Tribe Zammarini Distant, 1905a

Zammararia Distant 1905a: 380 .

Dazini Kato 1932: 171 .

Plautillaria Distant 1905f: 563 .

Type genus. Zammara Amyot & Audinet-Serville 1843: 468 .

Remarks. New World cicadas with ampliated lateral pronotal margins, hyaline fore wings and hind wings more or less spotted, and timbal covers partially or entirely exposing the timbal make up the tribe. Additional distinguishing characteristics include a combination of hind coxae with a large inner protuberance, timbal covers reduced dorsally, recurved on the posterior timbal cavity margin or extending posteriorly from the metanotum, usually bifurcate basal pygofer lobe, uncus lacking a dorsal crest, and an aedeagus restrained by ventral apophyses ( Marshall et al. 2018). The genera were recently assigned to one of three subtribes with the synonymy of the Dazini Kato, 1932 and Plautillini Distant, 1905f based on the shape and size of the timbal covers ( Sanborn 2018a; 2020d).
