Abstract

The nymphs of Quadrinarea Goding are described and illustrated for the first time. Previously considered endemic to Jamaica, adults were recently discovered in Dominica (new country record) and possibly Guyana. The nymphs lack the scoli on the head, thorax, or abdomen that are common among the nymphs of many membracid taxa, including some members of most other tribes of Smiliinae. We also have collection records of adults suggesting that eggs are laid in clutches and that its native host plant is Annona muricata L. (Annonaceae).
