Obolopteryx truncoangulata n. sp., Barrientos-Lozano & Rocha-Sánchez, and a field collected conspecific gynandromorph are described, both from the northern Mexico's Highland. O. truncoangulata n. sp., may be separated from congeneric O. brevihastata based on morphological characters. The male's pronotum is more constricted mesally, and the tegmina are shorter. The disto-dorsal abdominal tergites sub-triangular projection broadly bilobated. Cerci broader proximally, and thumb and shaft more robust and shorter; subgenital plate deep "U" shape emarginated distally, lateral angles excised about mid portion. In females, tegmina, ovipositor, subgenital plate and basal sclerites are of different shape than analogous structures in O. brevihastata. Information on geographic distribution and ecology is provided.
描述了新物种截角奥博罗叶蝉（Obolopteryx truncoangulata n. sp.），由巴里恩托斯 - 洛萨诺（Barrientos-Lozano）和罗查 - 桑切斯（Rocha-Sánchez）发现，以及一只在野外采集到的同物种雌雄嵌合体，二者均来自墨西哥北部高地。截角奥博罗叶蝉新物种可根据形态特征与同属的短翅奥博罗叶蝉（O. brevihastata）区分开来。雄性的前胸背板在中部更狭窄，且前翅较短。腹部背面末节背板的远端三角形突起呈宽双叶状。尾铗近端更宽，拇指和柄部更粗壮且较短；亚生殖板呈深“U”形，远端有缺刻，侧角在中部附近切除。在雌性中，前翅、产卵器、亚生殖板和基部骨片的形状与短翅奥博罗叶蝉的类似结构不同。提供了关于地理分布和生态的信息。
