Huechys is a genus of cicada in the family Cicadidae.

Taxonomy

The genus name is derived from the Chinese words for 'blood cicada'.Amyot CJB, Audinet-Serville, JG (1843) Homoptères. Homoptera Latr. [In] Histoire naturelle des Insectes. Hémiptères. Deuxième partie: 455-483. Librairie Encyclopédique de Roret, Paris, 676 pages.. Although it has been claimed that the Chinese name refers to Huechys, Chinese entomologist Gaines Liu notes that the name Chu ki refers to Lycorma delicatula. He noted that the name for the black and red cicada was Er according to the Fang Yen written by Yang Hsiung (53 B.C. - A.D. 18).{{cite journal |author=Liu, Gaines |year=1939 |title=Some extracts from the history of entomology in China |url=https://downloads.hindawi.com/journals/psyche/1939/074632.pdf |journal=Psyche: A Journal of Entomology |volume=46 |pages=23–28|doi=10.1155/1939/74632 |doi-access=free}}
