ABSTRACT
The planthoppers (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) associated with rice ecosystem in different areas of Dumki Upazilla in Patuakhali were studied during October 2013 to April 2014 to identify the species. Results revealed that 4 planthopper species, Nisia nervosa (Motschulsky, 1863), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål, 1854), Sogatella furcifera (Horváth, 1899), Sardia rostrata (Wilson & Claridge, 1991) were recognized from the above area. Among them two planthoppers (N. nervosa and S. rostrata) were newly recorded from Bangladesh. All species of planthoppers were redescribed with male genitalia and proper illustrations.
Keywords: Planthopper, rice, species, taxonomic key, male genitalia.
