Abstract

During August 2022, membracids were found on the aerial apical parts of amaltas (Cassia fistula L.) and cutch tree (Acacia catechu Willd). These were identified as Oxyrachis tarandus F. and Leptocentrus taurus F. (Hemiptera: Membracidae). These were observed to feed on the apical portions of stem, making them rough and woody and brown which gradually dried, and the apical leaves were shed off. This is the first report of A. catechu as a new host for L. taurus and C. fistula is an extended host for O. tarandus.
