Abstract

Recently, the genus Tico Bahder Bartlett was described as part of ongoing research focused on planthopper diversity on palms in Costa Rica to accommodate two new species and the transfer of one species from Cenchrea Westwood. Herein, a new species of Tico is described from palms and Heliconia spp. at the La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica. Placement of the novel taxon is supported by molecular analysis of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene and 18S rRNA gene.
