Tryella lachlani is a species of cicada, also known as the golden black bullet, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Lamotialnini tribe. The species is native to Australia and New Guinea. It was described in 2003 by Australian entomologist Maxwell Sydney Moulds.[1][2]
The specific epithet lachlani honours Robert Lachlan, who collected many rare and valuable cicadas, including early examples of this species.[1][3]
