Kobonga apicans is a species of cicada, also known as the northern robust clicker, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Cicadettini tribe. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2001 by entomologists Maxwell Sydney Moulds and K.A. Kopestonsky.[1]
The specific epithet is derived from Latin apricatio (‘basking in the sun’) with reference to the species’ apparent liking for the sun and a hot climate.[1]
Description
The length of the forewing is 29–37 mm.[3]
