Sinosemia
Sinosemia is a monotypic genus of Asian cicadas in the tribe Dundubiini (subtribe Aolina); it was originally erected by Shōnen Matsumura in 1927 but the single species has also been placed in the similar genera Cryptotympana and Haphsa, before the genus was restored in 2025. Matsumura named it after China (Latin: Sina), the Japenese: 蝉 (pronounced 'semi' meaning cicada and the suffix '-a', with the species Sinosemia shirakii.
