and
P. (P.) foliatus
, while the
Phyllotettix Rhombotettix
subgen. nov. includes

comb. nov. and
P. (R.) rhombeus
. All species are endemic to Jamaica.

The anterior margin of the pronotum is undulated (smooth in
Choriphyllum
). The capital sinus is short, shallow and wide. The highest point of the pronotum is behind the middle (before the middle or in the middle in
Choriphyllum
). Apex of the pronotum oblique or sharp (strongly truncated in

).
