This unique data set reveals a common regular pattern which appears to be in agreement with island modes featured by theoretical non-perturbative treatments of fast rotation. The comparison of these data with models and linear stability calculations suggests that spectra can be fruitfully characterized to first order by a few parameters which might play the role of seismic indices for {\delta} Scuti stars, as {\Delta \nu} and {\nu_{max}} do for red giants. The existence of this pattern offers an observational support for guiding further theoretical works on fast rotation. It also provides a framework for further investigation of the observational material collected by CoRoT and Kepler. Finally, it sketches out the perspective of using {\delta} Scuti stars pulsations for ensemble asteroseismology.}, organization = {The CoRoT space mission, launched on December 27th 2006, has been developed and is operated by the Centre Na- tional d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), with contributions from Aus- tria, Belgium, Brazil, the European Space Agency (RSSD and Science Programme), Germany and Spain.
