, Résumé Révision du genre Kanakia Distant, 1892 (Insecta

, Cependant, la taxonomie de ce genre n'apparaît pas résolue. Aussi, de récentes collectes de spécimens ont permis de clarifier la taxonomie de ce genre. À partir de l'examen de caractères morphologiques, nous avons pu redéfinir ce genre et établir trois genres distincts : Kanakia Distant, 1892, Pseudokanakia Delorme gen. nov. et Panialna Delorme gen. nov. Pour les deux nouveaux genres, ils sont respectivement établis à partir de la révision de Kanakia flavoannulata et Kanakia parva. Par ailleurs, le genre Kanakia Distant, 1892 est composé d'un complexe d'espèces cryptiques, autrefois confondues sous l'unique espèce Kanakia typica Distant, 1892. Des observations morphologiques et acoustiques nous ont permis de redéfinir et de compléter la description de K. typica et de décrire quatre nouvelles espèces endémiques au sein de ce complexe : Kanakia paniensis Delorme n. sp., Kanakia rana Delorme n. sp., Kanakia salesnii Delorme n. sp., et Kanakia fuscocosta Delorme n. sp. L'espèce Kanakia gigas Boulard 1988 est discutée brièvement et la femelle est décrite, Parmi les cigales néo-calédoniennes, le genre endémique Kanakia Distant, 1892 est le plus spectaculaire, compte tenu de la grande taille de ses individus (jusqu'à 50 mm pour les mâles)

C. Owen and M. Moulds, Boulard (1988a; 1991; 1998) and (Moulds 1988) discussed this nomenclatural problem at length and concluded that the authorship and date of publication originates from Amyot (1847). However, subsequently the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature suppressed Amyot's 1847 work (Opinion 2165) making the names in it unavailable for nomenclatorial purposes. The name Melampsalta now dates from Kolenati, 1857 (Moulds, 2012), Systematics and phylogeny of the Australian cicada genus Pauropsalta Goding and Froggatt, 1904 and allied genera (Hemiptera: Cicadidae: Cicadettini). Record of the Australian Museum, vol.68, pp.117-200, 1963.

, However, these two species turned out to belong to different genera from each other and from Melampsalta musiva (Germar, 1830), the type species of the genus Melampsalta. Boulard (1999) created and briefly described the genus Rouxalna to accommodate Melampsalta rouxi. Boulard (2006) also mentioned the new genus Germalna to accommodate Melampsalta germaini, but this genus was not described and remained until now nomen nudum, 1914) placed in this genus two species he described from New Caledonia, Melampsalta. germaini Distant, 1906 and Melampsalta rouxi Distant, 1906.
