Biology:Biura
From HandWiki
Biura is a monotypic genus of Asian cicadas in the tribe Dundubiini (subtribe Aolina); it was erected by Young June Lee and Allen Sanborn in 2015;[1] Lee named the genus from a Korean word biura, meaning 'to empty': it is a Korean imperative "to clear the mind before starting an important project".[2]
Species
The single species is Biura bicolora (Sanborn, 2009), which has been recorded from Vietnam only.[2] Sanborn had originally placed the holotype specimen (a male that had been collected near Pleiku in 1967) in the similar and closely related genus Haphsa.[3] The species name, meaning two colours, refers to the contrasting colours of the head, thorax and abdomen.
