Yoyetta delicata is a species of cicada, also known as the delicate ambertail, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Cicadettini tribe. The species is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2022 by Australian entomologists Lindsay Popple and David L. Emery.[1][2]
The specific epithet delicata (Latin: “delicate”) refers to the slender appearance of the cicadas compared with their congeners.[1]
