Thopha is a genus of cicada native to Australia. Five species are recognised, the double drummer (Thopha saccata), the northern double drummer (T. sessiliba), the golden drummer (T. colorata), and .[1][2] Within sessiliba, two subspecies are recognized, the nominotypical form and T. sessiliba clamoris Moulds and Hill.[3]
Genetic and morphological data show that Thopha is closely related to the genus Arunta; together they comprise the tribe Thophini.
