Yoyetta spectabilis is a species of cicada, also known as the wavering firetail, in the true cicada family, Cicadettinae subfamily and Cicadettini tribe. The species is endemic to Australia. It was described in 2019 by Australian entomologists David L. Emery, Nathan J. Emery and Lindsay Popple.[1][2]
The specific epithet spectabilis refers to the impressive markings and colouration, ranging from orange-red to enamel black, of the species.[1]
