Recent survey work at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica identified two new planthopper species allied with Cenchrea Westwood. Through sequencing of COI and 18S, the new taxa were determined to not cluster with Cenchrea dorsalis, leading to the establishment of a new genus Tico gen. n. to accommodate these new species. Further comparisons with allied genera and review of diagnostic features at the genus level revealed the need for additional data to evaluate the genus-level placement of most species within Cenchrea.
Recent survey work for planthoppers at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica found two new species allied with Cenchrea Westwood. The cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 18S were sequenced for the new taxa and used these data to assess the genus-level standing of the new taxa. The new taxa do not cluster with Cenchrea dorsalis Westwood, the type species of Cenchrea. A new genus Tico gen. n. described for the reception of new species described as Tico emmettcarri sp. n. (the type species) and Tico pseudosororius sp. n. Cenchrea sororia Fennah is moved to Tico gen. n., to form the new combination Tico sororius (Fennah). Tico gen. n. is compared with allied genera, and review genus-level diagnostic features and the species composition of Cenchrea, which appears to be compositionally heterogenous, but additional data is needed to evaluate genus-level placement of most species.
