Young adults of Sogata orizicola Muir survived and oviposited as well on the wild diploid forms Oryza perennis var. cubensis (Moench), O. perennis var. barthii (Chevalier), and O. balunga Yeh and Henderson (=O. perennis var. balunga (Sampath and Govindaswami) as on the cultivated variety, O. sativa L. var. Nato. Newly emerged nymphs caged on these wild forms completed their development normally. The other eight species of Oryza and five species of grasses tested did not prove to be suitable hosts for S. orizicola in these greenhouse studies.
