Distantasca Dworakowska originally established as a genus but more recently has been treated as a subgenus of Empoasca Walsh. Here we reinstate Distantasca as a valid genus and provide a revised diagnosis. New combinations created are Distantasca atika (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca barawa (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca bulbosa (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca latava (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca latibasis (Zhang & Liu), n. comb., Distantasca paraterminalis (Qin & Zhang), n. comb., Distantasca riora (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca rokasa (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca serratipenis (Qin & Zhang), n. comb., Distantasca tiaca (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca tna (Dworakowska), n. comb., Distantasca tuberculata (Zhang & Liu), n. comb., all from Empoasca (Distantasca). Distantasca terminalis (Distant) and D. faciata Dworakowska are reinstated from Empoasca (Distantasca). Two new species, Distantasca longihamatilis Zhang & Liu and Distantasca ricina Zhang & Liu spp. nov. are described and illustrated. Empoasca (Empoasca) smithi Fletcher & Donaldson, 1992 is transferred into the genus as Distantasca smithi (Fletcher & Donaldson).
远叶蝉属最初由迪斯坦塔斯卡·德沃拉科夫斯卡设立为一个属，但最近被视为叶蝉属（沃尔什）的一个亚属。在此，我们将远叶蝉属恢复为一个有效的属，并提供了修订后的诊断。新组合包括阿蒂卡远叶蝉（迪斯坦塔斯卡·德沃拉科夫斯卡），新组合；巴拉瓦远叶蝉（迪斯坦塔斯卡·德沃拉科夫斯卡），新组合；球茎远叶蝉（迪斯坦塔斯卡·德沃拉科夫斯卡），新组合；拉塔瓦远叶蝉（迪斯坦塔斯卡·德沃拉科夫斯卡），新组合；宽基远叶蝉（张 & 刘），新组合；近端远叶蝉（秦 & 张），新组合；里奥拉远叶蝉（迪斯坦塔斯卡·德沃拉科夫斯卡），新组合；罗卡萨远叶蝉（迪斯坦塔斯卡·德沃拉科夫斯卡），新组合；锯阴茎远叶蝉（秦 & 张），新组合；蒂阿卡远叶蝉（迪斯坦塔斯卡·德沃拉科夫斯卡），新组合；塔纳远叶蝉（迪斯坦塔斯卡·德沃拉科夫斯卡），新组合；瘤突远叶蝉（张 & 刘），新组合，均来自叶蝉属（远叶蝉亚属）。远叶蝉属终端叶蝉（迪斯坦特）和颜面远叶蝉（迪斯坦塔斯卡·德沃拉科夫斯卡）从叶蝉属（远叶蝉亚属）中恢复。描述并图示了两个新物种，长钩远叶蝉（张 & 刘）和蓖麻远叶蝉（张 & 刘），新种。1992年的史密斯叶蝉（弗莱彻 & 唐纳森）被转移到远叶蝉属，成为史密斯远叶蝉（弗莱彻 & 唐纳森）。
