Neotibicen bermudianus, also colloquially known as the Bermuda cicada, is an extinct species of annual cicada that was endemic to the island of Bermuda.

Taxonomy

Neotibicen lyricen, the lyric cicada, of the Eastern United States is the most closely related species of Neotibicen behaviorally, morphologically, and genetically to the Bermuda cicada.

Extinction

Populations of this species were historically abundant on Bermuda, but they plummeted sharply in the middle 20th century after the decline of their preferred host, the Bermuda cedar.
