Macrotristria sylvara is an Australian species of cicada in the family Cicadidae, [1] commonly known as the northern cherrynose or green cherrynose. [2]
Adults have green markings on the face, thorax and forewing costal vein, with yellow and brown on the thorax and abdomen. The forewing length is 48–62 mm. [3]
The species is distributed from the Torres Strait down the Queensland coast to about Ingham. Its habitat includes coastal bushland, open forest and parks. [3]
Adults appear from December until March, clinging to the upper branches of eucalypts and other trees, uttering strong and continuous, rattling calls, with intervals of pulsing and revving. [3]
