Proretinata is a monotypic genus of Asian cicadas belonging to the tribe Polyneurini (subtribe Polyneurina); it was erected by Chou and Yao in 1986,[2] with the name derived from Greek: πρό (before) and retina (Latin for net, strap or rope), referring to the grey-white transverse stripe on the forewing.[1]

Species, distribution and nomenclature

The single species Proretinata floridula (Distant, 1904) was long placed in the genus Angamiana (erected by Distant), but moved in 2024[3] after synonymy was established with the type Proretinata fuscula Chou & Yao, 1986. The distribution records for this species include southern China and Indochina.[1]
