Abstract



The objective of this work was to identify a leafhopper species present in sweet potato in San José de las Lajas, Mayabeque province, Cuba. For this purpose, the specimens present on sweet potato leaves were collected, in the period from April to June 2015. The collected insects were cleared, mounted on slides, and observed under a Stemi 4 stereoscope and an Axiolab A1 microscope with monitor and coupled camera. Identification was done by using dicotomic keys. The leafhopper species determined was Empoasca fabae Harris. It is the first report of this species in sweet potato in Cuba.
