ABSTRACT
A new monotypic genus of nogodinid planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Nogodinidae) is described from Dominican amber. The adult female of Jatoba losbrachi gen. et sp. nov. can be distinguished from other genera of extant and extinct planthoppers by a combination of the following features: the absence of a medial carina on the mesonotum, the presence of transverse carina on the frons, the presence of transverse veinlets on the basal half of the tegmen, a multifurcate and curved longitudinal vein CuA at the apex of the clavus and eggs bearing an operculum. Of special interest is an immature egg in the process of being extruded from the tip of the abdomen and an already deposited egg adjacent to the body terminus.
