The Platypleurini are a tribe of cicadas from the Afrotropical and Indomalayan realms. There are at least 240 described species in Platypleurini. The earliest member of the group is the fossil cicada Eoplatypleura, from the Eocene aged Messel Pit locality of Germany, which is also the oldest confirmed member of Cicadinae and one of the oldest Cicadids known from Eurasia.
