Albanycada bellinganorum, cicada from South Africa
A cicada from the Albany Thicket Biome of South Africa, separated from Albanycada albigera by dark markings around the hind-wing veins and a pigmented, burnt-orange wing base. Its song centres on about 9.0 kHz with a pulse rate of about 160 Hz, and the two species are estimated to have split about 5 million years ago. It is known from only two sites about 190 km apart and may qualify as Critically Endangered.
