ABSTRACT. No cicada records for the Greek Ionian island of Kefalonia existed so far. The fauna of singing cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) of Kefalonia island (Cephalonia) has been investigated on the field excursions in 2010, 2016 and 2018 with classic and bioacoustic methods, using recording equipment for sonic range and ultrasonic detectors. We discovered 5 species: Lyristes plebejus (Scopoli, 1763), Cicada orni Linnaeus, 1758, Cicadatra atra (Olivier, 1790), Dimissalna dimissa (Hagen, 1856), and Tettigettula pygmea (Olivier, 1790).
KEY WORDS: Hemiptera, Cicadidae, singing cicadas, fauna, bioacoustics, Kefalonia Island, Greece.
