Abstract

The Neotropical treehopper genus Cyphotes Burmeister, 1835 (= Aspona Stal, 1862 syn. nov.) is redefined. Cyphotes contains only two species, the type species Cyphotes nodosa Burmeister, 1835 (= Aspona bullata Stål, 1862 syn. nov.) and Cyphotes quadrinodosa (Fonseca & Diringshofen, 1969) reinstated. comb. Allocyphotes gen. nov. (type species Cyphotes insolita Goding, 1929) is proposed to accommodate two other species previously placed in Cyphotes, Allocyphotes pompanoni (Boulard, 2011) comb. nov. and Allocyphotes colombiensis (González-Mozo, 2017) comb. nov., and three new species from Ecuador: A. flavus sp. nov., A. waoraniorum sp. nov and A. robertoi sp. nov. for a total of six species. Illustrations, including genitalia images, new locality records and keys to genera and species are provided.
