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.
