''Eumetopina flavipes'', the island sugarcane planthopper, is a species of planthopper present throughout South East Asia. ''E. flavipes'' is a vector for Ramu stunt disease, a plant disease which affects sugarcane. Ramu stunt disease is widespread throughout Papua New Guinea, but has not been detected in Australia. ''Eumetopina'' is thought to have evolved in Papua New Guinea, where up to four undescribed species have been collected, but many more may be present. In Papua New Guinea, ''E. flavipes'' occurs on ''Saccharum officinarum'', ''S. robustum'', ''S. edule'' and ''Saccharum'' hybrids sugarcane. Virus-free populations of ''E. flavipes'' are present on ''Saccharum'' hybrids and ''S. officinarum'' on many islands in the Torres Strait, and a number of small populations persist on the northern Cape York Peninsula - the very tip of Queensland, mainland Australia. ==External links== *(Latest research publication ) *(Sugar Cane Abstracts ) *(Species profile ) *(Current research ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eumetopina flavipes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
