The discovery of a second population of the genus Cicadulina has prompted a reexamination of the status of the members of this genus in Australia. The species designation C. bimaculata (Evans, 1940) is resurrected for the Queensland population and the Northern Territory population is considered to be C. bipunctella (Matsumura, 1908). The synonymies, C. bipunctella C. bimaculata and C. bipunctella = Limotettix capitata Kirkaldy, 1907 are rejected. Evidence based on morphological studies and interpreeding trials is presented to support these redesignations. The possible origins and vector status of the two species recognised are discussed.
