Tribes and genera edit
Nine genera are currently listed by the NCBI, but molecular studies question the placement of genera in the Zannini, even questioning whether they belong to the family Fulgoridae.[2] The Hemiptera database[3] currently (August 2023) currently places all genera in this subfamily in two tribes:
Fulgorini edit
Auth.: Latreille, 1807 (central and southern America)
- subtribe Fulgorina Latreille, 1807
- Cathedra Kirkaldy, 1903 monotypic: Cathedra serrata
- Diareusa Walker, 1858
- Fulgora Linné, 1767 (type genus)
- Phrictus Spinola, 1839
- subtribe Odontopterina Metcalf, 1938
- Aphrodisias Kirkaldy, 1906
- Odontoptera Carreno, 1841
