Magnentiini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. There are currently 2 genera and 4 species in the tribe. It was formerly placed in the subfamily Nioniinae, but was moved to Deltocephalinae based on anatomical similarities. Members of Magnentiini are superficially similar to members of Punctulini and Vartini.

Vartini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. It currently contains 7 genera and over 20 species. Phylogenetic studies have shown that Vartini is closely related to Punctulini.
Tetartostylus is a genus of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. It is the only genus is the monotypic tribe Tetartostylini. Tetartostylini also used to include the genus Hiltus, but Hiltus is now placed in the tribe Paralimnini.
