Extract

Recent records show the distribution of Empoasca devastans Dist. extends further to the east (to East Pakistan, Thailand and New Britain) than had been recorded formerly, and approaches that of E. terraeregine Paoli, which is restricted to Queensland. Figures of the male genitalia are provided, by which the two species may be separated.
