Abstract
The first record of the planthopper tribe Achilini from Argentina is established with the description of Olmiana argentina gen. and sp. nov.. Details of the fifth larval instar are described. The systematic position of the new genus within the Achilidae is discussed, and a key to the genera of the subtribe Achilina is provided.References
