This contribution details the morphology, distribution, and song characteristics of a new grass cicada species within the genus Mugadina Moulds, 2012, previously represented by only two much smaller species. The new species is M. superba sp. n. It occurs widely in central Queensland, occurring in a broad curved zone between the western desert areas and the eastern coast. Details of the morphology and the ticking calling songs presented are given, and detailed comparisons are made of morphology and songs between M. superba sp. n. and M. marshalli (Distant, 1911).
本研究详细描述了一种新的 Mugadina 属（Moulds，2012）草蝉，该属此前仅由两个更小的物种代表。新种为 M. superba sp. n.。它广泛分布于昆士兰中部，在西部沙漠地区和东部海岸之间的宽阔弯曲带中出现。本文提供了形态细节和蝉鸣声特征，并对 M. superba sp. n.与 M. marshalli（Distant，1911）之间的形态和鸣声进行了详细比较。
