Two new species of the palm-feeding planthopper genus Agoo (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Derbidae) from southern Mexico
Two new species of the genus Agoo Bahder & Bartlett, A. kizini Pinedo-Escatel & Blanco-Rodrguez sp. nov. from the Yucatn Peninsula and A. palmalopezi Pinedo-Escatel & Blanco-Rodrguez sp. nov. from the state of Tabasco, Mexico are described and illustrated. Sequence data for the 18S rRNA and COX1 genes of A. kizini are provided and a distributional map of both species is also given. Specimens were found in association with palms, representing the first record of Agoo in Mexico.
