Phyllotettix (compressus) complex nov.

Composition and distribution

(Figs 1, 2). The complex includes two very similar species, P. compressus and P. foliatus, which are endemic to Jamaica. The complex may include more undescribed species, but may also represent a single variable species whose variation has not been correctly assessed yet.

Diagnosis

(Figs 1, 3). The tip of the pronotum does not reach behind the hind knees. Pronotum rectangular/rhomboid in shape. In lateral view, the anterior margin of the pronotum may be more or less undulated, while the posterior margin of the pronotal crest is excised or convex. The posterior tip of the pronotum is sharp.
