Neocoelidiinae is a small subfamily in the family Cicadellidae (leafhoppers). It was originally included within the subfamily Coelidiinae.
Neocoelidiinae are easily recognisable by their very long antennae and distinctive head shape. Many species are incredibly vibrant and are most diverse in the neotropics. There are some species found in the neararctic region, specifically in the genus Neocoelidia.
There are two tribes in the subfamily, one being recently described in 2012.[1] These species are confined to the New World.
