Host plant ovipositional preferences and usage by Oecleus nolinus (Homoptera: Cixiidae). Fowler, H. G. & Whitford, W. G. The Southwestern Naturalist, 1985.
abstract   bibtex   
During May and June , 1979, we observed large numbers of O. nolinus at the Jornada Experimental Range, 60 km NNE of Las Cruces, Dona Ana Co., New Mexico. They used three plant species (Yucca baccata, Y. elata and Dasyliron wheeleri) as ovipostional sites. Dasyliron wheeleri is an apparent new host for O. nolinus. Townsend (Psyche 6:353-354, 1928) recorded an Oecleus, probably O. nolinus but recorded as O. decens, ovipositing on Yucca angustifolia (=Y. elata?) and Y. macrocarpa (=Y. baccata?) in southern New Mexico.
