Meimuna kurowae is a species of cicada in the family Cicadidae found in Japan.
This cicada is allied to Meimuna ogasawarensis, from which it differs slightly in appearance. M. kurowae has a smaller, less prominent face with a black stripe in the middle, and more distinctly narrow opercula.[2] Its tibia is tinted brown at the apex, its tegmina is narrower, and its genital plate is dark-colored.[2] Excluding the tegmina, the males are approximately 29 mm long, while the females are 32–35 mm long.[2]
