Abstract

Particular importance is given to the leafhoppers belonging to the sub-family Typhlocybinae- because they are the most numerous within the family Cicadellidae, and many of them are potential vectors of serious phytoplasmatic diseases. The presence of yellowish blotches and numerous micro-leafhopper on soursop (Annona muricata L.) leaves led to the conduction of this work to identify the leafhoppers occurring on soursop in the municipality Diez de Octubre, province of Havana. Leafhoppers on plants growing into private yards were sampled from April to June 2015. The collected insects were cleared, mounted on slides and observed under a stereomicroscope Stemi 4 and a microscope Axiolab. A1 with the monitor and camera attached using the lenses of 10X, 20X and 40X magnification. The characterization based on morphologic data and the dichotomous keys used allowed identifying the typhlocybino found as Empoasca insularis Oman, which constitutes the first report in Cuba.
