Subtribe Taphurina Distant, 1905

Type genus. Cicada (Taphura) Stål 1862: 20 .

Remarks. After the reassignment of the genera previously assigned to the Tryellina Moulds, 2005 into the Lamotialnini Boulard, 1976, only two subtribes remain within the Taphurini (Marshall et al. 2018). Anopercalnina Boulard, 2008 contains a single genus whose males lack opercula and is restricted to Madagascar (Boulard 2008) and can quickly be distinguished from the species of the Taphurina . Eight Neotropical genera within the Taphurina are monospecific with only Taphura contains multiple species.
