Cicada barbara I think that is the only present species of the genus in south Spain. In the north we have C. orni. The black spots of the wings and the size, makes the genus unmistakable.

Clear wings and marked wings: different species.

maybe this helps you
http://www.cicada...

the first looks more like Cicada orni than C.barbara (from what i know barbara have very pale "spots").

three romanian species can be seen here:
