Additional evidence supports the inclusion by Hamilton (2001) of Machaerotinae in Clastopteridae. The former Clastopteridae (Clastopterinae sensu Hamilton, 2001) is revised to include Sepulliini (tr. nov.) Clastopterini includes a fossil genus Prisciba Poinar & Brown and the extant Clastoptera with 2 new species both from North America, and Iba Schmidt from the old-world. The last of these has 3 species (1 new), 2 from the Philippines and 1 in subgenus Parahindoloides Lallemand, stat. nov., from Borneo. Sepulliini includes 5 genera and 52 species from Africa, India and southeast Asia that were formerly included in "Aphrophoridae" but are now transferred to the redefined subfamily Clastopterinae, linking Clastopterini to Zygonini of the subfamily Machaerotinae. Sepulliini includes 24 newly described species: 2 species of Beesoniella Lallemand from India, and 1 of Grellaphia Schmidt from the Philippine Islands; and from continental Africa 2 species of Sepullia Stål from Ethiopia and Angola, Taphrotylus insignificans gen. & sp. nov. from Madagascar and 18 new species of Tremapterus Spinola, making Tremapterus (including Abbalomba Distant, Nyanja Distant and Patriziana Lallemand as subgenera) the largest and most widespread genus in Sepulliini. Its 38 species in sub-Saharan Africa include 2 new subgenera: Selenion (1 species) and Tremiziana (4 species). In this study, 25 new combinations are created: 20 in Tremapterus with T. major Jacobi (1910), described from Mt. Kilimandjaro, and T. occidentalis Schumacher (1912), described from above 1800 m on Mt. Cameroon transferred to Witteella Lallemand (Cercopidae, Aphrophorinae); Penthimia maculipennis Spinola and Philaenus maculosa Walker are transferred to Clastoptera Germar, and Parahindoloides lumuana Lallemand to Iba. The many new species and new combinations in the old-world fauna of Clastopterinae are included in keys and a checklist.
更多证据支持汉密尔顿（2001年）将长距沫蝉亚科归入沫蝉科的分类。原沫蝉科（汉密尔顿2001年意义上的沫蝉亚科）经修订后包括塞普利尼族（新族）。沫蝉族包括一个化石属普里斯卡沫蝉属Poinar & Brown以及现存的沫蝉属，其中有两个新物种均来自北美洲，还有来自东半球的伊沫蝉属Schmidt。伊沫蝉属有3个物种（1个新物种），2个来自菲律宾，1个在婆罗洲的副后沫蝉亚属Parahindoloides Lallemand，新地位。塞普利尼族包括5个属和52个物种，分布于非洲、印度和东南亚，它们以前被归入“沫蝉科”，但现在被转移到重新定义的沫蝉亚科，将沫蝉族与长距沫蝉亚科的合沫蝉族联系起来。塞普利尼族包括24个新描述的物种：印度的2种贝氏沫蝉属Lallemand、菲律宾群岛的1种格氏沫蝉属Grellaphia Schmidt；以及来自非洲大陆的2种埃塞俄比亚和安哥拉的塞普利亚沫蝉属Stål、马达加斯加的微小塔氏沫蝉属Taphrotylus gen. & sp. nov.和18种新的颤沫蝉属Tremapterus Spinola，使颤沫蝉属（包括阿巴洛姆巴沫蝉属Distant、尼亚尼亚沫蝉属Distant和帕特里齐亚沫蝉属Lallemand作为亚属）成为塞普利尼族中最大且分布最广的属。其在撒哈拉以南非洲的38个物种包括2个新亚属：硒沫蝉亚属（1个物种）和颤沫蝉亚属（4个物种）。在本研究中，建立了25个新组合：颤沫蝉属中有20个，其中大颤沫蝉T. major Jacobi（1910年），采自乞力马扎罗山，以及西方颤沫蝉T. occidentalis Schumacher（1912年），采自喀麦隆山海拔1800米以上处，被转移到威特沫蝉属Lallemand（沫蝉科，沫蝉亚科）；黄斑五斑沫蝉Penthimia maculipennis Spinola和黄斑沫蝉Philaenus maculosa Walker被转移到沫蝉属Germar，而卢穆纳副后沫蝉Parahindoloides lumuana Lallemand被转移到伊沫蝉属。沫蝉亚科东半球动物区系中的许多新物种和新组合都包含在检索表和名录中。
