Abstract

Tambinia verticalis Distant, an Indian tropiduchid planthopper, has been found breeding on coconut in Zanzibar, Tanzania, and also in low numbers in mainland Africa. No Tambinia species has hitherto been recorded in Africa. A lectotype is designated for T. verticalis, and the species is redescribed and figured.
