History

The genus Diceroprocta appears to have originated in Mexico, as that is where the most genetic diversity can be found. [5] Diceroprocta cicadas are most closely related to the Tibicen genus; many Diceroprocta insects were originally falsely assigned to the Tibicen genus. [5]

Biogeography

There are 21 Diceroprocta species that inhabit the United States and Canada. [5] 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.
