The cicada Meimuna mongolica (Distant) (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) is one of the most important pests of economic forest in Guanzhong Plain of Shaanxi Province, China. Information about ecological characteristics and some sustainable control measures of this species is urgently required for its control. In this study, nymphal instars, morphological variation, vertical distribution, and population density in soil, and emergence phenology of nymphs of M. mongolica on three main host plants (Pinus tabuliformis Carr., Populus tomentosa Carr., and Pyrus xerophila Yü) were studied, based on combined morphological and molecular identification, investigation of the first-instar nymphs hatched from eggs and others excavated from soil, and investigation of exuviae in the adult emergence period. Five nymphal instars of M. mongolica were redetermined according to the distribution plots of the head capsule widths of the nymphs. Nymphs of third and fourth instars showed morphological variation, which is closely related to host-plant association. The mean densities of nymphs in soil under the three host plants were significantly different, indicating a distinct host preference. The nymphs could extend their distribution from the 0–10 cm soil layer to the 51–60 cm soil layer underground but not beyond 60 cm soil layer under all the three host plants. The 21–30 cm soil layer under all the three host plants has the highest nymphal population density. The sex ratio of the entire population was nearly 50:50, but males dominated in the early half of the duration of the emergence. These ecological characteristics of M. mongolica could provide important information for sustainable control measures.

“…In this study, the males of M. mongolica that emerge before females and remain alive until females emerge were found to have the highest mating success. Protandry may be a useful strategy in attracting virgin females ( Logan et al. 2014 ), enhancing the mating success of individual males in M. mongolica.…”

“…Egg-nests laid in 'Hayward' canes were sourced from the Plant & Food Research orchard. Egg-nests were left in the canopy for nine months and collected in late November or December 2014 after eggs had hatched (Logan et al 2014). The cicada egg-nests were stored in the freezer until assessment took place following the method described above.…”

“…at the bottom of each tunnel, which we will refer to as an egg stack. Nymphs begin hatching from the end of May until late December in New Zealand (Logan et al 2014). After hatching from the chorion, the nymphs make their way through the tunnel, emerge from the nest and then drop to the ground to seek access to a root for feeding.…”

“…have an average fecundity of 278.5 eggs and have the potential to lay several egg-nests each, based on the average egg-nest size of 79.4 eggs (Logan et al 2014). The oviposition wound changes the structural integrity of the cane and cane breakage can occur at the site of the egg-nest when the canes are tied down in winter in preparation for the next growing season (Logan & Connolly 2005).…”

Chorus cicada Amphipsalta zelandica (Biosduval) is an endemic species of cicada that is a pest of kiwifruit Adult female cicadas cause damage to kiwifruit canes when egg laying The oviposition wound often stimulates the local formation of callus tissue in kiwifruit canes The effect of eggnest callusing on the proportion of eggs to hatch successfully was investigated as a potential plant resistance trait for selection The proportion of callus tissue covering the eggnest and the number of eggs hatched were measured from eggnests in canes of two kiwifruit cultivars Hayward and Zesy002 and stems of Hass avocado Eggnests with more callus tissue had reduced egg hatch in both cultivars of kiwifruit and avocado The host plant also affected egg hatch with significantly different hatch rates between the two kiwifruit cultivars and avocado at zero percent callusing
