This study was conducted in order to describe and measure the morphological characters of adults and larval stages of the cicada Cicadatra persica distributed in Erneh, Syria. Eggs, newly hatched nymphs, fully developed nymphs, exuviae and adults were described and measured. The mean lengths of eggs (1.9±0.1 mm) were the same as newly hatched nymphs (1.8±0.174 mm), whereas the mean length of the fully developed nymphs (3.1±0.185 cm) was longer than the adults. Several parts of adults’ body (males and females) were measured. The results show that the mean of females bodies (2.60±0.118 cm) were larger than males ones (2.45±0.192 cm), nevertheless, there were no significant differences between them.
