Mont., 2 (2), 2015, 147-149 147 FIRST RECORD OF ELASMUCHA FERRUGATA FROM MONTENEGRO It is an Eurosiberian species so far known in Balkan Peninsula from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and Slovenia (Protić 2001, 2010; Göllner-Scheiding 2006); in other European parts from Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia (European part), Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine; and in Asia from China (Northern, Northeastern and Southwestern Territories), Kazakhstan, Korea, Mongolia and Russia (West Siberia, East Siberia and Far East) (Göllner-Scheiding 2006; Aukema et al. 2013). This species lives on Vaccinium spp. (especially on V. myrtillus and also on V. vitis-idaea) in light forests and at forest edges; it was found occasionally also on other berry plants, e.g. on Grossularia, Ribes, Rubus, Prunus, Lonicera and Crataegus (Kerzhner 1972; Stehlík 1984; Wachmann et al. 2008). It hibernates in the adult stage, and active adults can be found at the end of April or the first half of May; the new generation of adults has been observed in August and September (Stehlík 1984). According to Stehlík (1984) in Moravia (Czech Republic) the species does not occur in plains (>260 m a.s.l.) but only in hilly, incidentally mountainous terrain up to 650 m a.s.l. Parental care and reproductive investments of three Elasmucha species, including E. ferrugata, was studied by Kaitala & Mappes (1997), informations about behaviour, oviposition and Pendergrast's organs of E. ferrugata (and other Acanthosomatidae) were summarized and updated by Fischer (2006) and Hanelová & Vilímová (2013).

An invasive species, the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Sta˚ l), is spreading through the region. However, little is known about the complex of stink bug species associ- ated with corn and soybean in the midwestern United States. In this region, particularly in the more northern states, stink bugs have historically caused only infrequent impacts to these crops. To prepare growers and agri- cultural professionals to contend with this new threat, we provide a review of stink bugs associated with soybean and corn in the midwestern United States.

McPherson ,2 ABSTRACT A key to adults of all heteropteran families known to occur in Illinois is presented together with general information on the biologies of these families. Also included are general references on Heteroptera and on individual families, particularly if those references involve studies of fauna that were conducted in Illinois, adjacent states, or nearby parts of Canada. The Heteroptera (true bugs) is a large insect order that occurs worldwide and is represented in America north of Mexico by about 45 families. Of these, 36 are known to occur in Illinois. The order is a well defined group characterized by (1) a segmented beak that arises from the front of the head and (2) wings that, when present and well developed, lie flat on the abdomen with the first pair usually leathery basally and membranous distally.

  • Jewel Bugs of Australia (Insecta, Heteroptera, Scutelleridae)1
    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Jewel Bugs of Australia (Insecta, Heteroptera, Scutelleridae)1 G. CASSIS & L. VANAGS Abstract: The Australian genera of the Scutelleridae are redescribed, with a species exemplar of the ma- le genitalia of each genus illustrated. Scanning electron micrographs are also provided for key non-ge- nitalic characters. The Australian jewel bug fauna comprises 13 genera and 25 species. Heissiphara is described as a new genus, for a single species, H. minuta nov.sp., from Western Australia. Calliscyta is restored as a valid genus, and removed from synonymy with Choerocoris. All the Australian species of Scutelleridae are described, and an identification key is given. Two new species of Choerocoris are des- cribed from eastern Australia: C. grossi nov.sp. and C. lattini nov.sp. Lampromicra aerea (DISTANT) is res- tored as a valid species, and removed from synonymy with L. senator (FABRICIUS). Calliphara nobilis (LIN- NAEUS) is recorded from Australia for the first time. Calliphara billardierii (FABRICIUS) and C. praslinia praslinia BREDDIN are removed from the Australian biota. The identity of Sphaerocoris subnotatus WAL- KER is unknown and is incertae sedis. A description is also given for the Neotropical species, Agonoso- ma trilineatum (FABRICIUS); a biological control agent recently introduced into Australia to control the pasture weed Bellyache Bush (Jatropha gossypifolia, Euphorbiaceae). Coleotichus borealis DISTANT and C. (Epicoleotichus) schultzei TAUEBER are synonymised with C. excellens (WALKER). Callidea erythrina WAL- KER is synonymized with Lampromicra senator. Lectotype designations are given for the following taxa: Coleotichus testaceus WALKER, Coleotichus excellens, Sphaerocoris circuliferus (WALKER), Callidea aureocinc- ta WALKER, Callidea collaris WALKER and Callidea curtula WALKER.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Family Groups in Pentatomoidea Based on Morphology and DNA Sequences (Insecta: Heteroptera)

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

The following new combination and new subjective synonymies are pro- posed: Elasmucha Stål, 1864 = Grossaria Kumar, 1974, syn. nov.; Elasmucha vicina (Uhler, 1861), comb. nov. (transferred from Acanthosoma) = Elasmucha dorsalis (Jakovlev, 1876), syn. nov. Reversion to the senior name E. vicina is considered to be undesirable, therefore, in order to preserve stability, no nomenclatural changes are proposed in this paper, but an application has simultaneously been submitted to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to give the specific name dorsalis precedence over the specific name vicinum. Key words: Heteroptera, Acanthosomatidae, taxonomy, new combination, new synonymy Introduction Acanthosoma vicinum (Uhler, 1861) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Acanthosomatidae) was described by Uhler (1861) based on an unspecified number of specimens from Hong Kong.

Abstract: Pentatomoidea knowledge in São Paulo state is here updated. Two hundred and two species in 92 genera belonging to Acanthosomatidae, Canopidae, Cydnidae, Pentatomidae, Phloeidae, Scutelleridae, Tessaratomidae and Thyreocoridae are registered. Forty one species were added and 13 taxonomical and nomenclatorial corrections were made comparing with the data presented in the first edition of the Biota SP in 1999. Pentatomoidea species richness of São Paulo state is around 25% of the species known to Brazil and around 3% of the world fauna. The increase of the studies in scarcely known families in Brazil will certainly raise these numbers. Pentatomidae was the most numerous taxon in São Paulo state, with 80% of the registered species. Keywords: stink bugs, pentatomids, biodiversity of the State of São Paulo, BIOTA/FAPESP Program.

Cuticular parts of the spermatheca and associated vaginal structures (chiefly the ring sclerites of the parietovaginal glands) have been examined and compared in 190 cydnid species representing 65 genera and all five subfamilies currently recognized in the family (Amnestinae, Cephalocteinae, Cydninae, Garsauriinae, Sehirinae). Four species belonging to genera formerly included within the Cydnidae (Dismegistus, Parastrachia, Thaumastella, Thyreocoris) were also examined. Morphology of the three main parts of the spermatheca [seminal receptacle (distal bulb), intermediate part (pump apparatus), spermathecal duct] is described. Four main types of spermathecae can be recognized from the distal receptacle and the intermediate part: the amaurocorine type (in Sehirinae: Amaurocorini), amnestine type (in Amnestinae), garsauriine type (in Garsauriinae), and “cydnoid” type (in Cephalocteinae + Cydni- nae: Cydnini, Geotomini + Sehirinae: Sehirini). No synapomorphy of these types was found which suggests that the currently con- ceived Cydnidae are not monophyletic.

  • Morphology, Ontogeny, Reproduction, and Feeding of True Bugs
    Chapter 2 Morphology, Ontogeny, Reproduction, and Feeding of True Bugs Jocélía Grazia, Felipe L. Simões, and Antônio R. Panizzi Abstract In this chapter we present an overview of the morphology, ontogeny, reproduction, and feeding of the 28 higher-level categories (infraorder/superfamily/ family/subfamily) of true bugs occurring in the neotropical region, which are treated in greater detail in Sect. 2.2. 2.1 Introduction The Heteroptera can be diagnosed by the presence of mouthparts typically hemipteran with mandibular stylets concentric and surrounding maxillary stylets. The labium is inserted anteriorly on the head and a distinct gular area is always present, often closed behind to form a buccular bridge. Scent-gland structures are often paired, located and exiting ventrally in the metathoracic pleuron; nymphs with paired scent glands which are placed at the junction of one or more of the following abdominal terga: JIIIIV, IVN, VNl, and VINIL A detailed description of the adult morphology of heteropterous insects is found in Schuh and Slater (1995). The eggs may be elongate, cylindrical, curved, or barrel-shaped; they are inserted into a plant tissue, cemented to a substraturn, or laid free. A distinct operculum may be present, the same applying to a true egg burster. The cephalic pole of the egg of most bugs bears one or two micropy les or aero- rnicropyles (apparently with gaseous exchange function).
