Neotibicen bermudianus, also colloquially known as the Bermuda cicada, is an extinct species of annual cicada that was endemic to the island of Bermuda.[1][2]
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.[3]
Extinction
Populations of this species were historically abundant on Bermuda, but they plummeted sharply in the middle twentieth century after the decline of their preferred host: the Bermuda cedar.[4]
