갈색날개매미충(노린재목: 꽃매미상과)은 한반도 침입해충 중 하나이다. 하지만, 그동안 정확한 종 동정이 되지않아, 분류학적으로 또는 농업적으로 혼선을 야기시키는 문제가 발생하였다. 이번 연구에서는 한반도에서 발생된 표본들의 관찰을 통하여 이 종의 학명을 Ricania sublimata로 확인하였다. 또한 한국산 큰날개매미충속에 대한 검색표를 제공한다.

This study was carried out to confirm the predatory and developmental features of N. stenoferus. We determine the host range of N. stenoferus. As a result, it was confirmed that Aphis gssypii, Myzus persicae, Planococcus citri, and Frankliniella occidentalis. N. stenoferus is thought to be able to feed on other micro pests. The test for a developmental period of N. stenoferus at 25℃ showed that the egg period was about 10 days. The nymphal period was about 18 days. Each nymphal period from 1st instar to 3rd instar nymphs was about 3 days. And the nymphal period of 4th and 5th were about 3.5 and 6 days, respectively. The female adult laid eggs in stem tissue or on leaves, and sometimes on the soaked cotton for water supply.

Delphacidae is the most diverse group in the Superfamily Fulgoroidea (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Fulgoromorpha) with more than 2000 reported species worldwide. This group is commonly called planthoppers, because most members are grass-feeding species. Some members are known as vectors of economically important plant viruses, and damage to several crops in many countries. Stenocranus is one of the biggest groups in the Delphacidae. In Korea, there have been eight recorded species. In this presentation, we present taxonomic review of the Stenocranus with a new record in Korea. Morphological characters and key to Korean species are presented.
