Binomial Name:  Hysteroneura setariae (Thomas, 1878)

It is known from Yemen, and has also been recorded feeding on sorghum and other millets in the United States.[2] In temperate North America Hysteroneura setariae host alternates from domestic plum (Prunus domestica) to many species of grasses (Poaceae) and sedges (Cyperaceae). In warmer parts of the world (Australia, Africa, India, China, South America) the rusty plum aphid is anholocyclic on grasses, sedges and on seedlings of oil palms and coconuts (Arecaceae). They commonly feed at the bases of the spikelets or sometimes on the leaves or unripe seeds (see pictures above). The rusty plum aphid is often attended by ants (see second picture above). For example three species of ants (Camponotus navigator, Tapinoma melanocephalus, Technomyrmex albipes) are known to tend Hysteroneura on the Pacific Islands of Palau (Idechil et al., 2007). Hysteroneura setariae was introduced from North America to North Africa in the 1940s, from where it spread to most of the warmer parts of the world. Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia [7]. Infestation of Hysteroneura setariae, the rusty plum aphid, was reported for the first time from Phulbani in Kandhamal district located in the North-Eastern Ghat zone of Orissa, India during 2008–09.

প্রাপ্তবয়স্কঃ Adult apterae of Hysteroneura setariae (see first picture below) are dark chocolate brown, usually with a slight olive tint. The antennae have segments I, II, V and VI dark brown, and segments III to IV shading from yellowish white to brown (cf. Rhopalosiphum and Schizaphis spp., which usually have antennal segment IV completely pigmented). The antennal terminal process is 5.0-6.3 times the length of the base of antennal segment VI. The apical rostral segment (RIV+V) is 0.9-1.5 times the length of the second hind tarsal segment (HTII). The femora are mostly dark, but pale at the base; the tibiae are mostly pale, but dark distally. The siphunculi are black and slightly swollen on the basal half; they are 0.8-2.5 times the caudl length. The cauda is long and very pale, with only 4 hairs. The body length of adult Hysteroneura setariae apterae is 1.3-2.1 mm.

Foliar-dwelling aphids aggregate on plant tillers and panicles to remove plant sap and produce honeydew. Aphids are only locally important: in general, they are not considered major pests. However, populations can explode even more quickly than most other insect groups because all the offspring are females that, when born, are ready themselves to give birth in less than a week. Aphids passively disperse long distances during the day, borne by the wind. The winged female colonizes the crop ( Fig. 236 ) and rapidly gives birth to numerous offspring ( Fig. 237 ). Males are rare and mating is not necessary to produce a new generation as unfertilized eggs produce female offspring. Aphid populations are common in wild rice. No rice virus diseases are known to be transmitted by aphids in Asia.

Hysteroneura setariae is a pest of rice, wheat, sugar cane, maize and soybean. Moderate infestations of rice result in brown necrotic spots on the grains. Heavy infestations result in empty grains, and turn all spikelets brown and chaffy. Severe damage has been reported from Sierra Leone, India and Nigeria (Nasruddin, 2013). It is also a minor pest of peaches in the USA [1].

A study found that Eleusine indica (Poaceae) among the grass species tested. Results indicated that a banker plant system using H. setariae could be used without negative effect on vegetable crops to sustain lady beetle populations and also reduce A. gossypii numbers [5].

It has been found in study that C. septempunctata is a beneficial predator, M. capillaris could be used as a banker plant in agricultural fields as well as in urban green spaces [8].
