Abstract
The acridid grasshoppers Dellia viridissima sp. nov. and Dellia ciceroana sp. nov. are described and illustrated from Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican Republic. These species inhabit transition and mountain forests between 450 – 1,300 m elevation. D. viridissima sp. nov. was found in close association with the vine Solandra longiflora Tuss. (Solanaceae) suggesting that it could be an oligophagous specialist. D. ciceroana sp. nov. was collected in a more xeric transition forest at the sides of the trail from Puerto Escondido to the heights of the Sierra de Bahoruco National Park. The number of Dellia species known from Hispaniola is increased to six, three of these being from Sierra de Bahoruco.
