ABSTRACT: The subfamily Centrotinae is the largest and only cosmopolitan subfamily within the treehopper family Membracidae (Insecta: Hemiptera). As the first comprehensive morphological study of the subfamily, this work includes: (a) phylogenetic analyses, (b) illustrated taxonomic keys and descriptions for identifying 23 tribes (6 new) and 2 unplaced genera, (c) new synonymies (1 generic, 11 tribal, 1 subfamilial), (d) a new lectotype designation, and (e) 5 new combinations. Of 216 genera here included in the subfamily, 207 are placed in tribes, 2 are unplaced but have known affinities, and 7 are too poorly known for placement. One genus formerly placed in Centrotinae is placed as Membracidae incertae sedis. https://repository.lib.ncsu.edu/handle/1840.16/4616
