Hylicinae is a subfamily in the family Cicadellidae (leafhoppers).
Hylicine leafhoppers are moderately robust insects and are brownish to greyish in colouration. They feed on Dicotyledon trees and shrubs. [1]
This subfamily is mostly confined to the Afrotropical and Indomalayan regions.
There are three tribes in the subfamily.
Erected by Distant in 1908.
Erected by Metcalf in 1962. It is monotypic.
Erected by Schmidt, E. in 1962.
Deltocephalinae is a subfamily of leafhoppers. Deltocephalinae is the largest subfamily in the family Cicadellidae and is divided into 40 tribes, comprising over 925 genera, and over 6,700 described species.
Opsiini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. The tribe contains 36 genera and over 300 species divided into four subtribes: Achaeticina, Circuliferina, Eremophlepsiina, and Opsiina.
Flatidae are a family of fulgoroid planthoppers. They are cosmopolitan in distribution and are distinguished from others in the superfamily by a combination of characters. Like all other planthoppers, they suck phloem sap of plants. Some species are known to communicate with vibrations through the plant stems. Communication may be with mates, or with ants that tend the nymphs, protecting them and gathering honeydew secretions. Adults of some species have brightly coloured forewings which are tougher and known as tegmina unlike the membranous hindwings which are used for flight. Although a few can be identified by their coloration, most species requires dissection and examination under a microscope with access to literature on already described species.
Onega is a genus of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae.
Ujna is a genus of leafhoppers belonging to the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Mileewinae. They are known from India, Madagascar and Seychelles.
Ledrinae is a relatively small subfamily within the very large and diverse leafhopper family Cicadellidae. Originally placed in its own family, the "Ledridae", it is based on the type genus Ledra.
Scaphytopiini is an insect tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. The scope of the tribe was restricted by Zahniser & Dietrich (2013) to include only 3 genera.
Coelidiinae is a subfamily of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae. There are at least 8 tribes, 108 genera, and over 900 species in Coelidiinae.
Ledra is the type genus of leafhoppers in the subfamily Ledrinae and the tribe Ledrini. Ledra aurita can be found in Europe but most species occur in Asia.
Evacanthinae is a subfamily in the family Cicadellidae (leafhoppers).
Mileewinae is a small subfamily in the family Cicadellidae (leafhoppers). It is closely related to Typhlocybinae and contains species that were previously part of Cicadellinae.
Mukariini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae.
Chiasmini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Chiasmini contains 21 genera and over 300 species. Some species of Chiasmini in the genus Nephotettix are agricultural pests and transmit rice Tungrovirus in southeast Asia.
Drabescini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. There are currently 38 genera and almost 200 species in Drabescini divided into two subtribes: Drabescina and Paraboloponina.
Paralimnini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Paralimnini contains 139 genera and over 900 species divided into two subtribes: Aglenina and Paralimnina. The tribe has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Penthimiini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Penthimiini contains 46 genera and over 200 species.
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.
Stegelytrini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. There are 30 genera and over 80 species in Stegelytrini. Some authors consider Stegelytrini to be its own subfamily, but Zahniser & Dietrich (2013) consider it to be the earliest divergent lineage of Deltocephalinae.
The Mictini are a tribe of leaf-footed bugs, in the subfamily Coreinae erected by Amyot & Serville in 1843. Genera are distributed from Africa to South-East Asia.
Gessius is a genus of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae. There are 10 described species in Gessius.
