Family Delphacidae Leach, 1815
Subfamily Delphacinae Leach, 1815
Tribe Delphacini Leach, 1815: 125
There are about 80 New World genera, depending on count details (Liburnia might be excluded as invalid).
Recent additions: added the new genera Astatometopon and Neodelphax, and now less-recent genera of Ampliphax and Pyrophagus; Matutinus was preoccupied and has been replaced by Distantinus. Tragediana Campodonico, 2017, Euryburnia Emeljanov, 2019, and Melaniphax Bartlett 2019 were recently added. Undoubtedly there will be more changes coming.
Each of the genera will be linked to its own page. Click on links for additional information about that genus. I have included a couple of genera, significant from an economic standpoint that does not occur in the New World.
