Description: ASHTON (1914) described three species of cicada from Africa which were soon placed in synonymy with other species. Re-examination of the type material lead to the following revisions: Platypleura nigromarginata Ashton 1914 is removed from synonymy with Oxypleura quadraticollis (Butler 1874) and placed in the genus Strumoseura n. gen.; P. sikumba Ashton 1914 is confirmed as a junior synonym of Manza basimacula (Walker 1850) along with M. parva Villet 1989 n. syn.; and P. longirostris Ashton 1914 is removed from the synonymy of P. divisa Germar 1834.
