Haplaxius is a large genus of cixiid planthoppers found widely in the New World, with particular economic importance due to the role of H. crudus in transmitting palm lethal decline phytoplasmas. A new species of Haplaxius, named Haplaxius pocococo sp. n., was discovered during survey work on palms in north-central Costa Rica and confirmed to belong to the genus through genetic sequencing and morphological analysis.
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.
