Froggattisca gemma is a species of cave-dwelling[1] antlion (or Myrmeleontidae), endemic to Queensland and Western Australia.[2]

The species was first described in 1985 by Tim New.[2][3]

Miller and Stange describe this species (and all Froggattisca species) as not being a true cave-dwelling antlion, because not all life stages are confined to caves.[1]
