Abstract
A new troglobitic cixiid species, Oliarus hernandezi sp. n. is described from three lava tubes on the island of Floreana, Galápagos group. It is the first known obligately cavernicolous planthopper species from Galápagos. Notes on its ecology and distribution are given, and phylogenetic relationships to epigean Oliarus species from Galápagos are discussed.
