Tibicinoides vanduzeei, also known as Van Duzee's cicada, is a species of cicada in the family Cicadidae.[2][3][4] It is found in western North America from Baja California (Mexico) through the western United States to British Columbia (Canada).[2] This bug was previously known as Okanagana vanduzeei but was transferred out of the genus Okanagana in 2023.[4][5] The name is a reference to E. P. Van Duzee who collected the holotype.[1]

Tibicinoides vanduzeei generally measure less than 20 mm (0.79 in). They are generalists but are primarily associated with grasslands.[4]
