Abstract

Specimens of a leafhopper from Jamaica, previously thought to be Osbornellus bimarginatus (DeLong) and which is suspected of being the vector of lethal yellowing disease of coconut, were found to belong to a new species. This is described as O. dabeki sp.n. and compared with related species. Genitalia of the male of Caribovia intensa (Wlk.), hitherto unknown, is described, and this species is compared with and shown to be distinct from C. coffeacola (Doz.).
