Abstract
The specimens on which the record of the nogodinid planthopper Jamaha elevans (Walker, 1858) (Nogodinidae, Colpopterinae, Colpopterini) from Haiti published by Melichar (1902) was based were examined. These specimens were misidentified and belong to the flatid planthopper, Euhyloptera haitiana Fennah, 1965 (Flatidae, Flatinae, Selizini). Illustrations are provided for E. haitiana and the holotype of J. elevans. As far as is known, J. elevans is endemic to Jamaica.
