An ongoing survey to document planthopper diversity on palms (Arecaceae) is being conducted in Costa Rica. During these efforts a new species of derbid planthopper belonging to the genus Agoo was found on Astrocaryum alatum Loomis in the Heredia province at La Selva Biological Station and is described here as Agoo luzdenia Bahder Bartlett sp. n., bringing the genus to four described taxa-A. dahliana, A. luzdenia Bahder Bartlett sp. n., A rubrimarginata, and A. xavieri. Sequence data for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 18S genes was generated for the novel taxon and strongly supports its placement in the genus Agoo.

Cycadales is an extant group of seed plants occurring in subtropical and tropical regions comprising putatively three families and 10 genera. At least one complete plastid genome sequence has been reported for all of the 10 genera except , making it an ideal plant group to conduct comprehensive plastome comparisons at the genus level. This article reports for the first time the plastid genome of .
