Kikihia convicta, also known as the Norfolk Island cicada, is a species of cicada in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Cicadettini tribe. It is endemic to the Australian territory of Norfolk Island in the south-west Pacific Ocean. It was described in 1892 by English entomologist William Lucas Distant.[1][2]
The cicadas are green in colour, but fade to yellow after death. The length of the forewing is 19–22 mm.[3]
