Germalna，一个用于新喀里多尼亚蝉的新属，该蝉此前被归入Melampsalta Kolenati属，外加对Rouxalna Boulard属描述的补充，并描述了两个新物种（昆虫纲：半翅目，蝉总科，蝉科）。

Germalna, a new genus for the New Caledonian cicada previously assigned to the genus Melampsalta Kolenati, plus a complement to the description of the genus Rouxalna Boulard, with the description of two new species (Insecta: Hemiptera, Cicadoidea, Cicadidae).

Abstract

Species previously assigned to Melampsalta Kolenati, in New Caledonia are reviewed. Morphological studies indicate that New Caledonian cicadas currently placed in this genus have been wrongly assigned and should be placed in a new genus. The genus Germalna gen. nov., is therefore erected to accommodate Germalna germaini comb. nov. The genus Germalna gen. nov. was first documented by Michel Boulard, but remained a nomen nudum until now. A redescription of the genus Rouxalna Boulard is provided and the following new species are described: Rouxalna villosa sp. nov., and Rouxalna scabens sp. nov. Male calling songs of Rouxalna rouxi Boulard and Rouxalna scabens sp. nov. are analysed and described from field recordings. A key to the species of Rouxalna is also provided.

摘要

对新喀里多尼亚以前归入Melampsalta Kolenati属的物种进行了综述。形态学研究表明，目前置于该属的新喀里多尼亚蝉被错误归类，应归入一个新属。因此，建立了Germalna属，以容纳Germalna germaini新组合。Germalna属最初由米歇尔·布拉德记录，但直到现在仍是一个裸名。提供了对Rouxalna Boulard属的重新描述，并描述了以下新物种：Rouxalna villosa新种和Rouxalna scabens新种。根据野外录音分析并描述了Rouxalna rouxi Boulard和Rouxalna scabens新种的雄性求偶鸣声。还提供了Rouxalna属物种的检索表。
