Diagnosis: Female: macropterous, or micropterous; palpal formula 6/3; occipital carina complete; vertex of head frequently with two strong oblique keels connecting posterior ocelli to occipital carina; pronotum with distinct anterior collar and posterior disc; in macropterous females, forewing usually with distal part of stigmal vein longer than proximal part, less frequently as long as, or shorter than proximal part; enlarged claw with inner proximal prominence not bearing bristles, with 1–2 bristles or peg­like hairs located further distally than proximal prominence; tibial spurs 1/1/2. Male: always macropterous (even with female micropterous); palpal formula 6/3; vertex of head frequently with two strong oblique keels connecting posterior ocelli to occipital carina; antennal hairs usually much longer than breadth of segments, less frequently shorter than breadth of segments; fore wing usually with distal part of stigmal vein longer than proximal part, less frequently as long as, or shorter than proximal part; fore wing pterostigma commonly four or more times as long as broad; paramere without dorsal process, usually with one, more or less large, inner branch wrapping the penis, less frequently with one reduced inner branch; tibial spurs 1/1/2.

Distribution: Worldwide.

Hosts: Cicadellidae ( Guglielmino et al. 2013) .

World species: Presently with 155 known species ( Olmi & Virla 2014), of which 23 are from the Afrotropical Region.

Remarks: Fossil species of Deinodryinus were described by Ponomarenko (1975), Olmi et al. (2010), and Guglielmino and Olmi (2011).
