=== Species === Seven recognized species are placed within ''Magicicada''βthree 17-year species and four 13-year species. These seven species are also sometimes grouped differently into three subgroups, the so-called [[Decim periodical cicadas|Decim species group]], [[Cassini periodical cicadas|Cassini species group]], and Decula species group, reflecting strong similarities of each 17-year species with one or more species with a 13-year cycle.<ref name=ngspecies>{{cite web|title=''Magicicada'' species|url=http://www.magicicada.org/about/species_pages/species.php|publisher=National Geographic Society|access-date=12 June 2011|archive-date=February 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170226165547/http://www.magicicada.org/about/species_pages/species.php|url-status=dead}}</ref> {|class="wikitable collapsible" |- ! colspan="4"|17-year cycle ! rowspan="2"|Species<br/>group ! colspan="4"|13-year cycle |- !
