A new species of Microledrida Fowler from Curaçao (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Cixiidae)

As part of a review of the Auchenorrhyncha of the (former) Dutch Antilles, a new species in the genus Microledrida, Microledrida malpaisa sp. nov., is described from Curaçao. The novel taxon differs from other species in the genus in colouration and form of its male genitalia, especially the shape of the anal tube and the number and shape of the spinal processes of the phallotheca. The records from Curaçao, a record from Panama, and iNaturalist records from Costa Rica comprise the southernmost records of the genus, which was hitherto not formally recorded south of Guatemala and Puerto Rico. An illustrated checklist and revised key to species are presented.

Abstract

As part of a review of the Auchenorrhyncha of the (former) Dutch Antilles, a new species in the genus Microledrida, Microledrida malpaisa sp. nov., is described from Curaçao. The novel taxon differs from other species in the genus in colouration and form of its male genitalia, especially the shape of the anal tube and the number and shape of the spinal processes of the phallotheca. The records from Curaçao, a record from Panama, and iNaturalist records from Costa Rica comprise the southernmost records of the genus, which was hitherto not formally recorded south of Guatemala and Puerto Rico. An illustrated checklist and revised key to species are presented.
