Abstract: A new genus and species, Apollo maculiceps gen. & sp. nov., in the
planthopper family Cixiidae is described from south Western Australia. It can be
distinguished from all other Australian Cixiidae by the presence of a denticle
on the distal part of the fore coxa, a character that is shared with some other
Oecleini genera. Large numbers of Apollo maculiceps gen. & sp. nov. were
observed feeding on a native Australian cycad Macrozamia riedlei (family
Zamiaceae). This is the first record of the economically important tribe
Oecleini from Australia. A revised key to the tribes of the Australian Cixiidae
is presented.
