Conteúdo: 	Prosapia distanti (Lall.) is a pest on kikuyugrass, Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst, in Costa Rica, Various densities of adult spittlebugs were caged on kikuyugrass in the greenhouse to determine the effect of their feeding on the grass. The nutritive value of the gras was not significantly affected in this experiment, as was originally hypothesized. Possible explanation are discussed. Feeding by adults did greatly reduce the moisture content of the grass. Field observations indicated that spittlebug injury inhibited the growth and appeared to decrease the palatability of kikuyugrass.
