Ledrinae is a relatively small subfamily within the very large and diverse leafhopper family Cicadellidae. They are mostly green or brown with a flattened body and tibiae. The ocelli are located near the crown and the forewings have a dense network of veins.

The subfamily contains approximately around 500 species which are divided into around 5 to 7 tribes depending on the taxonomy followed. A 2009 revision treats the subfamily as having five tribes. The Afrorubrini are found only in southern Africa with 2 genera; the Hespenedrini has a single genus in Chile; Rubrini with a single genus in Australia; and two larger tribes that have a more widespread distribution, the Ledrini and Xerophloeini. Altogether there are more than 40 genera and around 14 others which are not well-placed.[1]
