Remarks. Zammarini are the New World cicadas with ampliated lateral pronotal margins, generally hyaline fore wings ( Juanaria poeyi ( Guérin-Méneville, 1856) has completely opaque fore wings), hindwings that generally are spotted, and species possess a timbal cover that partially or entirely exposes the timbal. Additional distinguishing characteristics of species assigned to the tribe are the combination of hind coxae possessing a large inner protuberance, timbal covers that are reduced dorsally but cover part of the lateral timbal, a basal pygofer lobe that is usually bifurcate, an uncus that lacks a dorsal crest, and an aedeagus that is restrained by ventral apophyses ( Marshall et al. 2018). The genera are currently assigned to three subtribes ( Sanborn 2018, 2020c).
