Anew leafhopper species, Scaris angrensis sp.nov., is described and illustrated based on an adult male from Angra dos Reis, State of Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. The holotype is deposited in the entomological collection of Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The new species seems to be more closely related to S. bahiensis because of its single ventral process on the aedeagal base, being distinguished from that by the apical shape of the stylus. A problem related to the illustrations in the original description of S. nessimiani and S. bahiensis is herein corrected<br>Se describe e ilustra un nuevo cicadélido, Scaris angrensis sp.nov., basado en un macho adulto de Angra dos Reis, litoral sur del Estado de Rio de Janeiro.

La nueva especie parece estar relacionada más estrechamente con S. bahiensis debido a su "proceso" ventral en la base del edeago, difiriendo en la forma del ápice del estilo.
