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. [1] Members of Magnentiini are superficially similar to members of Punctulini and Vartini. [2]
There are currently two genera in Magnentiini: [1]
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.
Macrostelini is a tribe in the Deltocephalinae subfamily of leafhoppers. Macrostelini contains 37 genera and over 300 species. The tribe has a cosmopolitan distribution. Some species in the genus Cicadulina are agricultural pests and transmit maize streak virus in Sub-saharan Africa.
Athysanini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. The type genus of the tribe is Athysanus. The tribe has a cosmopolitan distribution. It is the largest tribe in the subfamily Deltocephalinae and has 228 genera and at least 1120 species.
Hecalini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae. There are about 24 genera and over 180 described species divided into two subtribes in Hecalini.
Phlepsiini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. There are 4 genera and over 80 described species in Phlepsiini.
Acinopterini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Acinopterini is made up of 2 genera over 35 species. Acinopterus is widely distributed throughout North and South America with more than 30 species; Cariancha and its two species are endemic to Brazil.
Acostemmini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Acostemmini contains 12 genera and around 30 species. The tribe is found throughout tropical Africa, the Indian subcontinent and New Guinea. The highest diversity is found in Madagascar including an endemic genus, Ikelibeloha.
Bahitini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Bahitini contains 25 genera and over 165 species.
Bonaspeiini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Bonaspeiini is made up of 26 genera and over 125 species found throughout southern Africa. Many species are found in the fynbos biome.
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.
Cochlorhinini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. The tribe is endemic to the western United States and adjacent parts of Mexico, however at least one species has been introduced to Chile. Cochlorhinini contains 11 genera and over 140 species.
Dorycephalus is a genus of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. It is the only genus in the tribe Dorycephalini. There are currently only two described species in the genus. The members of the genus are found in eastern Europe, Russia and Mongolia.
Faltalini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Faltalini is distributed from the southwestern United States south to Argentina and Chile. It contains 11 genera and over 25 species.
Goniagnathini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Goniagnathini contains 4 genera and around 60 species. Of these, one new species, Goniagnathuscornutus was recently verified in China.
Penthimiini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Penthimiini contains 46 genera and over 200 species.
Selenocephalini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Deltocephalinae contains 21 genera and around 200 species divided into four subtribes: Adamina, Dwightlina, Ianeirina and Selenocephalina.
Stenometopiini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. It contains 8 genera and around 100 species. The members of Stenometopiini are widespread and have a cosmopolitan distribution.
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.
Punctulini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Punctulini currently contains 3 genera and 5 species. It is most closely related to Vartini and Magnentiini within Deltocephalinae.
