Espécies de cigarrinhas (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae) em pomares de citros da região de Bebedouro, SP, com descrição de uma espécie nova de Acrogonia Stål

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Sharpshooter leafhoppers (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae) in citrus groves of the area of Bebedouro, SP, with description of a new species of Acrogonia Stål. Sixteen species of Cicadellidae, subfamily Cicadellinae, were collected and identified: 11 of the tribe Cicadellini and five of the tribe Proconiini. The ten most common species, together with a new species, are characterized based on external morphology and male genitalia: Acrogonia citrina Young, 1977 and P. mollicella (Fowler, 1900). The leafhopper samples were collected in citrus groves and in adjacent habitats (woods, swamp, cultivable plain, spontaneous vegetation of the grove, coffee crop and sugarcane) at the counties of Bebedouro and Monte Azul Paulista and in the district of Turvínia. The collecting methods were: insect net, yellow sticky cards, portable suction trap and Malaise trap. Identification keys were elaborated for the 16 species. There is a great diversity of Cicadellinae species in the citric groves. In the three areas sampled, it was collected a larger number of species of the tribe Cicadellini than of the tribe Proconiini. In the Bebedouro area, the vector species of Xylella fastidiosa, A. citrina sp. nov., B. xanthophis, D. costalimai and O. facialis, were collected in the citrus groves and in all adjacent habitats.

Populational fluctuation of vectors of Xylella fastidiosa, wells in sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] varieties of northwest Paraná State, Brazil

“…All the sharpshooter removed were conserved in labeled acrylic bottles in 70% alcohol and stored at room temperature (Marucci, 1998).…”

Transmission Efficiency of Xylella fastidiosa by Sharpshooters (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Coffee and Citrus

“…The parts were stored in microvials with glycerin. The specimens were identified using descriptions provided by Schröeder (1959), Young (1968), Emmrich (1975Emmrich ( , 1984, Remes Lenicov et al (1999), and Marucci et al (2002). Data on Anacuerna centrolinea (Melichar) were obtained from the collection of the Staatliches Museum Für Naturkunde Stuttgart, Germany (SMNS).…”

Brochosomes-for-eggs of the Proconiini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae) species associated with orchards of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

“…Proconiini specimens were diagnosed by using a dichotomous key, descriptions and redescriptions (Schröder 1959;Young 1968;Emmrich 1975Emmrich , 1984Marucci et al 2002). Insects were drawn using a stereoscopic microscope equipped with a camera lucida.…”

“…The species mentioned earlier, as being both CVC vectors and producers of brochosomes-for-eggs, are: Acrogonia citrina Marucci & Cavichioli, Acrogonia virescens (Metcalf), Homalodisca ignorata Melichar and Oncometopia facialis (Signoret) (Almeida & Lopes 1999, Marucci et al 2002, Parra et al 2003.…”
