Sogatella nigeriensis (Muir, 1920) View in CoL

Megamelus nigeriensis Muir, 1920: 140 View in CoL ; Asche and Wilson, 1990: 13

Distribution. Occurs in Palaearctic and Afrotropical regions. MADEIRA: locality unknown ( Asche and Wilson, 1990). The material of Sogatella vibix and S. furcifera studied by Lindberg (1961) and deposited in the British Museum, was identified by Asche and Wilson (1990) as S. nigeriensis . Remarks. All material of Sogatella furcifera (Horváth, 1889) from Madeira reported by China (1938) and Lindberg (1961) and that of Sogatella vibix (Haupt, 1927) reported by Lindberg (1961) could correspond either to S. nigeriensis or S. kolophon Kirkaldy, 1906 (see Asche and Wilson, 1990). The presence of S. kolophon should be further confirmed.

Habitat and food plants. Unknown.
