Abstract
A survey of the Auchenorrhyncha (Insecta: Homoptera) associated with the Canary Island date palm Phoenix canariensis Hort. ex Chab., in southern Texas was conducted. Twenty-eight species were collected by various means: a yellow sticky trap, a trap consisting of a frond coated with a tacky material, vacuum samples, and visual collections. Myndus crudus Van Duzee, a suspected vector of lethal yellowing of coconut palms in Florida, was collected and is a new record for Texas. The most abundant species collected was Oliarus acicus Caldwell. Oliarus aridus Ball also was collected. All 3 species belong to the Family Cixiidae and are implicated as potential vectors of lethal yellowing of Canary Island date palms in Texas.
