Dictyopharidae is a family of bugs in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha belonging to the infraorder Fulgoromorpha. The family comprises nearly 760 species in more than 150 genera[1] which are grouped into two subfamilies, Dictyopharinae and Orgeriinae.
Description[]
Like all other fulgoroids, they have the antennae arising on the side of the head below the compound eye (not between the eyes as in the Cicadoidea). Many species have an elongated frons. Those that do not have this elongation may have 2 or 3 carinae (keels). The median ocellus is absent.[2]

A number of species are known from the fossil record, which reaches back to the Santonian age of the Late Cretaceous. The oldest fossil, belonging to the extinct dictyopharine tribe , was described from on the Taymyr Peninsula of Russia.[4] Younger amber fossils include the amber genus Alicodoxa described from Eocene Baltic and Rovno ambers[5] Compression fossil species include the Ypresian from the Fur Formation in Denmark and the Priabonian Florissantia elegans from the Florissant Formation, Colorado.[4]
