Abstract

The chili for drying (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important crop in northern central Mexico where viral and bacterial diseases transmitted by leafhoppers are emerging; however, very little is known about the presence and composition of the populations of leafhoppers in the chili plots, therefore, the purpose of this work was to identify the genders of leafhoppers in the commercial chili parcels in the states of Aguascalientes, Durango and Zacatecas. Leafhoppers were captured through an entomological network in 57 commercial plots of the mentioned states. The 86% of the plots sampled were found. Individuals belonging to the genders Aceratagallia spp., Acinopterus spp., Balclutha spp., Carneocephala spp., Circulifer spp., Cuerna spp., Dalbulus spp., Draeculacephala spp., Empoasca spp., Exitianus spp., Graminella spp., Graphocephala spp., Hordnia spp., Ollerianus spp., Scaphytopius spp., Stirellus spp. and Texananus spp., were identified in the chili parcels.
