This genus of 83 valid species has a predominantly northern distribution. Most of the taxa occur in the Palaearctic, Nearctic and Oriental regions. Only three species occur in the Neotropics. Five subgenera are recognized and all species except one have been placed in a subgenus. Dorylomorpha laeta is currently considered incertae sedis. The sole specimen (the holotype) is in poor condition and more material is required to allow the study of all characters necessary to place this to subgenus (Albrecht, 1990).  

All known hosts of Dorylomorpha belong to the Cicadellidae.
