Cixius pini
Cixius pini is a planthopper species in the family Cixiidae, described by Fitch in 1851. It is native to North America and has been recorded from multiple U.S. states including Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, and the District of Columbia.

Metadelphax
Metadelphax is a genus of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae, established by Wagner in 1963. The genus contains at least five described species, including M. propinqua, which has been studied for its biology and wing polymorphism. Members are small sap-feeding insects with characteristic delphacid morphology.

Oecleus lyra
Oecleus lyra is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, described by Kramer in 1977. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini within the subfamily Cixiinae. Like other cixiids, it is a member of the superfamily Delphacoidea, a group of true bugs characterized by their plant-sap feeding habits. The species has been documented in Arizona based on distribution records.

Oecleus sagittanus
Oecleus sagittanus is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, described by Ball & Klingenberg in 1935. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini, a group of small to medium-sized fulgoroid insects characterized by their brachypterous or macropterous wing conditions and association with host plants. The species epithet 'sagittanus' refers to an arrow-like shape, likely describing a morphological feature of the male genitalia or wing structure. Like other cixiids, it is presumed to feed on plant phloem sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.
