Dichoptera is a genus of planthoppers found in tropical Asia. They were formerly placed in the family Dictyopharidae but are now considered members of the family Fulgoridae.[1]

Head profile

They have large and stout bodies with long membranous forewings. The head is short and may have a long process. There are 11 species in the genus.[2][3]

Often found on the bark of Ficus trees, they are tended by ants and sometimes parasitized by Dryinidae.[4]
