The Tacuini are a tribe of cicadas, originally erected by William Lucas Distant in 1904.Distant WL (1904) Rhynchotal notes. -- XXVI. Annals and Magazine of Natural History. (Ser. 7), 14, 293–303. Most genera were placed previously in the tribe Cryptotympanini, with proposed synonomisation by Marshall et al. (2018); it was later confirmed that Tacuini was valid, having date priority.Dmitriev DA Sanborn AF (2023) Priority and the names of two cicada tribes (Hemiptera: Cicadidae: Cicadinae: Tacuini and Tettigomyiinae: Anopercalnini).
