Katoa is a genus of cicadas from Southeast Asia.[1] The type species is Katoa tenmokuensis. Formerly placed in the tribe Tibicinini, after detailed morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis, in 2012 Lee placed the genus among the Cicadettini, also of the subfamily Cicadettinae.[3] After further phylogenetic and analysis and physical examination, in 2018 Marshal, et. al., placed the genus in its own tribe, Katoini, remaining in the subfamily Cicadettinae.[4]
