Abstract

Haplaxius is a large genus of cixiid planthoppers that is widespread in the New World and economically important due to the role of H. crudus in transmitting palm lethal decline phytoplasmas. A new species of Haplaxius, here described as Haplaxius pocococo sp. n., was discovered during survey work on palms in north-central Costa Rica. Placement in Haplaxius is supported by sequence analysis of the COI and 18S genes relative to congeners and by morphological characters.

摘要

哈普拉克修斯属是新大陆广布的犀角蝉科大型属，因其 crudus 种在传播棕榈致死衰退植原体方面的作用而具有重要的经济意义。在对中美洲北部棕榈的调查工作中发现了一种哈普拉克修斯属的新种，即 pocococo 种。COI 和 18S 基因序列分析相对于近缘种以及形态特征支持将其归入哈普拉克修斯属。
