citrus flatid planthopper - Metcalfa pruinosa (Say) common name: citrus flatid planthopper (Say) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Flatidae) True to its name, the citrus flatid planthopper, (Say), is found on citrus, but also is found on a wide variety of woody plants, many of which are used in the ornamental trade. This planthopper seldom causes economic damage to most plants except to those weakened by some other factor such as freeze damage. The unsightly white, flocculent, waxy material made by the nymphs impairs the sales quality of affected plants, partly because buyers sometimes mistake these deposits for those of mealybugs or the cottony-cushion scale.
