Conteúdo: 	Maize (Zea mays L.) is the only reproductive and feeding host plant of the corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (DeLong and Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Brazil and this insect is the only vector of the causal agents of corn stunting diseases in South America. The ability of D. maidis to survive on other plant species in the absence of their host plant is an area of speculation. This study observed the ability of D. maidis to use other plant species as overwintering or shelter plants during the maize off-season in central Brazil. This study was carried out in the Embrapa Cerrados (Planaltina/DF, Brazil) experimental field in August 2017, August 2018, and September 2018, during which maize plants were not present in the field. In these months, several plant species present in the field were sampled using an entomological net. Samples of D. maidis collected were sorted out in the laboratory, identified by sex, and counted. Twenty-nine plant species belonging to nine botanical families were sampled. In all, a total of 146 D. maidis adults were collected from 17 plant species which include, 64 in August 2017, 67 in August 2018, and 15 in September 2018. Approximately 93% of these collections were made on plants of the Poaceae family. The number of D. maidis females collected were higher than the number of males in all the sampling periods. This study therefore, suggest that during the maize off-season, part of the D. maidis population can survive and shelter on other plants of the Poaceae family.
