The Aphrophoridae are a family of spittlebugs belonging to the order Hemiptera.

[1][2][3][4] Membracoidea Cicadoidea Machaerotidae Clastopteridae Cercopidae Aphrophoridae (incl.

Epipyginae) 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").
