The Tacuina (previously known as the Cryptotympanini[1]) is a subtribe of cicadas in the subfamily Cicadinae. They are found in the Nearctic, Palearctic, Indomalaya, Oceania, and Afrotropics.[2]

Genera

The World Auchenorrhyncha Database[2] includes the following:[lower-alpha 1]

  1. Auritibicen Lee, 2015
  2. Cacama Distant, 1904 (cactus dodgers)
  3. Chremistica Stål, 1870
  4. Cornuplura Davis, 1944
  5. Cryptotympana Stål, 1861
  6. Hadoa Moulds, 2015 (western annual cicadas)
  7. Lyristes Horváth, 1926 (synonym Tibicen)[lower-alpha 2]
  8. Megatibicen Sanborn & Heath, 2016
  9. Neotibicen Hill & Moulds, 2015 (annual or dogday cicadas)
  10. Raiateana Boulard, 1979
  11. Salvazana Distant, 1913 - monotypic S. mirabilis

Note

  1. A number of living genera have been moved to other tribes; the fossil genus †Camuracicada Moulds, 2018[3] is now placed incertae sedis in the Cicadidae.
  2. "Lyristes" was a junior synonym of Tibicen Latreille, 1825 and this case is now confirmed.[4]
