Tettigarcta Crinita
''Tettigarcta'' is a genus of cicadas in the family Tettigarctidae. There are two described species in ''Tettigarcta'', one found in mainland Australia and one on the island of Tasmania. These two species are the only living species of the family Tettigarctidae, the rest being extinct. They are around 3.5 to 4.5 centimetres in length. The species are active at night and are attracted to light, and rest under loose bark during the day. Unlike other cicadas, they do not make loud calls, but produce low intensity sounds transmitted through the substrate they are attached to, similar to other members of Auchenorrhyncha.

Tettigarctidae
The Tettigarctidae, known as the hairy cicadas, are a small relict (mostly extinct) family of primitive cicadas. Along with more than 20 extinct genera, Tettigarctidae contains a single extant genus, ''Tettigarcta'', with two extant species, one from southern Australia ('' T. crinita'') and one from the island of Tasmania ('' T. tomentosa''). Numerous fossil species have been described from the Late Triassic onwards. ''Tettigarcta'' are the closest living relatives of the true cicadas. General Only one genus in the family Tettigarctidae is not extinct, ''Tettigarcta''. Dates given in million years ago (Ma).

Auchenorrhyncha
The Auchenorrhyncha suborder of the Hemiptera contains most of the familiar members of what was called the "Homoptera" – groups such as cicadas, leafhoppers, treehoppers, planthoppers, and spittlebugs. The aphids and scale insects are the other well-known "Homoptera", and they are in the suborder Sternorrhyncha. Distributed worldwide, all members of this group are plant-feeders, and many are vectors of viral and fungal diseases of plants. It is also common for Auchenorrhyncha species to produce either audible sounds or substrate vibrations as a form of communication. Such calls range from vibrations inaudible to humans, to the calls of many species of cicadas that can be heard for hundreds of metres, at least. In season, they produce the most characteristic and ubiquitous noise of the bush. Etymology The word auchenorrhyncha is from the Greek αὐχήν, 'neck, throat' and ῥύγχος, 'snout'.
