Neocoelindroma, a new genus of Neocoelidiinae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Cicadellidae) from the Neotropical Region

A new genus of Neocoelidiinae, Neocoelindroma gen. nov., and its type-species, Neocoelindroma nigricephala sp. nov., are described from Ecuador. This new genus has the external coloration similar to that of Coelindroma Kramer, 1967, but it can be distinguished from this and the other Neocoelidiinae genera by the features of the male genitalia and by the black color of the head in frontal view. Illustrations and the geographical distribution of the studied species are given.
