Sanborn, Allen F., 2018, The cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) of Panama including the description of six new species, three new combinations, one new synonymy, and nine new records, Zootaxa 4493 (1), pp. 1-69 : 36

Genus Diceroprocta Stål, 1870

(Cicada) Diceroprocta Stål 1870: 714 .

TYPE SPECIES. Cicada alacris Stål 1864: 62 . ( Mexico)

Remarks. Sanborn & Heath (2012) provided the first full generic description with additional refinement of the generic characters by Hill et al. (2015). Marshall et al. (2018) reassigned the genus to the Fidicinini from the Cryptotympanini .

Distribution. The Panamanian records represent the southern limit of the genus, which has been recorded from Bahamas, Belize, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, the United States of America, and the West Indies ( Metcalf 1963b; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2013). Records from Brazil, Guyana, Surinam and Venezuela are questionable or refer to Diceroprocta grossa ( Fabricius, 1775) or Diceroprocta tibicen ( Linnaeus, 1758) , both incertae sedis species ( Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2007b; 2013).
