Biology. This species is widely distributed in low mountains of the Palaearctic Region and Oriental Region. Adults appear from April to August. They often perch on ventral surface of leaves. Singing usually occurs in the full sunshine in the morning, but sometimes occurs at night if sufficient electric light is provided (Lee, 2004). According to Hayashi (1976), cicadas of this species suck juice from stems or mid-ribs of leaves and copulate in end-to-end style on the leaves, and females lay eggs into stems and mid-ribs of leaves, sitting mainly on the underside of leaves.
Variations. The coloration of body is variable, from yellowish brown to dark green, probably due to discoloration.
Distribution. China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Chongqing, Sichuan, Shaanxi), Japan, North Korea.
