Remarks.

The genus Dichoptera was erected by Spinola in 1939 as one of five dictyopharid genera for the family Dictyopharidae . A total of eleven species are included in the genus, which is restricted in the Oriental region. The genus Dichoptera was moved by Emeljanov (1979) from Dictyopharidae to Fulgoridae and a taxonomic review on this group is preparing (Song and Liang, in prep.).
