Abstract:
[Objectives]  To identify the empoascine species damaging kiwifruit in Meixian county, Shaanxi province and describe the polymorphism of the dominant species. [Methods]  A sweep net was used to collect specimens and a camera to take habitat photos in the field. Microscopes were used to observe morphological characters and main diagnostic features were photographed. [Results]  Three species were identified, Membranacea unijugata Qin & Zhang, 2011, Empoasca (Empoasca) hiromichi (Matsumura, 1931) and Empoasca (Empoasca) matsudai Dworakowska, 1972. A total of 685 specimens were collected, of which Membranacea unijugata accounted for 81.75% of all specimens and Empoasca (Empoasca) hiromichi and Empoasca (Empoasca) matsudai for 17.66% and 0.58%, respectively. The M. unijugata specimens included 88 dark-colored males and 472 light-colored individuals (13 males and 459 females). [Conclusion]  The dominant empoascine species damaging kiwifruit in Meixian county, Shaanxi province is M. unijugata, the adults of which are polymorphic. Further investigation is required to identify other empoascine species damaging kiwifruit in China.
