Tryella castanea is a species of cicada, also known as the small rusty bullet, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Lamotialnini tribe. The species is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1905 by English entomologist William Lucas Distant.[1][2]
The specific epithet castanea, from Latin “chestnut”, refers to the species’ colouration.[1][3]
