In 2009, Jones and Deitz published a tribe-level taxonomic revision and reclassification of the cryptic, arboreal leafhopper subfamily Ledrinae Kirschbaum, 1868 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), based on cladistic analyses of 235 morphological features for 75 cicadellid species. Their evolutionary reconstructions found strong node support for a monophyletic ingroup comprising five lineages-each morphologically and geographically cohesive-and also identified numerous traditionally placed taxa (sensu Oman et al 1990) that did not belong. In light of the robustness of their results, the authors recognized the five independent ingroup clades as tribes of Ledrinae, and described three of these as new.
2009年,琼斯和戴茨基于对75种叶蝉科昆虫的235个形态特征进行的分支系统学分析,发表了一篇关于隐秘树栖叶蝉亚科Ledrinae Kirschbaum(1868年)(半翅目:叶蝉科)的族级分类修订和重新分类。他们的进化重建发现,一个由五个谱系组成的单系内类群得到了强烈的节点支持,每个谱系在形态和地理上都具有凝聚力,并且还识别出许多传统分类的类群(按照阿曼等人1990年的定义)并不属于该内类群。鉴于研究结果的稳健性,作者将五个独立的内类群分支识别为Ledrinae的族,并将其中三个描述为新族。
