The first comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the globally distributed leafhopper subfamily Coelidiinae, based on combined molecular and morphological data, resolved relationships among major lineages but indicates that three tribes and some large genera are paraphyletic. The results suggest that some morphological characters previously used to define tribes and genera are not reliable and further comparative morphological analyses will be needed to improve the higher classification of Coelidiinae. Fossil‐calibrated molecular divergence tim...
