Description

This subfamily has very diverse members, some of which look very different from each other. They are somewhat moderate in shape and size when compared to other members of Cicadellidae and do not present many extremes in terms of slenderness or robustness.[1]

Distribution

Members of Evacanthinae are found worldwide and are on every continent except for Antarctica.

gollark: They didn't have swivel chairs then, among other things.
gollark: I would *not* like 500 BC.
gollark: Another issue is that the requirement that the human running everything not have to look far to place the next rock (→ cellular automaton is needed, as is said in the image) means there's even more indirection for useful computing, so you need even more rocks and time!
gollark: Also, you'll get bored.
gollark: Well, you don't actually have either in practice.
