Abstract

Floritettix are endemic to the North American Coastal Plain. Here I describe a new species, Floritettix phloxsp. nov., from the Bombing Range Ridge in central Florida. This species appears to be restricted to the heavily burned scrub habitat on this small ridge. This species is described based on morphological and biogeographical evidence.
