An ongoing study of the Auchenorrhyncha from the (former) Dutch Antilles revealed the presence of two species of the family Issidae, both from the Leeward Islands and belonging to the genus Cheiloceps Uhler, 1895. A new species, Cheiloceps statiensis sp. nov., is described from Sint Eustatius and another species, Cheiloceps laodice Fennah, 1955, is recorded from Saba for the first time.
