Taxonomic Swap 145810 (Committed on 08-12-2024)

World Auchenorrhyncha Database (as of Aug. 2024) adopts the name Tosena melanopteryx Kirkaldy, 1909 for what was "Cicada (Tosena) melanoptera White, 1846". This is a primary homonym of Cicada melanoptera Gmelin, 1789). The paper by Kirkaldy, 1909 gives a replacement name as "113. Tosensa albata Distant var. melanopteryx, nom. nov. = melanoptera White".

White, 1846
