Pauropsalta conflua is a species of cicada, also known as the small mallee squawker, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Cicadettini tribe. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2016 by entomologists Christopher Owen and Maxwell Sydney Moulds.[1]
The specific epithet conflua (Latin: ‘flowing together’ or ‘uniting’) is an anatomical reference to the fusion of forewing vein stems.[1]
Description
The length of the forewing is 14–22 mm.[3]
