Yoyetta psammitica is a species of cicada, also known as the sandstone 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][2]
The specific epithet psammitica is derived from Greek psammítēs (“sandstone”), referring to the species’ habitat.[1]
