Acinaca lurida
Acinaca lurida is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, described by Ball and Hartzell in 1922. It belongs to the subfamily Orgeriinae, a group of planthoppers often associated with arid and semi-arid environments. The species is recorded from the southwestern United States, specifically Arizona, California, and New Mexico. Very little is known about its biology or ecology.
Deserta
Deserta is a genus of planthoppers in the family Dictyopharidae, first described by Ball and Hartzell in 1922. These insects belong to the order Hemiptera and are part of the diverse group of true bugs known as planthoppers. The genus is placed within the subfamily Orgeriinae and tribe Orgeriini.
Deserta bipunctata
Deserta bipunctata is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, described by Ball in 1909. It belongs to the subfamily Orgeriinae, a group of flightless or weak-flying planthoppers commonly known as 'false leafhoppers.' The genus Deserta is endemic to western North America. The specific epithet 'bipunctata' refers to two spots, likely describing a distinctive marking pattern on the body.
Deserta obesa
Deserta obesa is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, first described by Ball in 1909. It belongs to the subfamily Orgeriinae, a group commonly known as orgeriine planthoppers that are typically associated with arid and semi-arid environments. The species has been documented from the southwestern United States, specifically Arizona and Utah.
Deserta obscura
Obscure Planthopper
Deserta obscura is a planthopper species in the family Dictyopharidae, known from the western United States. It belongs to a genus of small, often cryptic planthoppers that inhabit arid and semi-arid grasslands. The species has been documented in California, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah, typically in association with shortgrass prairie and sagebrush steppe habitats. Like other members of the subfamily Orgeriinae, it likely feeds on grass species and exhibits limited dispersal capabilities.
Deserta pinturensis
Deserta pinturensis is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, first described by Doering in 1955. It belongs to the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, a group commonly known as fulgoroid planthoppers. The genus Deserta is classified within the subfamily Orgeriinae and tribe Orgeriini. This species is part of a taxonomic group characterized by often elaborate head projections and specialized host associations with plants.
Orgamara argentia
Orgamara argentia is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, described by Ball in 1937. It belongs to the subfamily Orgeriinae, a group commonly known as orgeriine planthoppers. The species has been recorded from Arizona, USA. As a member of the Hemiptera, it possesses piercing-sucking mouthparts typical of true bugs.
Orgamara reducta
Orgamara reducta is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, first described by Ball in 1909. The species belongs to the subfamily Orgeriinae, a group commonly known as grass-feeding planthoppers. It is distributed across parts of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Records indicate occurrence in California, New Mexico, and Baja California.
Orgerius bicornis
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.
Orgerius rhyparus
Orgerius rhyparus is a planthopper species in the family Dictyopharidae, described by Carl Stål in 1859. It belongs to the subfamily Orgeriinae, a group of dictyopharid planthoppers often associated with arid and semi-arid environments. The species has been recorded from western North America, including the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Like other members of its family, it possesses an enlarged, often elaborately modified head structure.
Ticida transversa
Ticida transversa is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, described by Van Duzee in 1908. It belongs to the subfamily Orgeriinae, a group commonly known as dictyopharid planthoppers. The species is distributed across the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.
Ticrania chamberlini
Ticrania chamberlini is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, subfamily Orgeriinae. The species was described by Van Duzee in 1923. It belongs to the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, a group of true bugs known for their distinctive head morphology and often elaborate pronotal structures. Like other members of the family Dictyopharidae, this species is characterized by an elongated, often snout-like head projection. The genus Ticrania is placed in the tribe Orgeriini within the subfamily Orgeriinae.
Timonidia
Timonidia is a genus of planthoppers in the family Dictyopharidae, subfamily Orgeriinae. The genus was established by Ball and Hartzell in 1922. Members of this genus belong to the tribe Orgeriini and subtribe Orgeriina. As with other Dictyopharidae, species in this genus are likely characterized by elongated head processes and association with grassland or open habitat vegetation.
Timonidia solitaria
Timonidia solitaria is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, described from California in 1922. The genus Timonidia is placed in the subfamily Orgeriinae, a group of dictyopharid planthoppers often associated with arid and semi-arid habitats. Like other members of this family, it likely possesses an enlarged, often elaborately modified head structure characteristic of many fulgoromorphs. The specific epithet 'solitaria' suggests this species may occur singly or in low densities relative to congeners.
