The importance of Cercopidae in today's society is undeniable. Whether as a public figure, as a topic of debate, or as part of history, Cercopidae has left his mark on the lives of many people. In this article we will explore its influence in different aspects, from its impact on popular culture to its contributions in the scientific field. Through in-depth analysis, we will be able to better understand the role Cercopidae has played in the world and the relevance it continues to have today.

(see text)

Cercopidae are the largest family of Cercopoidea, a xylem-feeding insect group, commonly called froghoppers.[2] They belong to the hemipteran suborder Auchenorrhyncha. A 2023 phylogenetic study of the family suggested the elevation of the New World subfamily Ischnorhininae to full family status as Ischnorhinidae, leaving a monophyletic Old World Cercopinae.[3]

Taxonomy

Based on a 2023 molecular phylogenetic analysis, the Cercopidae senso stricto was divided into two monophyletic subfamilies, Cercopinae and Cosmoscartinae, each with a number of tribes.[3]

Invalid genera

Crispolon Jr et al. (2023) considered certain described genera as invalid without discussion and did not include them in the family as prescribed by their phylogeny.[3]

Taxa removed from Cercopidae

Crispolon Jr. et al.s 2023 molocular phylogenetic analysis recommended removing the following genera from Cercopidae and transferring them to Aphrophoridae:[3]

Additionally they recommended the elevation of the subfamily Ischnorhininae, endemic to the Americas, to full family status as Ischnorhinidae. This was based on the closer phylogenetic ties to Machaerotidae then to subfamily Cercopinae found exclusively in Europe, Africa, and Asia, Australasia:[3]
