Cicadellids (Cicadellidae: Homoptera), or leafhoppers, are plant sap-feeding insects which suck the sap from plants using modified mouthpieces. Most species of Graphocephala genera are native to the Nearctic and neotropical realms (Wilson et al., 2009). According to Maramorosch (2012), six species from the genera Graphocephala are vectors of plant disease agents: G. atropunctata, G. confluens, G. cythura, G. hieroglyphica, G. fennahi and G. versuta. Only one of these species, G. fennahi, was found in the Palearctic region (Wilson et al., 2009), with the first observation of this species in 1928 in England and then Austria,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
