Yoyetta robertsonae is a species of cicada, also known as the clicking ambertail, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Cicadettini tribe. The species is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2020 by Australian entomologists Maxwell Sydney Moulds, Lindsay Popple and David L. Emery.[1][2]
The specific epithet robertsonae honours Susan Robertson, who collected some of the original specimens of the species, for her contributions to understanding the cicadas of the Australian Capital Territory.[1]
