Discussion.
In
Japan
, this species has been collected on various host plants belonging to families Eriaceae,
Fagaceae
,
Cupressaceae
,
Pinaceae
, and
Cephalotaxaceae
, and nymphs were also observed on azalea (
Yasunaga 1999
). In this study, Korean

Wisteria floribunda
(Willd.) DC. (Fabaceae)
in summer and confirmed one generation per year in
