Danepteryx robusta is a species of planthopper in the family Tropiduchidae, described by Doering in 1940. It belongs to the order Hemiptera, characterized by piercing-sucking mouthparts typical of true bugs. The species is known from North America, with specific records from California. As a member of the tropiduchid planthoppers, it shares the family's general morphology including a compact body form and wings held roof-like over the abdomen.
Dictyonissus
Dictyonissus is a genus of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae, established by Uhler in 1876. The genus comprises at least two described species: D. griphus and D. nigropilosus. As members of the subfamily Elicinae, these insects are part of the diverse Fulgoroidea superfamily within the true bugs (Hemiptera).
Dictyonissus griphus
Dictyonissus griphus is a tropiduchid planthopper species described by Uhler in 1876. It belongs to the family Tropiduchidae, a group of fulgoroid planthoppers characterized by their often broad, flattened body form. The species occurs in arid and semi-arid regions of the southwestern United States and Mexico.
Elicinae
Elicinae is a subfamily of tropiduchid planthoppers (Hemiptera: Tropiduchidae) comprising four extant tribes (Elicini, Bucini, Parathisciini, Elibucini) and four extinct tribes. Members are distinguished from other tropiduchids by their steeply tectiform body shape and distinctive female genitalia. The subfamily has a cosmopolitan distribution with notable concentration in Asia, and includes several species of agricultural and forestry significance.
