Tribe Cicadatrini Distant, 1905d

Cicadatraria Distant 1905d: 304 .

Type genus. Cicadatra Kolenati 1857: 407 .

REMARKS. The presence of claspers and a molecular phylogeny ( Marshall et al. 2018) stimulated the recent reassigned of the tribe to the Cicadettinae from the Cicadinae supporting the suggestion of Wang et al. (2017) that the tribe was part of the Cicadettinae . Cicadatrini possess timbal covers, a unique character in the Cicadettinae . The enlarged mediad subapical portion of the male opercula, several apical and subapical processes found on the aedeagus, and a bifurcate apical aedeagus were determined as diagnostic for the tribe by Wang et al. (2017).
