It is one of the most important pasture pests in several Brazilian states. Damaged caused by this insect reduces plant growth, lowering the stocking rates of the pastures. Although nymphal feeding may result in some damage, major damage, however, is caused by the adult spittlebugs. Toxic saliva injected during adult feeding interferes with photosynthetic activity, creating, at fi rst, chlorotic and then, necrotic lesions that spread longitudinally on the leaf (Paladini et al.2008)
