Abstract

Preliminary observations on the membracids of the Tiputini Biodiversity Station, Amazonian Ecuador, are reported (i.e. habitat preferences, group sizes, sociality, plant preferences for feeding, ethological details and nesting behavior). The number of genera listed as occurring in the country of Ecuador is increased by thirteen.
