Psyllids are sap-sucking insects commonly called Jumping plant lice. Many psyllid species of Cameroon remain not described. Recent field works carried out in some localities of Cameroon, permitted to collect a non described psyllid species Colophorina baphiopsis sp. nov. associated with Baphiopsis parvifolia a valuable timber tree. The aim of this survey was to describe and identify psyllid of B. parvifolia which is a contribution of the study of psyllid biodiversity of Cameroon fauna. The psyllid induces damages on the host plant, such as rolling and distortion of leaves and stunted growth of buds. The diagnostic characters of Colophorina baphiopsis are: the fifth instar immature with 1+1 pointed sectasetae on terminal abdominal margin; anus in terminal position, circumanal consisting of a single row of pores; additional pore fields developed, convulted, extending much onto abdominal dorsum and consisting of a single row of wax pores; adult genal processes short and broad with divergent relatively pointed apices; forewing pattern in which surface covered by large brown band with light white area; Female terminalia with triangular proctiger ending by rounded large apex, circumanal ring ovoidal with two rows of elongate pores, subgenital plate triangular with broad proximal part and the third apical part tapering with pointed apex. According to above discriminative characters and comparison with previously described species, Colophorina baphiopsis, can be considered as new afrotropical psyllid species in Colophorina genus.
