Biology:Dyticopycna
From HandWiki
Dyticopycna is a genus of mainland African cicadas in the tribe Platypleurini, erected by Allen Sanborn in 2020;[1] he named it from the Greek: δυτικός (western) and the similar genus Pycna (now only containing species from Madagascar), where several species were placed before the revision.[2] At least four species have also been moved here from Platypleura.[2]
Species distribution records are from Sub-Saharan Africa: especially the West and South of the continent.[2]
