In this study we present 18 species of Pentatomidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) collected from 10 natural reserves of Iaşi County (Romania), from 2009 to 2013, of which 14 species were mentioned in Iaşi County in prior studies. The species Sciocoris homalonotus (Fieber 1851) is rare for Romania, being cited in the South of the country. The species Neottiglossa leporina (Herrich-Schaeffer 1830) and Eysarcoris ventralis (Westwood 1837) were found as new species for the north-eastern region of Romania. Eurydema dominulus (Scopoli 1763) is mentioned for the first time in Iaşi County. This study adds 4 more species for Iaşi County to the original number of 23 species previously mentioned in the literature.

  • Liste Commentée Des Pentatomoidea De La Manche
    Liste commentée des Pentatomoidea de la Manche Deuxième partie : les Pentatominae Cet article constitue donc le deuxième volet de l’inventaire provisoire des pentatomoïdes de la Manche. Le premier, rappelons-le, paru dans L’Argiope 73 (LIVORY , 2011) traitait les Acanthosomatidae, les Cydnidae, les Thyreocoridae, les Scutelleridae et deux sous-familles de Pentatomidae, les Podopinae et les Asopinae. Nous terminons ce recensement avec la sous-famille des Pentatominae. Avant de poursuivre notre énumération, je voudrais rendre hommage à Jean PÉRI C ART (1928-2011) qui nous a quittés l’année passée. Cet éminent entomologiste avait rédigé la plupart des ouvrages de la Faune de France consacrés aux punaises, soit comme auteur unique soit en tant que co-auteur. Les travaux de PÉRI C ART sur les hétéroptères ont une valeur immense et une portée internationale. Les volumes sur les pentatomoïdes étaient en cours de parution et sur les cinq prévus, seuls deux actuellement ont vu le jour. Nous espérons que la disparition de cet auteur n’empêchera pas la poursuite de cette publication et qu’elle conservera le même niveau scientifique. Sous-famille des Pentatominae Ces punaises possèdent un scutellum triangulaire qui ne dépasse guère en arrière le milieu de l’abdomen, ce qui les distingue nettement des Podopinae. Le rostre est mince et atteint au moins les hanches moyennes. Son premier article est logé dans un sillon qui occupe toute la longueur de la tête. Ce caractère sépare sans ambiguïté les Pentatominae des Asopinae. La 28 Bull. trim. ass. Manche-Nature, L’Argiope N° 76-77 (2012) plupart des Pentatominae sont phytophages mais quelques-uns complètent ce régime par une nourriture animale.

  • Punaises » De Savoie Etat Des Connaissances En 2019 Familles Des Pentatomidae, Scutelleridae, Cydnidae, Acanthosomatidae, Thyreocoridae, Plataspidae
    Novembre 2019 « Punaises » de Savoie Etat des connaissances en 2019 Familles des Pentatomidae, Scutelleridae, Cydnidae, Acanthosomatidae, Thyreocoridae, Plataspidae Les « PUNAISES » de Savoie Liste illustrée des espèces, état 2019 André MIQUET Conservatoire d’Espaces naturels de Savoie (CEN Savoie), décembre 2019 Méconnues et mal aimées … Il n’est pas exagéré de dire que les punaises ne bénéficient ni de bataillons de naturalistes dédiés, ni d’un capital sympathie démesuré auprès du grand public. L’imaginaire collectif ne trouve aucune vertu à ces insectes exclusivement associés à des nuisances, notamment olfactives ... Le sous-ordre des hétéroptères (punaises et gendarmes) sont des insectes souvent plus ou moins aplatis, aux ailes en partie durcie, souvent colorées. Prédateurs ou phytophages, leur appareil buccal piqueur-suceur leur permet d’aspirer la lymphe des chenilles comme la sève des plantes. Le CEN Savoie pend en charge leur connaissance dans ce département dans le cadre de sa stratégie envers les « groupes orphelins ». Les Hétéroptères comportant 1400 espèces en France, il est proposé de focaliser sur le groupe des Pentatomoides, et ce pour trois raisons : - « seulement » 120 espèces en France, - la plupart identifiables sur (bonnes) photos macros, - guide national et atlas régional (Franche-Comté) récemment parus. Ce groupe est donc à même de bénéficier d’une meilleure prise en compte, en attendant un atlas de répartition, une liste d’espèces déterminantes ZNIEFF, une liste rouge, et une stratégie de conservation. Au- delà de leurs deux espèces exogènes, bien loin de n’être qu’une « nuisance », les punaises sont avant tout une partie intégrante de notre patrimoine naturel ! … désormais prêtes à « sortir de l’ombre » en Savoie Afin de promouvoir et faciliter leur identification en vue d’un pré-atlas de répartition, 79 espèces connues ou à rechercher en Savoie sont présentées.

By its rarity in the Catalan fauna, the mirid Deraeocoris (D.) schach (Fabricius, 1781) and the pentatomid Sciocoris (N.) maculatus Fieber, 1851 are interesting species. Plus being rare species, the mirid Macrotylus (A.) solitarius (Meyer-Dür, 1843) and the pentatomid Sciocoris (S.) umbrinus (Wolff, 1804) are new records for the Natural Park. The mirids Alloetomus germanicus Wagner, 1939 and Amblytylus brevicollis Fieber, 1858, and the pentatomid Eysarcoris aeneus (Scopoli, 1763) are new contributions for the Park checklist.

Deltamethrin, chlorantraniliprole, bifenthrin, lime-alum, and thyme oil reduced JB activity in the field. Deltamethrin, chlorantraniliprole, acetamiprid, an azadirachtin and pyrethrin mixture, an azadirachtin and neem oil extract mixture, and an extract of Chenopodium ambrosioides reduced JB activity during the bioassays. ‘Prelude’ had significantly more JB than ‘Anne’, ‘Caroline’, ‘Heritage’, ‘Dinkum’, or ‘Himbo Top’ and ‘Prime-Jan’ had significantly more JB than ‘Prime-Jim’. Compared to certain cultivars, ‘Heritage’, ‘Caroline’, ‘Himbo Top’, and ‘Prime-Jan’ had higher percentages of injured fruit and ‘Autumn Bliss’, ‘Heritage’, and ‘Caroline’ produced greater marketable and overall yields. ‘Prime-Jan’ produced more overall yield than ‘Prime-Jim’; marketable yields from both blackberry cultivars were similar.

Abstract. The list of 44 species of true bugs of the family Pentatomidae of the Central Ciscaucasia is given. 10 Аннотированный список species are recorded for this territory for the first time. Pentatomidae Центрального Предкавказья Несмотря на хорошую изученность полужесткокрылых Кавказа, Центральное Предкавказье Подсемейство Podopinae остается «белым пятном» в исследовании этой группы насекомых. В частности, до настоящего момента не был Vilpianus galii (Wolff, 1802) уточнен видовой состав клопов-щитников – крупного семейства полужесткокрылых, насчитывающего 100 Материал.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Family Groups in Pentatomoidea Based on Morphology and DNA Sequences (Insecta: Heteroptera)
    Cladistics Cladistics 24 (2008) 1–45 10.1111/j.1096-0031.2008.00224.x Phylogenetic relationships of family groups in Pentatomoidea based on morphology and DNA sequences (Insecta: Heteroptera) Jocelia Graziaa,*, Randall T. Schuhb and Ward C. Wheelerb aCNPq Researcher, Department of Zoology, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil; bDivision of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY 10024, USA Accepted 18 March 2008 Abstract Phylogenetic relationships within the Pentatomoidea are investigated through the coding and analysis of character data derived from morphology and DNA sequences. In total, 135 terminal taxa were investigated, representing most of the major family groups; 84 ingroup taxa are coded for 57 characters in a morphological matrix. As many as 3500 bp of DNA data are adduced for each of 52 terminal taxa, including 44 ingroup taxa, comprising the 18S rRNA, 16S rRNA, 28S rRNA, and COI gene regions. Character data are analysed separately and in the form of a total evidence analysis. Major conclusions of the phylogenetic analysis include: the concept of Urostylididae is restricted to that of earlier authors; the Saileriolinae is raised to family rank and treated as the sister group of all Pentatomoidea exclusive of Urostylididae sensu stricto; a broadly conceived Cydnidae, as recognized by Dolling, 1981, is not supported; the placement of Thaumastellidae within the Pentatomoidea is affirmed and the taxon is recognized at family rank rather than as a subfamily

    Invertébrés Armoricains, 2015, 12 : 41-47. 41 Note sur quelques nouvelles mentions d’Hétéroptères rares ou peu connus du Massif armoricain et ses marges (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) 1 Thomas CHERPITEL Mots-clés – Faunistique, chorologie, Heteroptera, Massif armoricain. Résumé – Quatre espèces sont citées pour la première fois en Bretagne : Pygolampis bidentata (Goeze, 1778) (Reduviidae), Sciocoris (Aposciocoris) homalonotus Fieber, 1852 (Pentatomidae), Orsillus depressus (Mulsant & Rey, 1852) (Lygaeidae) et Emblethis denticollis Horváth, 1878 (Lygaeidae). De nouvelles localités sont présentées pour six autres espèces considérées comme rares ou mal connues sur le Massif armoricain : Sigara (Retrocorixa) limitata limitata (Fieber, 1848) (Corixidae), Coranus kerzhneri Putshkov, 1982 (Reduviidae), Stephanitis takeyai Drake & Maa, 1955 (Tingidae) Ochetostethus nanus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1834) (Cydnidae), Ancyrosoma leucogrammes (Gmelin, 1789) (Pentatomidae) et Chilacis typhae (Perris, 1857) (Lygaeidae). Abstract – Four species are recorded for the first time in Britanny: Pygolampis bidentata (Goeze, 1778) (Reduviidae), Sciocoris (Aposciocoris) homalonotus Fieber, 1852 (Pentatomidae), Orsillus depressus (Mulsant & Rey, 1852) (Lygaeidae) and Emblethis denticollis Horváth, 1878 (Lygaeidae). New localities and data are also provided on six others species considered as rare or misknown on the Massif armoricain: Sigara (Retrocorixa) limitata limitata (Fieber, 1848) (Corixidae), Coranus kerzhneri Putshkov, 1982 (Reduviidae), Stephanitis takeyai Drake &

  • Taxonomic Survey of Stink Bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) of India
    Taxonomic survey of stink bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) of India M. Nayyar Azim Section of Entomology, P.G.Department of Zoology; University of Kashmir, Srinagar-190006 (J & K) India. (email:[email protected]) Abstract A taxonomic survey has been conducted to observe the diversity of pentatomid bugs in India. The species collected have been systematically arranged in their respective subfamilies and tribes. The study is based on the personal collection and on the basis of collection deposited in the museum of Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Keywords: Taxonomic survey, Stink bugs, India. Introduction The members of the family Pentatomidae are (1965), Mathew(1969,1977 and 1980), Pawar (1971), commonly called as stink bugs. They constitute an Chopra (1972 and 1974), Ghauri (1975a, 1975b and1977), economically important group of hemipterous pests as Azim and Shafee (1978, 1980, 1982, 1983a, 1983b, most of the species are phytophagous. Both nymphs 1984a, 1984b, 1985a, 1985b1987a and1987b), Shafee and adults have piercing and sucking type of and Azim (1984), Azim and Gami (1999), Azim (2000, mouthparts. They suck the sap by piercing their rostrum 2002) and Azim et al.(2008). into the plant tissues and lowers its vitality. The infested plants remain stunted in growth and present a sickly Subfamily: Pentatominae Leach appearance. The injury caused by them is usually Tribe: Gynenicini Shafee and Azim overlooked as they have a colouration which is more Genus Gynenica Dallas or less harmonious to their surroundings. Besides Type-species: Gynenica marginella Dallas sucking the sap from the plant, some of them transmit Neogynenica Yang a number of viral, bacterial and fungal diseases.
