Purapurana is a genus of Asian cicadas in the tribe Leptopsaltriini (subtribe Puranina), erected by Young June Lee in 2024.[1] This formed part of his review of the genus Purana and the prefix was simply the Latin adjective pura meaning pure. Species have been recorded from China, Indochina and Malesia.[2]
