Evacanthinae is a subfamily in the family Cicadellidae (leafhoppers).

Distribution

[edit]

Members of Evacanthinae are found worldwide and are on every continent except for Antarctica.

Tribes and genera

[edit]

There are five tribes in the subfamily, some of which were subfamilies of their own.[1]

Balbillini

Evacanthini

[edit]

Erected by Metcalf in 1939. They are distributed across most of the Northern Hemisphere and into the Indomalayan realm.

Nirvanini

Erected by Baker in 1923. They are distributed mostly throughout the Southern Hemisphere, but species have spread globally. This tribe previously made up the subfamily Nirvaninae.
