Yoyetta darug is a species of cicada, also known as the Sydney ticking ambertail, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Cicadettini tribe. The species is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2025 by Australian entomologists David L. Emery, Nathan J. Emery and Lindsay Popple.[1]
The specific epithet darug refers to the language of the Aboriginal Dharug people, who traditionally inhabited the Sydney Basin bioregion where the species is found.[1]
