A checklist of treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae) of Panama is provided with known province distribution data. The worldcatalogue of Membracoidea, through 1996, lists 68 genera, 162 species, and 1 subspecies from Panama (McKamey, 1998).New research in Panama has documented range extensions for 29 genera, 107 species, and 1 subspecies previously unknownfrom Panama. With these adjustments and additions, the total treehopper fauna from Panama includes 97 genera, 269 species, and 2 subspecies.

Treehoppers are sap-sucking hemipteran insects that have been found worldwide except Antarctica. They are also absent from Madagascar, Greenland, and Iceland. Their diverse pronotal development has made them a favorite group for entomologists with many regional and habitat studies done in the United States (Dietrich et al. 1999, Deitz and Wallace 2012, Flynn 2012. Only six new species in the United States have been described in the last 50 years. Deitz and Wallace (2012) lists three species:

A new species of treehopper from Puebla, Mexico is described, Cladonota (Lecythifera) crucifixa n. sp., with illustrations and biological notes and compared with C. hoffmanni (Peláez, 1940).
