Dear 1588-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting question.

I think what you are looking for is the cicada relative called a
"chicharra" (Tettigades chilensis).

And my goodness what a ghastly looking creature it is too!

Notice the name of the link? Yeah . . .you read it right, "Kitchen".
These insects were once a plentiful source of food for locals.

Here are some other photos (there appear to be several species):
