Hyphinoini is a tribe of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. These insects are distinguished by a pronotum that is often strongly inflated above the head, sometimes forming balloon-like or "turban-shaped" processes that can be more than three times the width of the head. They are generally solitary sap-feeders.
