TABLE 1 in Comments and corrections to recent taxonomic changes in cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) including revised species status, a new subspecies, a new combination, and new tribal assignments of genera

TABLE 1. Body measurements of the various forms of Megatibicen pronotalis identified by Kratzer (2024). The Dakota form is the previously identified M. pronotalis pronotalis rev. stat., Common form is the previous central and eastern populations of M. pronotalis walkeri rev. stat., and the Western form is the previous southwestern population of M. pronotalis walkeri rev. stat. (= M. pronotalis hesperius n. ssp.). Combining the Common and Western forms represents the previous complete population of M. pronotalis walkeri rev. stat. A t -test was performed between the Dakota form and Common + Western form groups representing the previously identified subspecies. An ANOVA was performed to compare Dakota, Common and Western forms.
