The species is native to western North America, with records from California and Baja California. As a member of the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, it belongs to a group of phloem-feeding insects commonly known as planthoppers. The genus Danepteryx is classified within the subfamily Elicinae and tribe Elicini.
Dictyobia semivitrea
Dictyobia semivitrea is a species of planthopper in the family Tropiduchidae, first described by Provancher in 1889. It belongs to the tribe Elicini within the subfamily Elicinae. The species has been recorded across a broad geographic range in North America, from California and Texas to Québec.
Dictyssa ovata
Dictyssa ovata is a planthopper species in the family Tropiduchidae, first described by Ball in 1910. It belongs to the subfamily Elicinae and tribe Elicini. The species is known from western North America, including California and Baja California. Like other members of its family, it likely feeds on plant sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.
Dyctidea variegata
