Tryella rubra is a species, or species complex, of cicadas, also known as large rusty bullets, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Lamotialnini tribe. The species is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1904 by entomologists Frederic Webster Goding and Walter Wilson Froggatt.[1][2]
The specific epithet rubra, from Latin “red”, refers to the cicadas’ colouration.[1][3]
