Macrostelini is a Tribe (biology), tribe in the Deltocephalinae subfamily of leafhoppers. Macrostelini contains 37 genera and over 300 species. The tribe has a cosmopolitan distribution. Some species in the genus ''Cicadulina'' are agricultural pests and transmit maize streak virus in Sub-saharan Africa.

Cicadulina
''Cicadulina'' is a leafhopper genus in the tribe Macrostelini. ''Cicadulina'' species are vectors of the maize streak virus Maize streak virus (MSV) is a virus primarily known for causing maize streak disease (MSD) in its major host, and which also infects over 80 wild and domesticated grasses. It is an insect-transmitted pathogen of maize in the genus ''Mastrevirus' ..., a disease which is a sporadic but severe in sub-Saharan Africa. The cause is a geminivirus which is persistently transmitted by ''Cicadulina'' leafhoppers. The disease is also transmitted to '' Urochloa panicoides'', a fodder grass originating in Southern Africa. The maize orange leafhopper '' Cicadulina bipunctata'' has been reported to induce gall-like structures on maize in Japan.Recent Outbreaks of the Maize Orange Leafhopper Cicadulina bipunctata Inducing Gall-like Structures on Maize in Japan.

Balclutha (leafhopper)
''Balclutha'' is a genus of leafhopper Leafhopper is the common name for any species from the family (biology), family Cicadellidae: based on the type genus ''Cicadella''. These minute insects, colloquially known as hoppers, are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or ... that feed on grasses. They have a cosmopolitan distribution with over 100 species. The species feed primarily on grasses and sedges and can shift into cereal crops causing some economic damage especially by transferring plant viruses. The genus is named after Balclutha in Scotland. The genus ''Balclutha'' is small 2-4 mm long and has the head almost as wide as pronotum. The anterior margin of the head is rounded when viewed from above. The species can only be distinguished on the basis of male genitalia. Species in the genus include: * '' Balclutha abdominalis'' * '' Balclutha alata'' * '' Balclutha alstoni'' * '' Balclutha apicula'' * '' Balclutha arctica'' * '' Balclutha arhenana'' ...

Cortona
Cortona (, ) is a town and ''comune'' in the province of Arezzo, in Tuscany, Italy. It is the main cultural and artistic centre of the Val di Chiana after Arezzo. Toponymy Cortona is derived from Latin CortΕna, and from Etruscan language, Etruscan ππππππ (''curtun'', ππππππ in Etruscan). According to linguist Helmut Rix, ethnic in Etruscan was ''curthute'' (''curΡ³ute''), attested as a gentile in an inscription from Chiusi, in the province of Siena. History Etruscan period An Etruscan civilization, Etruscan presence is found archaeologically from the late Villanovan while there is no such evidence of an Umbrian origin of the city. Between the 8th and 7th centuries BC it became an important member of the Etruscan League or a ''lucumonia''. Most likely, Cortona became a very powerful city thanks to its strategic position, which allowed a wide control of nearby territory. In the 4th century BC the Etruscans built the imposing walls that su ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
