History

The genus ''Diceroprocta'' appears to have originated in Mexico, as that is where the most genetic diversity can be found. ''Diceroprocta'' cicadas are most closely related to the ''Tibicen'' genus; many ''Diceroprocta'' insects were originally falsely assigned to the ''Tibicen'' genus.

Biogeography

There are 21 ''Diceroprocta'' species that inhabit the United States and Canada. The subspecies can be separated into two primary categories: those in the central and eastern United States whose males possess rounded opercula, and those in the western and southern United States, whose males possess pointed opercula.
