SANBORN, ALLEN F, 2020, Eight new species and three new records of Neotropical cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) from Venezuela, Journal of Insect Biodiversity 16 (1), pp. 6-37 : 23

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.
