Remarks. China (1938) recorded this species as Delphacodes striatella Fall. Later, Lindberg (1961) identified his own material published in 1941 and China’s material as Delphacodes striatella Fall .. but erroneously misplaced this species as a synonym of Calligypona marginata (Fabr.) . This latter species is a synonym of Javesella pellucida Fabricius, 1794 .

Habitat and food plants. Unknown.

Remarks. A vector of the rice stripe virus ( Lin et al., 1996)
