Abstract: -Prosapia simulans (Walker) is an important spittlebug species that attacks forage grasses of the genus Brachiaria (Trin.) Griseb. from Mexico to Colombia. This, and several other species of spittlebugs, cause important economic losses to the livestock production industry. Development of resistant cultivars is regarded as the best method of control. In the present study we used taxonomic keys, dissection of male genitalia and RAPD-PCR patterns to reconfirm the identity of P. simulans specimens collected in Col… Show more

“…Molecular markers have been found very useful to identify species as well as to analyze the genetic distance and structure of populations (Castiglioni et al, 2005;Mikac and Clarke, 2006;de Oliveira et al, 2007;Castro et al, 2007). In less-studied species such as Mahanarva, the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique is a valuable molecular tool since it does not require previous DNA sequencing studies and since arbitrary primers are used (Ercan et al, 2004).…”

“…These species of grasshoppers have similarities in body size and alar pattern. These characteristics are related to phenotypic plasticity, which often makes it difficult to correctly identify species (CASTRO et al, 2007). For this, it is necessary to differentiate them using the male genitalia.…”

“…Por otra parte, aunque diferentes especies de salivazos actúan como herbívoros generalistas de algunas gramíneas, ciertas especies del género Clastoptera,sólo se registran en plantas ornamentales, como Juniperus chinensis L., y Juniperus virginiana L., en Estados Unidos y México (Wheeler, 1984;Castro et al, 2007) y en Casuarina equisetifolia (L.) Fort et Forst., en Costa Rica (Thompson, 1994(Thompson, , 1999Sánchez-Monge y Segura, 2006). Sin embargo, muy pocas especies actúan como herbívoros de árboles en estado natural.…”
