Cicadinae
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 Opacity (optics), opaque wing markings found in many species of the related Tibiceninae. Systematics This large subfamily is here divided into tribe (biology), tribes. Other schemes exist, which usually have a coarser subdivision. Some, however, merge the Tibiceninae here whole or partly. The genera given below were substantially revised 2010 through 2018 due to additional morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis. The following tribes belong to the subfamily Cicadinae:BioLib.cz: subfamily Cicadinae Latreille, 1802 (retrieved 3 May 2025) # Antankariini genera: ## ''Antankaria'' Dis ...
