D. Mariau (1998)
Hemiptera (Insecta) on oil palm and coconut
Insect Science and its Application 18 (4), 269-277
Abstract: A wide variety of Hemiptera species are found on the leaves of palms in humid tropical zones. Many of them are highly polyphagous, and generally once adult, only accidentally end up on palm leaves, on which they can nevertheless feed. Other hemipterans spend the whole of their development cycle on palms, and some seem to live on palms alone. Most of the Hemiptera have no economic impact on their hosts, since their population levels are rarely high enough to cause significant damage. However, some Heteroptera: Coreoidea and Homoptera: Coccoidea species can be very damaging primary pests. Others, amongst the Homoptera: Fulgoroidea, Cicadelloidea and Heteroptera: Pentatomoidea, transmit serious diseases that have decimated oil palm and coconut plantations; for example coconut lethal yellowing in Africa and the Caribbean, and oil palm and coconut trypanosome diseases in Latin America. Lastly, some Heteroptera: Pentatomoidea and Reduvioidea species are natural enemies of lepidopteran caterpillars.
