Huechys

Huechys is a genus of cicadas in the tribe Cicadettini, with species recorded from Asia and the Americas.

Taxonomy

The genus name is derived from the Chinese words for 'blood cicada'. Although it has been claimed that the Chinese name refers to Huechys, Chinese entomologist Gaines Liu notes that the name Chu ki refers to Lycorma delicatula. He noted that the name for the black and red cicada was Er according to the Fang Yen written by Yang Hsiung (53 B.C. - A.D. 18).
