*,**,*** mark broods that will emerge in the same year (of these, only Brood XIX of 13-year cicadas has any opportunity of appearing nearby or possibly overlapping with 17-year cicadas--with Brood IV in 1998 and with Brood XIII in 2024; overlapping years of emergence will not occur again with the same broods for an interval of 221 years, 13 X 17 years, or seventeen 13-year generations and thirteen 17-year generations).
