• Cedusini Emeljanov, A.F. 1992. Two new tribes, a new genus and a new species of the family Derbidae (Homoptera, Fulgoroidea). Vestnik Zoologii 4: 19-23 [20].

  Type genus:

   Cedusa Fowler, 1904.

Introduction

This tribe was introduced by Emeljanov (1992) in Russian with a brief English summary. In 1995, Emeljanov published a more comprehensive examination of the tribes of Derbidae and, in the English translation (Emeljanov 1996) the definitions of the tribes became more freely available. The Cedusini contains small moth-like planthoppers, mostly fairly dull in colour. The known Australian fauna comprises seven species, plus a colour morph, in two genera.

Diagnosis

Jugal margin of hindwings without stridulatory plate; branches of CuA of forewings not anastomosing; sensory pits absent from head and wings; hind tibia without lateral teeth; second segment of proboscis no more than twice as long as wide; subantennal crests well developed (Emeljanov 1996)
