Chrysocicada inflata is a species of cicada, also known as the narrow-headed alea, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Pictilini tribe. The species is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2023 by Australian entomologists David L. Emery and Nathan J. Emery.[1][2]
The specific epithet inflata (Latin: “inflated” or “expanded”) is an anatomical reference to the relatively swollen abdomen of the species.[1][3]
