Abstract
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs of aedeagi and pygofer processes of some Cicadulina spp. are presented for the first time. They should assist in the identification of Cicadulina spp. by entomologists who are not trained in taxonomy, and who work in national research programmes in Africa without access to well-equipped libraries and reprint collections, that offer ready access to the original descriptions of Cicadulina spp. A number of national maize research programmes recently initiated studies on Cicadulina leafhopper biology, behaviour, ecology and mass rearing for resistance screening to streak virus and ail of them face the problem of species identification. This report summarizes widely scattered publications and provides new illustrative information to assist in the identification of Cicadulina spp. by national scientists in Africa.
