Evacanthinae is a subfamily in the family Cicadellidae (leafhoppers). It contains six tribes, some of which were previously subfamilies of their own.
Description
This subfamily has very diverse members, some of which look very different from each other. They are somewhat moderate in shape and size when compared to other members of Cicadellidae and do not present many extremes in terms of slenderness or robustness.[1]
Distribution
Members of Evacanthinae are found worldwide and are on every continent except for Antarctica.
