New Yoyetta species described!

A quick update to inform you that a new scientific paper was published today titled, 'A revision of the Yoyetta abdominalis (Distant) species group of cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae: Cicadettinae), introducing eight new species'.

All new Yoyetta species have now been added into the iNaturalist database. So if you have previously recorded one of these, such as the Red Ringer, Brown Firetail or Wavering Firetail, you can update your observations! If not, then it's great motivation to try and find one this season!!

You can access and read the paper here: https://doi.org/10.3853/j.2201-4349.71.2019.1720
