Tryella adela is a species of cicada, also known as the small maroon bullet, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Lamotialnini tribe. The species is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2003 by Australian entomologist Maxwell Sydney Moulds.[1][2]
The specific epithet adela comes from Greek άδηλος (uncertain, unknown or dubious), with reference to the small size and apparent scarcity of the species.[1][3]
