福建主要茶区茶小绿叶蝉种名的存疑与鉴别

Changing the specific name of tea green leafhoppers in major tea plantations in Fujian Province,China

于2012和2013年在福建省闽北、闽南和闽中等茶区采集茶小绿叶蝉标本,同时结合2006-2008年在武夷山茶区采集的标本,进行物种形态鉴定.先后共鉴定514头雄性茶小绿叶蝉成虫,结果均为小贯小绿叶蝉,所有鉴定标本中未发现假眼小绿叶蝉.因此,笔者对福建省乃至全国各茶区的茶小绿叶蝉种名的归属问题提出质疑,并同意秦道正等(2014)提出的我国茶树小绿叶蝉种类仍需深入探究的观点,建议在全国各茶区展开大范围的茶小绿叶蝉种类调查.

In 2012 and 2013, we sampled tea green leailaoppers from south, central and north regions of the Fujian Province to de- termine which species were present and which one was dominant. In addition, samples of tea green leathopper collected from tea plantations of Wuyi Mountain during 2006, 2007 and 2008 were re-examined to determine their species identification. Our results showed that all 514 male adult leafhoppers identified in this study belonged to Empoasca onukii Matsuda （1952）. Hence, the spe- cies of tea green leafhopper in the mentioned tea plantations have great potential to be E. onukii, instead of E. vitis. Based on the a- bove results, We hypothesized that the dominant species of green leafhopper in most of tea plantations of Fujian Province, or, even a large part of China could belong to E. onukii. We agree with Qin et al （2014）, which suggested that further surveys should be done around the whole country to confirm the hypothesis.
