Siphanta Roseicincta
''Siphanta'' is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae. Description In adults of ''Siphanta'', the frons is slightly convex to flat, has a median longitudinal carina and either lacks lateral carinae or these are very short. The vertex meets the frons at a carinate margin. The pronotum is flat medially and has lateral carinae that curve posterolaterally and do not reach the posterior margin. The posterior margin of the pronotum is broadly concave. The mesonotum is also flat medially (occasionally with a faint median carina) and has two lateral carinae. The forewing (tegmen) is triangular, lacks apical lines and has a sutural angle that ranges from obtusely rounded to slightly acute. The tibia of the hind leg bears one spine. Diet Like other planthoppers, ''Siphanta'' are herbivores. ''Siphanta acuta'' is polyphagous, meaning it feeds on a wide range of plants. It is a pest of banana, citrus, coffee, guava, macadamia and various ornamental plants. ''Siphanta gregaria'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
