 The oldest confirmed taxa are from the Early Cretaceous with "‘Cixius’ petrinus" described from Barremian deposits in England, "Karebodopoides aptianus" from Hauterivian to Aptian Lebanese amber and "Cretofennahia cretacea" plus an unnamed specimen from the Aptian of Brazil.Due to the abundant nature of Cixiidae as inclusions in Eocene Baltic amber a number of taxa have been described, including "Glisachaemus jonasdamzeni" and "Autrimpus sambiorum".Several taxa have also been described from Miocene Dominican amber including "Oligocixia electrina" and "Oliarius kulickae".
