Excerpt from North American Cicadas The original description of C. Grossa by Fabricius in 1775 is very general and would do for many of the large cicadas. He says, how ever, that the tarsi are black. In our insect they are olive green. He also gives the habitat as Brazil, but as Uhler says, this. May be an error.

Excerpt from The Periodical Cicada, Brood XIV The earliest known publication mentioning the species appeared in 1666, and several accounts were published before 1750. One (g) refers to an appearance at Plymouth, Mass in 1634. The early writers noted the unusual visitations of large numbers of the insects, their emergence holes, the noise made by them, and the damage done to the trees in oviposition. Writers from 1750 to 1775 knew of the periodic appearance and inferred the length of the period to be about 17 years. Later writers were more certain about the period. Linnaeus (g) described the Species in 1758 from Specimens from America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
