In biological classification , a subfamily ( Latin : subfamilia , plural subfamiliae ) is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank , next below family but more inclusive than genus . Standard nomenclature rules end botanical subfamily names with "-oideae", and zoological subfamily names with "-inae".
3-398: The Cicadinae are a subfamily of cicadas , containing the translucent cicadas . They are robust cicadas and many have gaudy colors, but they generally lack the butterfly -like opaque wing markings found in many species of the related Tibiceninae .

6-540: The Tibiceninae here whole or partly. The genera given below were substantially revised 2010 through 2018 due to additional morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis. The following tribes belong to the subfamily Cicadinae: The names Platypleurini Schmidt, 1918 and Hamzini Distant 1905 refer to the same tribe. The question of name priority was submitted to the ICZN for resolution in 2018 (case 3761). The tribe Oncotympanini
