Diversity
12–15 tribes (but see text)

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.

Systematics

Exuviae of Tibicen plebejus nymph (Cryptotympanini)

This large subfamily is here divided into tribes. Other schemes exist, which usually have a coarser subdivision. Some, however, merge the Tibiceninae here whole or partly. The unrevised list given below was substantially revised beginning in 2010 due to additional morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis.^[1][2]

The tribes, with some notable genera, are:

Burbungini Cicadatrini (sometimes in Cicadini) Cicadatra Psalmocharias Cicadini Cicada Euterpnosia Illyria Leptosemia Neocicada Terpnosia Cryptotympanini Antankaria Auritibicen Chremistica Cryptotympana Diceroprocta Hadoa Heteropsaltria Macrotristria Neotibicen Nggeliana Raiateana Salvazana Tacua Tibicen Cyclochilini Cyclochila Psaltoda Dundubiini Aceropyga Calcagninus Cosmopsaltria Diceropyga Dundubia Macrosemia Maua Meimuna Nabalua Orientopsaltria Platylomia Purana Tanna

Gaeanini Hyantiini Hyantia Mura Quesada Jassopsaltriini Moganniini Mogannia Oncotympanini (disputed) Oncotympana Platypleurini Platypleura Pycna Ugada Pomponiini Megapomponia Pomponia Talcopsaltriini (disputed) Tamasini Thophini Thopha Arunta
