Insecta, Hemiptera, Cicadidae, Quesada gigas (Olivier, 1790), Fidicina mannifera (Fabricius, 1803), Dorisiana viridis (Olivier, 1790) and Dorisiana drewseni (Stål, 1854): first records for the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil [PDF]

Check List, 2010
No information is given for the distribution of Cicadidae in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, central Brazil. Thus, the present note reports the species Quesada gigas, Fidicina mannifera, Dorisiana viridis and D. drewseni for the first time in this state.

Anatomy of an agricultural antagonist: Feeding complex structure and function of three xylem sap‐feeding insects illuminated with synchrotron‐based 3D imaging

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 ...

Stable gullies provide a suitable habitat for functional insects and reduce the threat of pests on crops in farmland of Northeast China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study indicated that stable gullies with higher plant diversity provide the best habitat for functional insects rather than forest belts and grassland in the watershed, especially during busy farming activities. The vigorous growth stage was one key period for pest control, and gully as a source of BI can significantly regulate the pests in ...

Molecular phylogeny of Cercopidae (Hemiptera, Cercopoidea)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 494-516, September 2023., 2023
Abstract With 175 described genera and 1556 described species, Family Cercopidae is currently divided into two subfamilies: the paraphyletic Cercopinae and the monophyletic Ischnorhininae. This study, with emphasis on the family Cercopidae, is in line with the extensive work of Cryan and Svenson which is the first phylogenetic study testing the ...

Patterns of acoustic and morphometric variation in species of genus Tettigettalna (Hemiptera: Cicadidae): Sympatric populations show unexpected differences

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
Tettigettalna (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) is a genus of small sized cicadas occurring in south-western Europe, which consists of a complex of sibling species that are morphologically difficult to distinguish from each other but their calling songs can be used

Interaction Between Visual and Phonotactic Orientation During Flight in \u3ci\u3eMagicicada Cassini\u3c/i\u3e (Homoptera: Cicadidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Visual and phonotactic orientation often occur simultaneously in diurnal cicadas. and these animals generally have their largest sensory elaboration in eyes and hearing organs. Phonotactic orientation occurs principally during flight.

Spatial and ecological isolation in cicadas: First data from Tibicina (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) in France

European Journal of Entomology, 2002
The seven taxa of the cicada genus Tibicina (T.corsica corsica, T. corsica fairmairei, T. garricola, T. haematodes, T. nigronervosa, T. quadrisignata, T. tomentosa) which occur in continental France and Corsica were investigated.

Sensing of Substrate Vibrations in the Adult Cicada Okanagana rimosa (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) [PDF]

, 2018
Detection of substrate vibrations is an evolutionarily old sensory modality and is important for predator detection as well as for intraspecific communication. In insects, substrate vibrations are detected mainly by scolopidial (chordotonal) sense organs

Geography and History of Periodical Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in DuPage County, Illinois [PDF]

, 2018
The spatial distribution of periodical cicada (Magicicada septendecim L. and M. cassini Fisher) emergence in 2007 did not match either historical locations of woodlands or the cicadas’ own geography in the 19th and early 20th centuries in DuPage County ...
