Yoyetta ignita is a species of cicada, also known as the fiery 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 ignita (Latin: “ignited”) refers to the strong orange colouration on the cicadas’ abdomens.[1]
