Punia limpida is a species of cicada, also known as the green 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 limpida is derived from limpidus (Latin: 'transparent' or 'clear') with reference to the translucent abdominal tergites of the male cicadas.[1]
