“…Sorghum sudanense originated from the Old World and cannot therefore be an original host-plant, while the remaining species may be classed as either (i) or (ii), or unknown for want of fuller data. Thus Saccharosydne saccharivora falls in line with the other New World species of Saccharosydne which breed almost exclusively on indigenous grasses (Guagliumi, 1953;Muir, 1926a;Osborn, 1926a). The change in status of S. saccharivora with the adoption of sugar-cane as a hostplant is typical of the origin of sugar-cane pests (Pemberton & Williams, 1969), and seems to have occurred to a greater or less extent in all parts of its range.…”

An account is given of laboratory studies and field observations in Jamaica and British Honduras on the host-plants, life-history and habits of Saccharosydne saccharivora (Westw.), a major pest of sugar-cane. The original host-plants of S. saccharivora are shown to be two species of grasses, Andropogon glomeratus and A. bicornis. The immature stages of S. saccharivora are described and illustrated; the five nymphal instars may most easily be distinguished by their increasing size, the differentiation of the wing buds and the increasing spinosity of the metathoracic tibia and tarsus. Daily records of individuals of S. saccharivora show the duration of the different stages on fertilised plant cane at c. 80°F to be as follows: egg, 15–19 days; instar 1, 6–7 days; instars 2, 3 and 4, each 4–5 days; instar 5, 6–7 days; adult male, about one week; adult female, up to four weeks. The complete life-cycle took 6½–7 weeks, but was slower on unfertilised ratoon cane. In describing the habits of S. saccharivora, particular attention is given to feeding (feeding probes reach the bundle sheath cells and phloem of the lamina), oviposition (young leaves are the preferred oviposition site) and migration (immigration of adults on to young cane occurred at all times of year).

In the General Catalogue of the Homoptera are listed 64 genera and 310 species of Deltocephalinae, from the Neotropical region, arranged into 10 tribes (genera and species, respecively): Acinopterini = 3, 50; Athysanini = 21, 136; Cicadulini = 1, 1; Colladonini = 12, 49; Deltocephalini = 5, 10; Euscelini = 5, 17; Fieberiellini = 3, 3; Scaphoideini = 7, 19; Synophropsini = 2, 4; Thamnotettixini = 5, 22. There after many papers on Neotropical Deltocphalinae have been published dealing with classification, nomenclatural alterations, descriptions of new taxa and geographical distribution.
