Abstract

Four new species of treehoppers are described: Cyphonia andina sp. nov. (from Peru, Cuzco), Poppea colombiana sp. nov. (from Colombia, Bolivar), Poppea turrialbae sp. nov. (from Costa Rica, Turrialba), and Poppea pallida sp. nov. (from Mexico, Oaxaca). The following nomenclatural changes are also given: Eucyphonia hispida (Walker, 1858), comb. nov., sp. reval. (formerly in Cyphonia); Poppea affinis Fowler, 1895, sp. reval.; Poppea bulbidorsa Goding, 1930 = Poppea desantisi Sakakibara & Remes-Lenicov, 1973, syn. nov.; Poppea concinna Fowler, 1895, sp. reval.; Poppea delicata Plummer, 1936 = Poppea nodosa Sakakibara & Remes-Lenicov, 1973, syn. nov.; Poppea munda Fowler, 1895, sp. reval. = Poppea reticulata Fowler, 1895, syn. nov.; Poppea nitida Funkhouser, 1930 = Poppea carbonelli Sakakibara & Remes-Lenicov, 1973, syn. nov. = Poppea flavipes Sakakibara & Remes-Lenicov, 1973, syn. nov. and, as incertae sedis, Poppea zebrina Funkhouser, 1930 (within Ceresini). A key to Poppea species is provided.
