Ribeiro et al. (2005) mentions a severe attack of spittlebug was observed in a plantation with eucalyptus, approximately seven years old, in September 2000, in Esplanada, State of Bahia, Brazil. Another occurrence of a spittlebug was found in December 2003 in sprouting of Eucalyptus urophylla approximately one and a half year old, in Aporá in the same State. Damage by the spittlebug C. siccifolius occurred in, practically, all trees. Branches and leaves were 99.3% deformed and its plants showed coriaceuos leaves, losses of leaves, callosity in plant extremities and sprouting in branches and trunks. Deformed branches and leaves are characteristic of attacks by spittlebugs on arboreal species, which can affect height growth due to the reduction on photosynthetic activity but it rarely causes tree death.
