Box (1929) recorded this species in the area of Tabacal, Salta, highlighting its maximum abundance in wild grasses, extending its attacks to sugarcane fields. In different places of this locality, nymphs in all stages of development were found on the stems of soca sugar cane. However, the existence of a high number of specimens of this species breeding on the Cynodon dactylon in San Pedro de Jujuy and the large amount of grass associated with sugar cane crops, added to the preference for these pastures, would explain why sugar cane suffers only moderate attacks in this locality. Furthermore, emphasize a particular association of these cercopids with wild grasses that grow in sugarcane fields, a fact that allowed him to infer that the attack on sugar cane by this species, as well as by another cercopidae, Notozulia entreriana, is mainly due to the fact that there have been a large number of wild grass plants associated with that crop
