Gaena, Geaena (misspelling) Gaeana (from Sanskrit: गायन, romanized: gāyana, lit.
'singer'[1]) is a genus of cicadas, most members of which have colourful marking on their forewings, found across tropical and temperate Asia.
Their bright wing patterns have been hypothesized as being a case of Batesian mimicry where the toxic models may be day-flying moths of the subfamilies Zygaeninae and Arctiinae.
[2][3] It is closely related to the genus Tosena but is differentiated by the exposed tympanum and lacks spines on the sides of the pronotum.
