Traditionally, most of the superfamily
Cercopoidea was considered a single family, the
Cercopidae, but this family has been split into three families for many years now: the Aphrophoridae, Cercopidae, and
Clastopteridae. All molecular analyses published since 2005 indicate that Aphrophoridae is monophyletic, but only if the
Epipyginae is retained within Aphrophoridae as a subfamily or tribe within Aphrophoridae, rather than excluded as a separate family ("Epipygidae"). == European genera==
