Habitat
nearly all terrestrial ecosystems
Food
wide variety of eudicots and occasionally grasses and sedges
Remarks
Polyphyletic tribe, pretty much "Deltocephalinae incertae sedis". The earlier subtribes have all been found artificial, except for Cicadulina, now elevated to tribal status. The Athysanus-group is mostly monophyletic. Deltocephalini & Paralimnini are consdered monophyletic.
