In this study, the authors collected 63 species, of which 15 species are only recorded in Vietnam, 2 described new to science, 8 distributed western north that is not found other regions, including: Eopycna indochinensis (Distant, 1913), Gaeana vitalisi Terpnosia rustica 1917), mesonotalis Semia majuscula Karenia hoanglienensis (Pham & Yang, 2012), Huechys tonkinensis 1917); and Scieroptera...

This study was conducted to determine the Cercopidae Leach, 1815 (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) fauna of Central and Southern Kuseyr Plateau (Hatay/Turkey). For this purpose, samples were collected with a net, hand tweezers from different habitats region in April-June 2014-2015. However, process evaluating samples, it found that Cercopis sanguinolenta (Scopoli, 1763) intermedia Kirschbaum, 1868 s...

Non-consumptive effects (NCEs) of predators are part of the complex interactions among insect natural enemies and prey. NCEs have been shown to significantly affect prey foraging and feeding. Leafhopper's (Auchenorrhyncha) lengthy phloem feeding bouts may play a role in pathogen transmission in vector species and also exposes them to predation risk. However, NCEs on leafhoppers have been scarce...

BACKGROUND Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) play important roles in insect olfaction. The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens Stål (Delphacidae, Auchenorrhyncha, Hemiptera) is one of the most important rice pests. Its monophagy (only feeding on rice), wing form (long and short wing) variation, and annual long distance migration (seeking for rice plants of high nutrition) imply that the o...

The green rice leafhopper, Nephotettix cincticeps, is a vascular bundle feeder that discharges watery and gelling saliva during the feeding process. To understand the potential functions of saliva for successful and safe feeding on host plants, we analyzed the complexity of proteinaceous components in the watery saliva of N. cincticeps. Salivary proteins were collected from a sucrose diet that ...
