Abstract
Keys to all levels of the subfamily Deltocephalinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) of Pakistan are provided based on published records and original data from recent research. Checklists to the genera and species of Deltocephalinae are also given. A total of 49 genera with more than 100 species are now known from Pakistan. Two new synonyms are proposed, i.e., Cicadulina striata Ahmed, 1986 a junior synonym of Cicadulina chinai Ghauri, 1965, syn. nov. and Macrosteles parafalcatus Naveed & Zhang, 2018 a new junior synonym of Macrosteles indrina (Pruthi, 1930), syn. nov.
