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 20th century after the decline of their preferred host, the Bermuda cedar.[4]
