Diet and Pest species
All species are phytophagous, many occurring on various grasses. Some species are significant pests and important vectors for cereal pathogens; for example:
- The rice brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål)
- The white-backed planthopper (rice), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth, 1899)
- The sugarcane planthopper, Perkinsiella saccharicida Kirkaldy, 1903
