From HandWiki
Songga is a monotypic genus of Asian cicadas in the tribe Dundubiini (subtribe Dundubiina); it was erected by Young June Lee in 2016,[1] who named it from the Korean: 송가 pronounced 'song-ga', meaning 'ode'.
Species
The single species is Songga scitula (Distant, 1888), which William Lucas Distant had originally named Pomponia scitula, was identified from a syntype male specimen from Burma (Myanmar), deposited at the Natural History Museum, London;[2] he named it from the Latin: 'scitula': meaning neat or elegant. This species has been recorded subsequently from India, China and elsewhere in Indochina.[3]
