Long-nosed Dictyopharid Planthopper

Description:

Greenish dictyaphorid planthopper (genus Dictyophara (Germar, 1833), tribe Dictyopharini), on camote tops (sweet potato plant). I found this hopper hanging out with some grasshoppers on the same leaf and nearby leaves. Dictyopharidae (Spinola, 1839) is a family of bugs in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha belonging to the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, superfamily Fulgoroidea. The family comprises nearly 760 species in more than 150 genera.
