quinquenervia) are scatted or absent. The two population discovered, at Monts Dzumac and “Pic du Pin”, are localized on ultramafic soil. No information on seasonality and peak period of emergence is recorded.Published as part of Delorme, Quentin, 2017, Description of four new genera and five new species of cicadas from New Caledonia (Insecta: Hemiptera, Cicadoidea, Cicadidae), pp. 97-124 in Zootaxa 4243 (1) on pages 106-109, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4243.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/39871
Rouxalna rouxi Delorme 2018
No full textRouxalna rouxi (Distant, 1914) (Figs. 1 & 15) Diagnosis. Among Rouxalna species, R. rouxi can be distinguished from R. scabens sp. nov., by the larger size (body length> to 17 mm); the long ribs 1 and 2 which are free ventrally (R. scabens has ribs 1 and 2 free fused) and ribs 1 to 3 fused dorsally (R. rouxi has the long rib 1 to 4 fused dorsally). Rouxalna villosa sp. nov., differs by the presence of dense long black hair. Song patterns. The male calling song (Fig. 15) is formed by a regular succession of phrases lasting between 1.5 and 1.7 s; each phrase is composed by 22 to 26 syllables, emitted at a rate of 14 per second; each syllable is composed by 4 echemes. Frequency ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 Hz. The dominant frequency is located between 7,000 and 13,000 Hz and the maXimum of power is located at 10,500 Hz.Published as part of Delorme, Quentin, 2018, Germalna, a new genus for the New Caledonian cicada previously assigned to the genus Melampsalta Kolenati, plus a complement to the description of the genus Rouxalna Boulard, with the description of two new species (Insecta: Hemiptera, Cicadoidea, Cicadidae) in Zootaxa 4377 (1), DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4377.1.5, http://zenodo.org/record/116326

Forewings hyaline; venation reddish except apical cells and a part of ulnar cells, which are blackish; median and cubital anterior vein fused on 1 mm at their bases. Hindwing venation blackish, except cubitus anterior vein which is reddish; vannus hyaline. Legs. Brownish with smalls black ornamentations.

Claspers parallel, curved inwards, apically obtuse and divergent. Song patterns. Male calling song (Fig. 11) composed of two types of sequences. Sequence type 1 is a long succession of echemes emitted at a rate of 28 per second. The second sequence type is shorter than the previous sequence and is composed of 10 to 12 phrases. Phrase duration varies between 0.97 s to 1.31 s; each phrase contains two parts: the first part is a regular succession 18 to 34 of echemes, emitted at a rate of 28 by second; the second part is emitted 0.08 s after the preceding section and contains three echemes. Both sequences cover frequencies from 12 to 22 kHz with the main energy between 17 and 21 kHz and a maximum of energy at 19 kHz. Distribution. North east of “Grande terre”, endemic to Mont Panié (Fig. 12). Derivation of name. From Latin, meaning “almost inaudible”, because of the high frequency of the male calling song. Habitat and ecology. As with M. inaudibilis Delorme sp. nov. and M. paenetacita Delorme sp. nov., calling males were found in dense Niaouli shrub (Melaleuca quinquenervia, Myrtaceae) mixed with dense fern cover (Pteridium sp., Dennstaedtiaceae). Males call while sitting in the branches located at the tops of trees. It does not appear to be gregarious and seems to be strictly diurnal and heliophilous. The station is located where Niaouli trees reach only 2 m. Because of the rarity of this cicada during the prospection and the difficulty to mark individuals, no more observation was accomplished.Published as part of Delorme, Quentin, Mille, Christian & Jourdan, Hervé, 2016, Description of a new genus and two new species of high frequency cicada from New Caledonia (Insecta: Hemiptera, Cicadoidea, Cicadidae), pp. 563-576 in Zootaxa 4126 (4) on pages 570-574, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4126.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/25583
