Unique among other species of Neotibicen, this species is almost exclusively associated with Eastern tallgrass prairies and the Great plains region of central North America. Prior to the European penetration and settlement of the interior of North America, this cicada was among the most widespread and abundant species in the great plains region; inhabiting a sprawling geographic range. Unfortunately, the extensive destruction of the North American tallgrass prairie for the purposes of agriculture, livestock grazing, and urbanization have precipitated the widespread decline of this species and fragmentation of its distribution. In certain areas of dense urban development or agricultural activity in its former range, populations have been decimated and the cicada effectively extirpated. In modern times, it exists in isolated prairie remnants scattered across the great plains. Although generally listed as a least concern species by conservation groups, remaining relict populations should be monitored and conserved.This species used to be called Tibicen dorsatus, but in July 2015, after genetic and physiological evaluation and reconfiguration of the genus Tibicen, this cicada and others in the genus Tibicen were moved to newly created genera. Furthermore, the genus Tibicen still exists, but today it only encompasses a small number of European taxa.In 2008, N. dorsatus was splintered into 2 distinct species after morphological and behavioral evaluation: Neotibicen tremulus and Neotibcen dorsatus."@en }
