Two new species of Darnini (Hemiptera: Membracidae) from Colombia and Peru

Abstract

Two new species of treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae) from Colombia and Peru are described. Cyphotes colombiensis sp. nov. and Hypheodana sakakibarai sp. nov. both belong in the tribe Darnini. New distribution records are provided for Cyphotes (from Colombia) and Hypheodana (from Peru).

Review of Cyphotes Burmeister, 1835 (Hemiptera: Membracidae) with the description of a related new genus

“…"Cyphotes sp." figured in Godoy et al (2006;pp. 121-123) represents a new species of Allocyphotes but was not available for study; it will be treated in a separate paper.…”

“…Comments. The original description (Gonzalez-Mozo et al, 2017), did not provide a description or images of the genitalia, which are provided here. In contrast to other Allocyphotes species, in A. colombiensis the posterolateral area of the pronotum is well projected laterally but does not extend beyond the humeral angles (as in A. pompanoni).…”
