The genus Platocerella is a monotypic otiocerine genus (Derbidae: Otiocerinae: Otiocerini) reported from Guyana. A new species of Platocerella associated with palms is herein described from Costa Rica. Molecular data for the barcoding region cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 18S rRNA gene, and D9-D10 expansion region of the 28S rRNA gene is provided to produce a preliminary phylogenetic tree including the new species and related taxa to place the new species relative to other otiocerine planthoppers.

Article Synopsis
- A new species of Eumyndus called Eumyndus jeanjacquei has been described, which is found exclusively in Madagascar.
- The species was discovered on a specific type of palm called Vonitra fibrosa.
- Molecular analysis using various genes confirmed its classification within the Eumyndus genus and proposed a new synonym for previously identified species.
Article Synopsis
- A new species of planthopper called Patara euryfrons was discovered in Jamaica's Castleton Botanic Garden during research on palms.
- This species is unique because it features a wider head compared to typical members of the Patara genus.
- To support the classification of this new species, additional molecular data from various genetic markers, including COI and rRNA genes, were provided.
Article Synopsis
- A new species of beetle, named C. stonei sp. nov., has been discovered in Costa Rica while researching planthoppers linked to palm trees.
- The study includes molecular data from specific genes (COI, 18S rRNA, and 28S rRNA) to confirm the classification of this beetle within the Colpoptera genus.
- This research enhances the understanding of biodiversity in the Colpopterini tribe and the ecological relationships in palm ecosystems.
Article Synopsis
- A new species of the genus Myxia has been identified through research in Villa Blanca, Costa Rica, notable for its large areolet on the front of its head.!
- Genetic analysis using multiple gene regions (18S rRNA, 28S, H3, and COI) confirms that Myxia is a cohesive group, reinforcing its classification as a distinct lineage.!
- The new species is categorized within the existing Myxia genus, indicating close evolutionary relationships with known members of this group.!
