Abstract
A new species of cicada, Macrotristria monteithi sp. n., is described from the southern Carnarvon and Expedition Ranges in central Queensland, Australia. It is a large species allied to the common and widespread species M. angularis, but unlike that species it has a comparatively narrow distribution.
