| Relationships with other groups based on Cryan (2005).[5] |
Traditionally, most of the superfamily Cercopoidea was considered a single family, the Cercopidae, but this family has been split into three families for many years now: the Aphrophoridae, Cercopidae, and Clastopteridae. All molecular analyses published since 2005 indicate that Aphrophoridae is monophyletic, but only if the Epipyginae is retained within Aphrophoridae as a subfamily or tribe within Aphrophoridae, rather than excluded as a separate family ("Epipygidae").[5][6][7][8]
