A new leafhopper species of the genus Anagonalia from India (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Cicadellinae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2020 A new leafhopper species, Anagonalia lapnanensis sp. nov., is described from Arunachal Pradesh, India. A morphological variant is also described which, is interpreted as belonging to the same species due to negligible divergence in the COI mtDNA gene ...

Functional anatomy of the sharpshooter precibarial valve supports its role in probing behaviors that control inoculation of Xylella fastidiosa [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe precibarial valve is a tiny structure in the functional foregut (cibarium and precibarium) of hemipteran insects. Piercing-sucking insects like hemipterans use straw-like mouth parts (stylets) to ingest fluid from plant vascular cells like phloem or ...

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Insects that feed on the xylem sap of vascular plants can transmit lethal bacterial pathogens; however, the mechanistic drivers of observed disparities in feeding and pathogen transmission efficiency remain unclear. Here, we used 3D imaging to digitally reconstruct the morphology of three xylem sap‐feeding insect vectors of plant pathogens, revealing ...

DC‐EPG assisted comparison of European spittlebugs and sharpshooters feeding behaviour on grapevine
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 3, Page 192-204, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Xylem‐feeding is apparently the only requirement making an insect a competent vector of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, an organism responsible for the devastation of the Southern Italian olive forest and nowadays considered one of the most feared threats to agriculture and landscape in Europe, including vineyards.

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 11, Page 4841-4849, November 2022., 2022 Acetamiprid was toxic against spittlebugs, whereas pyrethrin was not. Both compounds altered their feeding and reduced bacterium transmission under no‐choice conditions, but acetamiprid failed to affect transmission under free‐choice conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND Insecticides are essential, though controversial tools in modern pest management ...
