    ABSTRACT

    The commercial production of papaya is severely impacted by diseases caused by phytoplasmas and viruses transmitted by insect vectors such as leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae). This study documents the first world record of the Empoasca pronaDavidson & DeLong, 1940, cicadellids species on papaya and increases the known geographic distribution of the only other leafhopper species that occurs on papaya in Brazil, Empoasca bordiaLanglitz, 1964. A complete list of leafhopper species that have been recorded on papaya in the world is also presented, including information on their geographic distribution and potential diseases they transmit to papaya.

    KEYWORDS:
    Carica papaya; Empoasca bordia; cicadellids; papaya disease vectors.
