Tryella crassa is a species of cicada, also known as the dusky 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 crassa comes from Latin crassus (thick or fat), with reference to the stocky build of the species.[1][3]
