	abstract = {The first faunal analysis of the cicadas of Pakistan is provided. Field work and museum study has added significantly to
the known cicada fauna of Pakistan. Literature records provide evidence for 18 species inhabiting what is currently
Pakistan. The first records of Platypleura basialba (Walker), Platypleura mackinnoni Distant, Cicadatra persica
Kirkaldy, Cicadatra xantes (Walker), Meimuna velitaris (Distant), Haphsa nicomache (Walker), and Paharia putoni
(Distant) are provided. Psalmocharias balochii sp. n., Psalmocharias chitralensis sp. n., Psalmocharias gizarensis sp.
n. and Psalmocharias japokensis sp. n. are described as new. These are the first records of members of the genera
Meimuna Distant and Haphsa Distant in Pakistan. The new records and new species represent a 61\% increase in faunal
diversity. The cicada fauna of Pakistan now comprises of a total of 29 species from 13 genera, five tribes and three
subfamilies. These data provide a more accurate understanding of cicada diversity at the junction of the Oriental and
Palaearctic regions.},

	abstract = {Historical biogeography studies have at their disposal a small suite of vicariance models to explain genetic differentiation within and between species. One of these processes involves the role of river catchments and their associated watersheds, in driving diversification and is applicable to both aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Although the idea of catchments structuring the genetic history of aquatic organisms is reasonably well understood, their effect on terrestrial organisms has largely been overlooked, with relevant studies being limited in scope. South Africa presents a perfect test-bed for elucidating this mechanism of diversification due to its rich biodiversity, range of climatic environments and many large river catchments. Here we use the cicadas of the Platypleura plumosa complex to highlight the importance of catchments and their associated watersheds in driving diversification of terrestrial invertebrates that lack an aquatic life-stage. Population structure was found to correspond to primary and in some cases secondary catchments; highlighting the need to include information on catchment structure when formulating hypotheses of population diversification. Recognizing that climate change in the near future is likely to alter the environment, and particularly precipitation patterns, insight into recent patterns of population change related to catchments may be useful in a conservation context.},
