摘要

The poorly-known genus Conosimus (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Issidae) includes six species and is briefly reviewed. Adults and fifth instars of a new species, Conosimus baenai>n. sp. , are described and compared with other species in the genus. The new species is associated with an endemic shrub, Echinospartum boissieri , in Jaen, Spain, in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, one of the richest botanical areas of the Mediterranean Basin.
