Introduction
This subfamily includes three Australian species in two genera. One is the Pandanus Planthopper, Jamella australiae Kirkaldy, which has become a pest of Pandanus trees on the New South Wales north coast. Species of Flatoidinae tend to be cryptically coloured and have the tegmina and wings held flat rather than tectiform as in the Flatinae.
Diagnosis
Körper von oben nach unten zusammengedrückt, die Deckflügel daher horizontal oder flach dachförmig gestellt, die Apicalränder zuweilen aneinander geschlossen (Melichar 1901).
