The Fulgorinae[1] are a sub-family of insects in the Auchenorrhyncha: which include the spectacular "lantern-bugs" and allied insects.

## Tribes and genera[edit]

Nine genera are currently listed by the NCBI, but molecular studies question the placement of genera in the Zannini, even questioning whether they belong to the family Fulgoridae.[2] The Hemiptera database[3] currently (August 2023) currently places all genera in this subfamily in two tribes:

### Fulgorini[edit]

Auth.: Latreille, 1807 (central and southern America)

subtribe Fulgorina Latreille, 1807

1. Cathedra Kirkaldy, 1903  monotypic: Cathedra serrata
2. Diareusa Walker, 1858
3. Fulgora Linné, 1767 (type genus)
4. Phrictus Spinola, 1839

subtribe Odontopterina Metcalf, 1938

1. Aphrodisias Kirkaldy, 1906
2. Odontoptera Carreno, 1841

* Fulgora sp.

* Cathedra serrata

* Diareusa sp.

* Odontoptera carrenoi

* Phrictus quinqueparitus

### Laternariini[edit]

Auth.: Distant, 1906 (tropical Asia)

1. Datua Schmidt, 1911
2. Hariola Stål, 1863
3. Pyrops Spinola, 1839 (previously Laternaria, the genus may be incertae sedis by some authorities)
4. Saiva Distant, 1906

* Pyrops coelestinus

* Saiva gemmata
