Abstract
The following four new species of leafhoppers are described and illustrated: Jikradia dentata n. sp. and J. trispinata n. sp. from Guatemala, J. variabilis n. sp. from Belize, and J. exilis n. sp. from Costa Rica. Jikradia basipendula Nielson and J. krameri Nielson are new records for Guatemala. Belize is a new record for the genus. A record of the first introduction of the genus in the Old World is reviewed. A revised key to the known species is provided with a review of its possible origin. A checklist of all known species is also given.
Highlights
The genus Jikradia was described by Nielson (1979) in a revision of the tribe Teruliini, followed by the description of one new species by Nielson (1989) and a subsequent review with descriptions of four new species by Godoy and Nielson (1998)
In this paper we describe four new species, two from Guatemala, one from Costa Rica and one from Belize, which is a new distribution record for the genus
Specimens from Italy were provided by Dr Francesco Poggi and are in M
