Orgerius bicornis is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, first described by Doering & Darby in 1943. The species belongs to the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, a group known for their distinctive head morphology and jumping ability. As a member of the Orgeriinae subfamily, it shares characteristics with other dictyopharid planthoppers that inhabit grassland and prairie ecosystems. The specific epithet 'bicornis' refers to the two-horned appearance of the head structure.
