Bobilla is a genus of cricket in tribe Nemobiini, found in Australasia and the Pacific islands. These small black crickets sing using their wings and stridulatory files. Two species native to New Zealand (Bobilla nigrova and B. bigelowi) are sympatric but can be differentiated by their song and the colour of their eggs.
