Diceroprocta swalei
Stripewing Flag-Bearer
Diceroprocta swalei is a cicada species in the family Cicadidae, found in the southwestern United States and Mexico. It inhabits oak-juniper woodland zones at moderate elevations, where males produce loud calling songs to attract mates. The species is distinguished by a prominent dark zig-zag band across each forewing. It is one of several Diceroprocta species occurring in the Sonoran Desert region, where it replaces D. semicincta at higher elevations.
