Neotibicen bermudianus, also colloquially known as the Bermuda cicada, is an extinct species of annual cicada that was endemic to the island of Bermuda.[1][2]
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]Neotibicen lyricen, the lyric cicada, of the Eastern United States is the most closely related species of Neotibicen behaviorally, morphologically, and genetically to the Bermuda cicada.[3]
Extinction
[edit | edit source]Populations of this species were historically abundant on Bermuda, but they plummeted sharply in the middle 20th century after the decline of their preferred host, the Bermuda cedar.[4]
