Remarks. These are the New World cicadas with ampliated lateral pronotal margins, hyaline fore wings and hind wings that are more or less spotted and possess a timbal cover that partially or entirely exposes the timbal. The distinguishing characteristics are a combination of hind coxae with a large inner protuberance, timbal covers that are reduced dorsally, a basal pygofer lobe that is usually bifurcate, an uncus that lacks a dorsal crest, and an aedeagus restrained by ventral apophyses (Marshall et al. 2018). The genera were recently assigned to one of two subtribes with the synonymy of the Dazini and the shape and size of the timbal covers (Sanborn 2018a).
