Siphanta is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae.
Description
In adults of Siphanta, the
mesonotum is also flat medially (occasionally with a faint median carina) and has two lateral carinae. The forewing (tegmen) is triangular, lacks apical lines and has a sutural angle that ranges from obtusely rounded to slightly acute. The tibia of the hind leg bears one spine.[2]
Diet
Like other planthoppers, Siphanta are
polyphagous, meaning it feeds on a wide range of plants. It is a pest of banana, citrus, coffee, guava, macadamia and various ornamental plants. Siphanta gregaria feeds on Cordia cylindrostachya.[3]
Distribution
Most species in this genus occur in Australia, with the exception of S. expatria from New Guinea. Siphanta acuta and S. patruelis have been introduced to other countries.[2]
