Cercopidae are the largest family of Cercopoidea, a xylem-feeding insect group, commonly called froghoppers.[2] They belong to the hemipteran suborder Auchenorrhyncha. A 2023 phylogenetic study of the family suggested the elevation of the New World subfamily Ischnorhininae to full family status as Ischnorhinidae, leaving a monophyletic Old World Cercopinae.[3]
