estetiini
Estetiini is a taxonomic tribe of leafhoppers within the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Deltocephalinae. The circumscription of Estetiini has changed over time as new morphological and molecular data have become available, and the tribe currently includes several genera that share certain structural features used to distinguish Deltocephalinae tribes. Like other leafhoppers, estetiines are small to medium-sized, with a wedge-shaped body and jumping locomotion, and they are typically found on a variety of plants.
Diagnosis and morphology: Identification within the tribe relies mainly on detailed characters of the forewings and
Ecology and behavior: Estetiini species are phloem-feeding insects. They occur in diverse habitats, including grasslands, woodlands,
Distribution: The group has a broad distribution, with the greatest diversity in tropical and subtropical regions,
Taxonomic notes: Ongoing revisions using molecular data continue to refine the tribe’s composition and relationship to
