Eurybrachidae (sometimes misspelled "Eurybrachyidae" or "Eurybrachiidae") is a small family of planthoppers with species occurring in parts of Asia, Australia and Africa. They are remarkable for the sophistication of their automimicry.
==Etymology== The family name is derived from the Greek () and (), meaning "broad" and "short". This presumably reflects the shape of adults of representative species.
