Aridia
Aridia is a genus of planthoppers in the family Dictyopharidae, first described by Ball & Hartzell in 1922. Members of this genus belong to the subfamily Orgeriinae and tribe Orgeriini, placing them among the more derived dictyopharid planthoppers. The genus is part of the diverse Fulgoroidea superfamily, which contains many economically significant plant-feeding insects. Specific species-level information remains poorly documented in accessible literature.
Orgerius glaucus
Orgerius glaucus is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, described by Emeljanov in 2006. It belongs to the subfamily Orgeriinae, a group commonly known as dictyopharid planthoppers. The species is known from California, USA. As a member of Hemiptera, it possesses piercing-sucking mouthparts typical of true bugs. Little detailed information is available regarding its biology or ecology.
Orgerius triquetrus
Orgerius triquetrus is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, described by Doering and Darby in 1943. It belongs to a genus of small to medium-sized fulgoroid insects characterized by elongated bodies and often distinctive head structures. The species is known from the southwestern United States, with records from Arizona and California. Like other dictyopharids, it is presumed to feed on plant sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.
Rhynchomitra microrhina
Rhynchomitra microrhina is a species of dictyopharid planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae. It is a true bug in the order Hemiptera, characterized by the elongated head structure typical of its genus. The species has been documented across the southeastern United States. It is one of the more frequently observed members of its genus, with over 1,600 citizen science records.
Ticida
Ticida is a genus of planthoppers in the family Dictyopharidae, established by Uhler in 1891. Members of this genus are true bugs (Hemiptera) within the suborder Auchenorrhyncha and infraorder Fulgoromorpha. The genus has been documented through 71 iNaturalist observations. The name 'Ticida' has also been applied to a butterfly species (Ladda ticidas), but this usage is taxonomically distinct and not related to the planthopper genus.
