In this suborder there are aquatic, semi-aquatic, and terrestrial species, some of which are important agricultural and silvicultural pests. During 2006-2007, in the course of faunistic survey of Heteroptera in Shend Abad region and environ (Located in East Azarbayjan in Iran), 46 species belonging to 15 families were collected and identified. All species are first records from the region. Keywords: faunistic; first record; Heteroptera; plant product; Shend Abad Introduction Members of the suborder Heteroptera are known as true bugs. The front wings, called hemelytra, are leathery in basal half and membranous in apical half. These insects also have elongate, piercing-sucking mouthparts which arise from the ventral (hypognathous) or anterior (prognathous) part of the head capsule (Borror et al, 1989). Economic importance of the suborder is due to diverse feeding aspects: there are many species that feed on plant and are serious pest (Safavi, 1973). The damage caused by the insects is a result of sucking sap from food plants, is often increased by the salivary enzymes, which may considerably alter the quality of plant products such as the baking quality of wheat, Other species are known as beneficial species catch other insects and Acarina (Linnavuori & Hosseini, 2000), and finally there are species that feed on blood and may transmit human disease (Chagas disease is transmitted to humans by assassin bugs, family Reduviidae). The suborder is classified in seven infraorders based on characters of antennae, rostrum, legs, wings, male genitalia and pygophor. True bugs have simple development and their reproduction is bisexual. Heteroptera hibernate as adult (Borror et al, 1989). Fauna of Heteroptera of East Azarbayjan is insufficiently researched. Baroughi and Modares Awal have studied on few localities in this province previously. Material and methods Research of the Heteroptera was performed in the period of 2006 to 2007. Samples have been taken from 52 localities in the region.Collecting of material was performed during whole year (Figure 1 and Table 1). Collecting of material was performed during whole year (Figure 1 and Table 1). The visible specimens that weren't very swift trapped by hand but small species collected by aspirator, some of the bugs are collected by sweep net from weeds and some of them by light trap that attracted insects fell down into poisonous bottle under it. The specimens were put into jars filled with 70% alcohol. All collected specimens were mounted. The structure of the male genitalia is often the only reliable way for distinguishing the species. For examining the genitalia, the genital segment removed boiled in % 10 KOH solution for 15-40 minutes, washed in distilled water, and then put in a drop of glycerin on a microscope slide (Modarres Awal, 1997). In this study, 46 specimens belonging to 15 families were identified. Intl. J. Agron. Plant. Prod. Vol., 4 (7), 1440-1446, 2013 All samples are housed in Entomological collection of Plant Protection, College Agriculture, Tabriz University.

The presence of the hyperoccipital carina, convex frons, absence of notauli, and elongate postmarginal vein (longer than the stigmal vein) in the fore wing are characteristics delimiting the gonopsidis-group. These species differ from the flavipes- group only in the lack of notauli. Kozlov and Kononova placed three species in the gonopsidis-group: T. mentha Kozlov and Lê, T. gonopsidis (Watanabe), and T. elasmuchae (Watanabe). In a taxonomic study of the Trissolcus species of Korea and Japan, Ryu and Hirashima (1984) reported three other species with characteristics of the gonopsidis-group: T. nigripedius (Nakagawa), T. itoi Ryu and T. yamagishi Ryu. Most of these species are known only from Japan or Korea. Trissolcus elasmuchae has been observed in Ukraine and Russia as well as Japan, and T.

Biota Neotropica 20(4): e20201045. https://doi.org/10.1590/1676-0611-BN-2020-1045 Abstract: Pentatomidae comprises a diverse group of stink bugs widely distributed in the Neotropical region. Many species are phytophagous and cause injuries to plants, and can thus be defined as agricultural pests. In this study, the anatomy of the female and male reproductive tracts of three important agricultural pests in Colombia is described: Piezodorus guildinii Westwood, 1837 and Chinavia ubica Rolston 1983, found on soybeans, and Oebalus insularis Stål, 1872, found in rice crops. For that, light microscopy techniques were used. The anatomy of the reproductive tract of sexually mature males of the three species studied consisted of a pair of testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory bulb, an ejaculatory duct that opens into an aedeagus, and paired accessory glands.

  • Discrimination Between Eggs from Stink Bugs Species in Europe Using MALDI-TOF MS
    insects Article Discrimination between Eggs from Stink Bugs Species in Europe Using MALDI-TOF MS Michael A. Reeve 1,* and Tim Haye 2 1 CABI, Bakeham Lane, Egham, Surrey TW20 9TY, UK 2 CABI, Rue des Grillons 1, CH-2800 Delémont, Switzerland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Recent globalization of trade and travel has led to the introduction of exotic insects into Europe, including the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys)—a highly polyphagous pest with more than 200 host plants, including many agricultural crops. Unfortunately, farmers and crop-protection advisers finding egg masses of stink bugs during crop scouting frequently struggle to identify correctly the species based on their egg masses, and easily confuse eggs of the invasive H. halys with those of other (native) species. To this end, we have investigated using matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for rapid, fieldwork-compatible, and low-reagent-cost discrimination between the eggs of native and exotic stink bugs. Abstract: In the current paper, we used a method based on stink bug egg-protein immobilization on filter paper by drying, followed by post-(storage and shipping) extraction in acidified acetonitrile containing matrix, to discriminate between nine different species using MALDI-TOF MS. We obtained 87 correct species-identifications in 87 blind tests using this method. With further processing of the unblinded data, the highest average Bruker score for each tested species was that of the cognate Citation: Reeve, M.A.; Haye, T. reference species, and the observed differences in average Bruker scores were generally large and the Discrimination between Eggs from errors small except for Capocoris fuscispinus, Dolycoris baccarum, and Graphosoma italicum, where the Stink Bugs Species in Europe Using average scores were lower and the errors higher relative to the remaining comparisons.

  • Chemical Analysis of the Metathoracic Scent Gland of Eurygaster Maura (L.) (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae)
    J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2019) Vol. 21(6): 1473-1484 Chemical Analysis of the Metathoracic Scent Gland of Eurygaster maura (L.) (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) E. Ogur1, and C. Tuncer2 ABSTRACT Eurygaster maura (L.) (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) is one of the most devastating pests of wheat in Turkey. The metathoracic scent gland secretions of male and female E. maura were analyzed separately by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Twelve chemical compounds, namely, Octane, n-Undecane, n-Dodecane, n-Tridecane, (E)-2-Hexenal , (E)- 2-Hexen-1-ol, acetate, Cyclopropane, 1-ethyl-2-heptyl, Hexadecane, (E)-3-Octen-1-ol, acetate, (E)-5-Decen-1-ol, acetate, 2-Hexenoic acid, Butyric acid, and Tridecyl ester were detected in both males and females. These compounds, however, differed quantitatively between the sexes. In both females and males, n-Tridecane and (E)-2-Hexanal were the most abundant compounds and constituted approximately 90% of the total content. Minimal amounts of Octane were detected in males and Hexadecane in females. Keywords: (E)-2-Hexenal, GC-MS, Metathoracic scent gland, n-Tridecane, Wheat. INTRODUCTION 100% in the absence of control measures (Lodos, 1986; Özbek and Hayat, 2003).

This new species was named genus Apodiphus with addition and transfer of species as A. metallicus because only species of Apodiphus from different regions such as Distant (1902) keyed having metallic color and spermathecal bulb with four genus Apodiphus (Spinola1837) in his catalogue from processes and one bifid.

The contents of each chapter generally reflect the special interests of the contributors. Some have presented a detailed taxonomic review of the families concerned; some have referred the readers to standard taxonomic works, in view of the breadth and complexity of the subject concerned, and have concentrated on ecological or physiological aspects; others have chosen to review insects of a specific set of habitats.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.
