“…Anyllis leiala is one of the most common and widespread aphrophorids found in Australia. It is commonly attracted to mercury-vapour lights and is frequently swept from a wide range of native, shrubby, dicotyledonous plants (Fletcher 2010;Liang and Fletcher 2003;Liang et al 2005). Morrow (1977) reported that A. leiala is associated with Eucalyptus pauciflora, Eucalyptus perriniana and Eucalyptus stellulata and Ohmart et al (1983) recorded the association of A. leiala with Eucalyptus delegatensis.…”

“…Frons ( Figures 1B,D,F,H,J,L, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B) strongly compressed and depressed laterally, narrow and keel-like medially or moderately bulbous in males, and usually swollen, not strongly compressed laterally in females. Antennae with flagellar base expanded and visible, bearing an apical, broadly conical process being next and parallel to the flagellar bristle and nine small coeloconic sensilla on ventral side (see Liang et al, 2005). Rostrum relatively long, nearly reaching hind coxae.…”

“…Among seven aphrophorid genera known in Australia, Anyllis is the only member of the relatively derived tribe Aphrophorini (Liang and Fletcher 2003). Before this study, three species, namely Anyllis leiala Kirkaldy, 1906, Anyllis tiegsi (China, 1952 and Anyllis spinostylus Liang, 2005, were previously recorded in the genus. The genus appears to be endemic to Australia.…”

“…This paper on the genus Anyllis Kirkaldy (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cercopoidea: Aphrophoridae) represents another in a continuing series of works emphasizing the taxonomy of the spittlebug fauna of Australia Fletcher 2002, 2003;Liang et al 2005;Liang et al 2012).…”

“…Liang and Fletcher (2003) placed Anyllis in the Aphrophoridae and synonymized Neoaphrophora China 1952 with Anyllis, but gave no tribal placement. Liang et al (2005) redefined the genus and placed it in the tribe Aphrophorini. Among seven aphrophorid genera known in Australia, Anyllis is the only member of the relatively derived tribe Aphrophorini (Liang and Fletcher 2003).…”

Insect‐plant‐fungus interactions in mycorrhizal associations, with a focus on spittlebugs and ectomycorrhizal host plants

Mycorrhizal plants mediate interactions between their root‐associated fungal symbionts and insect herbivores. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations tend to boost phloem sap sucking insects and host specialist chewing insects but depress host generalist chewing insects. In turn, insect herbivores have only small negative effects on the abundance of AM fungi. Ectomycorrhizal (EM) associations, less studied, have no consistent effect on phloem sap‐sucking or chewing insects, but their insect herbivores have strong negative effects on EM fungal abundance. Spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea) feed on xylem sap and are disproportionately associated with EM plants, probably because many EM fungi are especially well equipped to access nitrogen (N) from complex soil organic matter. Assimilated N is transported in host plant xylem sap as amino acids, the primary food source for xylem‐feeding insects. Although EM plants account for only 2% of all vascular plants, about 19% of spittlebugs have EM primary hosts. This compares to 9% of hosts that are rhizobial or actinorhizal N‐fixing plants, alternative modes of root‐associated N acquisition that also attract spittlebugs. Notable spittlebug EM host plants include Pinus and Abies (Pinaceae), Quercus, Alnus and Betula (Fagales), Salix (Salicaceae), Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) and the gymnosperm Gnetum (Gnetales). Some EM plants, including several Pinus species, host spittlebug pests and some play an important role in the ecology of spittlebug vectors of the bacterial plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa. The fossil record and dated molecular phylogenies suggest that spittlebugs initially evolved in parallel with EM Pinaceae.

The genus Jembra Metcalf and Horton comprises five species from Taiwan and China. In this paper, the fauna of the genus from Taiwan is reviewed and includes three species. Two new species, J. kuanae sp. nov. and J. taiwana sp. nov., are described, and J. inouyei Matsumura is redescribed. The fourth and fifth instar nymph of J. taiwana sp. nov. is described for the first time. A dichotomous key for the identification of the five species of Jembra is also presented.
