Yoyetta humphreyae, commonly known as the varied ambertail, is a cicada species endemic to Australia. It belongs to the true cicadas in the family Cicadidae. Described in 2018 by Australian entomologists Maxwell Sydney Moulds and Lindsay Popple, this species has a forewing length of about 20–30 mm. It lives in open forest with a shrubby understorey in New South Wales, from southern Sydney west to the Blue Mountains and north to Port Macquarie, with an isolated population west of Coonabarabran in the Warrumbungles. Adult males are heard from October to January, perched on tree branches and emitting ticking and buzzing calls.
