Cicadidae, the true cicadas, is the largest family of cicadas, with more than 3,200 species worldwide. The oldest known definitive fossils are from the Paleocene, a nymph from the Cretaceous Burmese amber has been attributed to the family, but could also belong to the Tettigarctidae.
The Cicadinae are a subfamily of cicadas, containing the translucent cicadas. They are robust cicadas and many have gaudy colors, but they generally lack the butterfly-like opaque wing markings found in many species of the related Tibiceninae.
Gaeanini is a tribe of cicadas in the family Cicadidae, found in the Palearctic and Indomalaya. There are about 10 genera and at least 50 described species in Gaeanini.
Tanna is a genus of cicadas from Southeast Asia and East Asia. In 2010 Lee and Hill placed Tanna in the subtribe Leptopsaltriina, which is now in the tribe Leptopsaltriini together with a number of related genera that also possess abdominal tubercles, including Leptopsaltria, Maua, Nabalua, Purana, and others.
Gaeana is a genus of cicadas, most members of which have colourful marking on their forewings, found across tropical and temperate Asia. Their bright wing patterns have been hypothesized as being a case of Batesian mimicry where the toxic models may be day-flying moths of the subfamilies Zygaeninae and Arctiinae. It is closely related to the genus Tosena but is differentiated by the exposed tympanum and lacks spines on the sides of the pronotum.
Euterpnosia is a genus of cicada native to the island of Formosa, the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan, Hainan and mainland Asia - China, Bhutan, Nepal and Vietnam. The type species is Euterpnosia chibensisMatsumura, 1917. Until 2013 this genus was placed in the subtribe Leptopsaltriina, but is now considered typical of the Euterpnosiina Lee, 2013.
Formotosena seebohmi is a cicada species from Taiwan,China, Vietnam and Japan.
Tibicen is a historical genus name in the insect family Cicadidae that was originally published by P. A. Latreille in 1825 and formally made available in a translation by A. A. Berthold in 1827. The name was placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature in 2021. Certain European cicada species that were included by some authors in this genus at the time of its suppression are now listed under genus Lyristes Horváth, 1926. Other formerly-Tibicen species are placed in the tribe Cryptotympanini and include the genera Auritibicen Lee, 2015, Hadoa Moulds, 2015 Megatibicen Sanborn and Heath, 2016, and Neotibicen Hill and Moulds, 2015.
Tettigarcta is a genus of cicadas in the family Tettigarctidae. There are two described species in Tettigarcta, one found in mainland Australia and one on the island of Tasmania. These two species are the only living species of the family Tettigarctidae, the rest being extinct. They are around 3.5 to 4.5 centimetres in length. The species are active at night and are attracted to light, and rest under loose bark during the day. Unlike other cicadas, they do not make loud calls, but produce low intensity sounds transmitted through the substrate they are attached to, similar to other members of Auchenorrhyncha.
Diceroprocta is a genus of scrub cicadas in the family Cicadidae. There are at least 60 described species in Diceroprocta.
Hea is a genus of cicadas in the family Cicadidae. There are at least three described species in Hea.
Karenia is a genus of cicadas in the family Cicadidae, found in Asia and Indomalaya. There are about six described species in Karenia.
Vagitanus is a genus of cicadas in the family Cicadidae. There are about seven described species in Vagitanus.
Leptopsaltriini is a tribe of cicadas in the family Cicadidae. There are at least 200 described species in Leptopsaltriini, found in the Palearctic, Nearctic, and Indomalaya.
Dundubia is a genus of cicadas in the subfamily Cicadinae and the type genus of the tribe Dundubiini.
Sulphogaeana is a genus of cicadas found in Asia from the Himalayas east to Laos. They were earlier included in the genus Gaeana.
Ambragaeana is a genus of Asian cicadas in the tribe Gaeanini. This genus was previously placed in Gaeana and species in this tribe are often called "butterfly cicadas" because of the colours and patterns of their wings.
Callogaeana festiva, synonym Gaeana festiva, is a species of cicada in the tribe Gaeanini. It is found in East Asia from India and Bhutan to Indonesia.
Becquartina is a genus of Asian cicadas in the tribe Gaeanini and the monotypic subtribe Becquartinina. This genus includes species that were previously placed in Gaeana and are sometimes known as "butterfly cicadas" due to their colourful wings.
