Aetalionidae are a family of plant-hoppers in the superfamily Membracoidea. Aetalionidae are somewhat like the Membracidae in that they have one to three rows of short spines on the hind tibia but differ in having the front femur fused to the trochanter and the scutellum is completely exposed. The females have finger-like protrusions on the genital capsule. The family is mostly Neotropical but the genus Darthula is found in Asia (Darthula hardwicki being eaten in parts of China and India).
