Abstract

Three previously unrecognized spittlebug species are described: Aphrophora ampliata n. sp. (Vancouver Island, B.C.), A. regina n. sp. (Queen Charlotte Islands, B.C.), and A. parallella Say (neotype from Ontario). Aphrophora gelida (Walker) is the correct name for A. signoretii of authors. A new subgenus, Pinimber, is described for the pine spittlebug, A. cribrata (Walker) = A. parallela of authors, nee Say.
