Graminitigrina is a genus of cicadas, also known as grass-clickers, in the family Cicadidae, subfamily Cicadettinae and tribe Cicadettini. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2008 by entomologists Anthony Ewart and Diana Marques.[1][2]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The genus name Graminitigrina is a combination derived from Latin gramen (‘grass’), for the cicadas’ grassy habitat, and tigrina (‘tiger-like’) for their conspicuous yellowish-orange and black colouration.[1]
