Abstract

ABSTRACT: It is impractical to rear tree-feeding Hemiptera in the laboratory, but host-associations can be discovered if adults and immatures are found feeding together on their plant. However, solitary tree-feeding nymphs must be observed closely in the field to capture the adult upon emergence and thus learn the species identity. A spittle bug, Sphodroscarta Stål, 1869 belonging to the gigas group (Hemiptera: Cercopoidea: Aphrophoridae) was reared in the field by monitoring a nymph in a spittle nest on Ficus maxima Miller, 1768 (Moraceae) and obtaining the adult in Arraiján, Republic of Panama. Dates, a 132-day timeline, and photographs are provided.

巴拿马野外饲养的大榕树(桑科)为飞虫(半翅目:飞虫总科:飞虫科)寄主植物的证实

摘要：在实验室里饲养以树为食的半翅目昆虫是不切实际的，但如果发现成虫和幼蜂一起在它们的植物上觅食，就可以发现寄主的关联。然而，必须在野外密切观察以树为食的孤独若虫，以便在出现时捕捉成虫，从而了解物种身份。1869年，一只属于巨型昆虫群（半翅目：Cercopoidea：Aphrophoridae）的唾沫虫Sphodroscarta Stål在野外饲养，方法是在1768年（莫拉科）的Ficus maxima Miller的唾沫巢中监测一只若虫，并在巴拿马共和国的Arraiján获得成虫。提供了日期、132天的时间线和照片。
