Taphuraria Distant 1905b: 25.

TYPE GENUS.— Cicada (Taphura) Stål 1862: 20.

REMARKS.—Species of Taphurini are characterized by a head that is wider than the maximum width of the pronotum, a subquadrate pronotum that is not distinctly narrowed anteriorly, pronotal lateral margins that are not developed or dilated, male opercula that curve towards the abdominal midline but remain widely separated, are small, narrow, and do not cover the tympanal cavity, the abdominal length is about as long as the distance between the apex of the postclypeus and the posterior of the cruciform elevation, the timbals do not extend below the wing bases, an uncus is absent but the anal tube may possess lateral lobes, the upper pygofer lobes are small and unsclerotized, and the basal lobes of the pygofer are large and ornamented, especially in Taphura (Moulds 2005; Sanborn 2017a; Marshall et al. 2018).
