A new genus and species of planthopper – Yobuenahuaboshka rectangialatus gen. et sp. nov., preserved as inclusion in late Lower Miocene, Burdigalian amber from Hispaniola (Dominican Republic) is described and illustrated. Classification and fossil records of the family Nogodinidae, and their issues, are briefly overviewed. The morphological characters of the new taxon with related recent and fossil Colpopterini are discussed. Hypotheses based on the distributional pattern of the Colpopterini and geotectonic events in the Caribbean, with dispersal over water barriers, through more or less continuous landmasses as well as continent-island are presented.
