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. [1] 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. [1] [2]
