Description : Lemuriana apicalis (Germar,1830) Is one of the Indian species of Cicadas. Cicadas are members of the superfamily Cicadoidea and are physically distinguished by their stout bodies, broad heads, clear-membraned wings, and large compound eyes. Cicadas are famous for their penchant for disappearing entirely for many years, only to reappear in force at a regular interval. Several cultures regarded these insects as powerful symbols of rebirth due to their unusual life cycles. The cicada has the longest life cycle of any insect, ranging from 2 to 17 years. Brood X (Brood 10), one of the periodical cicadas from the United States has the greatest range and concentration of any of the 17-year cicadas. Tehatta, West Bengal, India.
