Nutrition and Pest species

All species are phytophagous, many occurring on various grasses, including cereal crop species. Some of these planthoppers are important pests, either simply due to feeding, or as vectors for plant pathogens. Examples include:

  • The rice brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål, 1854)
  • The white-backed planthopper (of rice), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth, 1899)
  • The sugarcane planthopper, Perkinsiella saccharicida Kirkaldy, 1903
