We determine the thermal responses for 22 species from 16 genera, nine tribes and two subfamilies of Australian cicadas. Thermal responses are related to habitat and possibly to behavior. The thermal responses of the Australian species show convergent patterns to the cicadas in similar environments in Africa, Europe, North America, and South America. The study illustrates that similar evolutionary pressures select for similar thermal adaptation regardless of geographic locality or species phylogeny.
