GENERAL DISTRIBUTION. This is one of the most abundant and common cicada species throughout the Mediterranean area [Pinto-Juma et al., 2005], distributed from the Iberian Peninsula to western Greece and Turkey [Quartau et al., 1999], in some countries in the Near East [Nast, 1972], also around the Black Sea [Popov, 1975], North Caucasus [Tishechkin, 2003], Transcaucasia, Northwestern Iran and the Western Kopet-Dagh Mtn. Range in Turkmenistan [Kudryashova, 1979]. From east Aegean to the East C. orni seems to be replaced by the sibling species C. mordoganensis Boulard, 1979 [Simões et al., 2000; Gogala, Trilar, 2014].
REMARKS. It occurs in closed high shrubland and woodland on several species of plants (e.g. pine trees, olive trees, oaks, eucalyptus, vineyards) [Patterson et al., 1997; Puissant, Sueur, 2001; Sueur et al., 2004; Pinto-Juma et al., 2005].
