Punia kolos is a species of cicada, also known as the small grass pygmy, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Cicadettini tribe. The species is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2020 by Australian entomologist Maxwell Sydney Moulds.[1][2]
The specific epithet kolos (Greek: 'shortened' or 'curtailed') refers to the reduced uncus and claspers in the genitalia of male cicadas.[1]
