In this study, Cicadatra hyalina (Fabricius, 1798), known to be economically important due to species damages to agricultural and cropland areas especially in the nymph phase, was researched in regard to morphology, bioacoustics, variation and some ecological characteristics. Some variations such as coloration and important morphological characteristics of species were given. Calling song consist of continuous signal and echeme song. Continuous signal variable, lasting 1.3-9 minutes or longer, after some minutes continuous signal change into a short echeme song, which is regulary repeated and lasts 1710 ms on average. The gap duration between echemes is 450 ms. In addition to previous records, C. hyalina was collected from new localities such as Bayburt, Burdur, Çorum, and Malatya. The study is supported with illustrations.
