Description of a new Amazonian genus of Neocoelidiinae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Cicadellidae)A new genus of Neocoelidiinae, Scopocoelidia gen. nov., and its type-species, Scopocoelidia volsellata sp. nov., are described from the Amazonian Region. This new genus has external morphology very similar to that of Coelidiana Oman, 1936, but it can be easily distinguished from this and the other Neocoelidiinae genera by the features of the male genitalia, being the only genus in which the anal tube has brushes of bristles ventrally. The females of this genus are unknown. Illustrations and the geographical distribution of the studied species are given.
