Abstract
During August 2022, membracids were found on the aerial apical parts of amaltas (Cassia fistula L.) and cutch tree (Acacia catechu Willd). These were identified as Oxyrachis tarandus F. and Leptocentrus taurus F. (Hemiptera: Membracidae). These were observed to feed on the apical portions of stem, making them rough and woody and brown which gradually dried, and the apical leaves were shed off. This is the first report of A. catechu as a new host for L. taurus and C. fistula is an extended host for O. tarandus.
2022 年 8 月期间,在旱金莲(Cassia fistula L.)和苦楝树(Acacia catechu Willd)的气生顶端部分发现了膜翅目昆虫,经鉴定为 Oxyrachis tarandus F 和 Leptocentrus taurus F(半翅目:膜翅目)。经鉴定,它们是 Oxyrachis tarandus F. 和 Leptocentrus taurus F. (半翅目:膜翅目)。据观察,这些害虫取食茎的顶端部分,使其变得粗糙、木质化和褐色,并逐渐干枯,顶端的叶片脱落。这是首次报告 A. catechu 是 L. taurus 的新宿主,而 C. fistula 是 O. tarandus 的扩展宿主。
