The genus Myndus (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) in the solomon islands and Vanuatu and its relation to foliar decay of coconut palms in Vanuatu
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Abstract
The species of the cixiid genus Myndus occurring in the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu are reviewed. M. macfarlanei sp. n. is described from Santa Cruz Islands. It is distinguished from M. mavors Fennah and M. taffini Bonfils, both of which are redescribed and illustrated. All species have been collected from coconut palms, and M. macfarlanei also from areca palm (Areca catechu). M. taffini has been previously confirmed as the vector of foliar decay of coconut palms in Vanuatu.
