The Tettigarctidae, known as the hairy cicadas, are a small

cicadas.[1][2]

Genera

Only one genus in the family Tettigarctidae is not extinct, Tettigarcta.[3][4]

Many fossil genera have been historically attributed to this family. However, it has been argued that Tettigarctidae including all of these fossil species is a paraphyletic group that also includes some cicadas that are more closely related to Cicadidae than to Tettigarcta.[5]

Dates given in million years ago (Ma).
