Abstract
Nine new species of Neotropical spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae: Ischnorhininae) are described and illustrated in the genera Catrimania (C. albifascia sp. n. with type locality in French Guiana, and C. livida sp. n. with type locality in Costa Rica), Ischnorhina (I. amazonica sp. n. with type locality in Brazil, and I. hamiltoni sp. n. with type locality in French Guiana), Maxantonia (M. mimica sp. n. with type locality in Peru), Vorago (V. thompsoni sp. n. with type locality in Ecuador), and Zuata (Z. carvalhoi sp. n. with type locality in Ecuador, Z. pecki sp. n. with type locality in Colombia, and Z. tigrina sp. n. with type locality in Bolivia).
