Comment:
Tibicininae Distant 1905 (and the coordinated tribe and subtribe names with the same authorship) is based upon the generic name Tibicina, not on Tibicen, which was the type genus for a different family-group name established by Van Duzee in 1916. These are not homonymous even though the stem for both names should have been identical (Tibicin-) since the latter was originally misspelled Tibicenidae and is in prevailing usage with that spelling. The latter is now placed in subfamily Cicadinae, where it is junior to Cicadinae & Cryptotympanini
