CATALANO, María Inés; PARADELL, Susana L  and  MARINO DE REMES LENICOV, Ana M. Biological and taxonomic considerations on edwardsiana froggatti (baker), the apple yellow leafhopper (hemiptera-auchenorrhyncha-cicadellidae). INCI [online]. 2009, vol.34, n.6, pp.424-427. ISSN 0378-1844.

Edwardsiana froggatti (Baker, 1925) is a widely distributed species that causes severe damage in fruit growing areas. In this contribution, based on materials from the major apple-producing areas of Argentina, its morphological characteristics are re-described and new diagnostic elements of both sexes are considered. Additional information on taxonomic history, geographic distribution, biological data and natural enemies is also included.
