| Abstract: |
Salivazo o mosca pinta aplica a varias especies de insectos de la familia Cercopidae, que constituyen una importante plaga de la caña de azúcar ( Saccharum sp.) en el trópico mexicano, las cuales suelen completar su ciclo de vida en otras plantas que se desarrollan como arvenses. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar las especies de mosca pinta y de arvenses hospederas de éstas, confinando 127 ninfas, de las que se colectaron 76 adultos, 51 de Aeneolamia contigua Walker, y 25 de Prosapia simulans Walker, localizadas en 13 especies de plantas arvenses. La mayor abundancia de especies de mosca pinta se encontró en Paspalum fasciculatum, Rottboellia cochinchinensis, y Pennisetum purpureum. Aeneolamia contigua se reporta por primera vez en Panicum laxum, Pennisetum setaceum y Urochloa fusca, y Prosapia simulans en U. fusca y Synedrella nodiflora, esta última es el primer registro de una planta que no es Poaceae. Spittlebug apply to more than one species of insects of the Cercopidae family, an important pest of sugarcane ( Saccharum sp.) plantations in the Mexican tropics, which typically complete their life cycle in other plants that grow like weeds. The aim of this research was to identify both spittlebugs and their host weed species by confining 127 nymphs on exclusions of wire and mesh; 76 adult spittlebugs were captured, 51 Aeneolamia contigua Walker and 25 Prosapia simulans Walker, in 13 species of weeds. The most abundant species was found in Paspalum fasciculatum, Rottboellia cochinchinensis, and Pennisetum purpureum. Aeneolamia contigua is reported for the first time in Panicum laxum, Pennisetum setaceum, and Urochloa fusca and Prosapia simulans in U. fusca and Synedrella nodiflora. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
