Lyristes is a genus of cicadas from Europe and the Middle East.{{cite book |last1=Sanborn |first1=Allen F. |title=Catalogue of the Cicadoidea (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) |date=2013 |location=Amsterdam |isbn=978-0-12-416647-9}}{{cite journal |last1=Simões |first1=Paula Cristina |last2=Quartau |first2=José Alberto |title=Distribution of cicadas of the genus Lyristes (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in the eastern Mediterranean area |journal=Biologia |date=October 2013 |volume=68 |issue=5 |pages=961–965 |doi=10.2478/s11756-013-0243-x|doi-access=free |bibcode=2013Biolg..68..961S }} It was described by G. Horvath in 1926.{{cite journal |last1=Horvath |first1=G. |title=Les noms génériques de nos trois grandes Cigales indigènes. |journal=Annales Musei Nationalis Hungarici |date=1926 |volume=23 |pages=93–98}}

Many authors previously listed the species of Lyristes under genus Tibicen Berthold, 1827,{{cite book |last1=Berthold |first1=A.A. |title=Latreille's Naturliche Familien des Thierreiches. Aus dem Franzosischen. Mit Anmerkungen und Zusätzen. |date=1827 |publisher=Im Verlage des Gr. H.S. priv. Landes-Industrie-Comptoirs. |location=Weimar. |pages=1–604}} which shares the same type species. However, in 2021, this senior objective synonym was placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology by Opinion 2475 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.{{cite journal |title=Opinion 2475 (Case 239) – Tibicina Kolenati, 1857 and Lyristes Horvath, 1926 (Insecta, Hemiptera): usage conserved by the suppression of Tibicen Berthold, 1827; Cicada Linnaeus, 1758 (Insecta, Hemiptera): usage conserved by designation of Cicada orni Linnaeus, 1758 as the type species |journal=The Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature |date=August 2021 |volume=78 |issue=2 |pages=138–141 |doi=10.21805/bzn.v78.a032}}

Beginning in 2015, many American and Asian species were moved from this genus to create the new genera Auritibicen, Hadoa, Neotibicen, and Megatibicen, following molecular and morphological evidence.{{cite journal |last1=Hill |first1=Kathy B.
