Countries: 8

Structure: La Face (1916) described and illustrated the development and metamorphosis of the male and female.
Biology: Borg (1932) reported it from Malta as "very common on both Islands on the common reed Arundo donax between the leaf-sheaths and the stem." Balachowsky (1935b) recorded this species as common on Arundo donax in the Barcelona region in Spain.
Economic Importance: Santas (1989) reported high level populations in Greece, which produce large quantities of honeydew, which is the source for honey production.
General Remarks: The original description by Buffa (1897) included description and illustration of first-instar nymph, second-instar male and female, male prepupa and pupa, adult female and male. Description and illustration of the adult female given by Leonardi (1920), Teague (1925) and by McConnell (1954).
