Gudanga adamsi is a species of cicada, also known as the northern brigalow blackwing, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Cicadettini tribe. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1996 by Australian entomologist Maxwell Sydney Moulds.[1]
The specific epithet adamsi honours Ernest Adams of ‘Mourangee’ Homestead, who collected much of the type series, for his lifetime contributions to knowledge of Australian entomology.[1]
