Aphaeninae

The subfamily Aphaeninae is a group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics, in the family Fulgoridae, or "lanternflies".

Tribes

See text

The future of the Aphaeninae as a subfamily is unclear since the taxa assigned to it do not form a monophyletic group in recent molecular analyses.[1][2] The tribe Enchophorini, previously placed here, has been raised to a subfamily.

Tribes and genera

edit

Recent research has resulted in the reclassification of the former tribe Enchophorini to a separate subfamily (e.g. [3]), while the tribe Pyropsini is now included here (e.g.,[4][5][6]).
