STEHLÍK1 & ZDENÌK JINDRA2 1 Moravian Museum, Department of Entomology, Hviezdoslavova 29a, 627 00 Brno, Czech Republic 2 Czech University of Agriculture, Department of Plant Protection, 165 21 Prague-Suchdol, Czech Republic STEHLÍK J. L. & JINDRA Z. 2003: Largidae and Pyrrhocoridae of Thailand (Heteroptera). Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae (Brno) 88: 5–19. – This paper adds 29 species of the superfamily Pyrrhocoroidea to the fauna of Thailand (9 species previously known), including three new species of Pyrrhocoridae: Ectatops major sp.nov., Indra dentipes sp.nov., and Pyrrhopeplus immaculatus sp.nov. The species Dindymus rutilans Walker, 1873 syn.nov. of Pyrrhocoridae is synonymized with Dindymus semirufus Stål, 1863. Key words. Pyrrhocoroidea, Pentatomomorpha, Heteroptera, new species, Thailand, distribution Introduction Information on Oriental Pyrrhocoroidea is limited. The only comprehensive work on the Indian subcontinent is that by DISTANT (1903a) on the territory of former India, Ceylon and Burma. Unfortunately, this work includes only limited data on distribution. Some further data are also given in four DISTANT'S papers: (1879a: 12 species from Northeastern India), (1879b: 6 species from Tenasserim, Burma), (1919: 15 species from "Indochine"), and (1903b: 11 species from Malaysia). More data from the Oriental Region can be found in FREEMAN (1947) but the work deals only with the genus Dysdercus Guérin Meneville, 1831. All other geographic information is scattered, being a part of species descriptions. Previous to this publication, the Largidae and Pyrrhocoridae of Thailand lacked adequate study. This fauna in neighbouring Laos is also the subject of a recent contribution to the literature (STEHLÍK in press). A previously unidentified species of Macrocheraia Guérin, 1834 (Largidae) has been reported from Thailand by SCHAEFER & AHMAD (1999). It is probably the single species M. grandis grandis (Gray, 1832) within the genus. Eight species of Pyrrhocoridae have been reported from Thailand to date: Dindymus sanguineus (Fabricius, 1794) (by LETHIERRY & SEVERIN 1894), Dindymus semirufus Stål, 1863 [reported by WALKER (1873) as D. rutilans Walker, 1873], Dysdercus cingulatus (Fabricius, 1775) (by FREEMAN 1947), Dysdercus poecilus (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1843) (by FREEMAN 1947), Ectatops indignus (Walker, 1873) [by WALKER (1873) also as E. imitator (Walker, 1873) and by DISTANT (1903a) as E. ophthalmicus var. rubiaceus Amyot et Serville, 1843], Euscopus indecorus (Walker, 1873) (by WALKER 1873), Melamphaus faber (Fabricius, 1787) (by STÅL 1868), and Probergrothius nigricornis (Stål, 1861) (by STÅL 1863). 5 J. L. STEHLÍK & Z. JINDRA In the present study, 7 species of Largidae and 21 species of Pyrrhocoridae, including three new species in the latter family, are added to the pyrrhocoroid fauna of Thailand (altogether 38 species known). Materials and methods Genera and species are listed in alphabetical order within the particular families. Distribution is given for each species, based on published data. More detailed data on the distribution of some species in China are included in a catalogue by KERZHNER (2001). For information on original binomina and synonyms of species mentioned, the reader is reffered to the worldwide catalogue by HUSSEY (1929). In the present work, distribution is given as supplementary information without listing the sources. Names of species are given in their latest combination.

Silambarasan2 · K. Senthil2 · John Prasanth Jacob2 · Modhumita Ghosh Dasgupta1 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins with wide array of functions including plant defense against pathogens and insect pests. In the present study, a putative mannose-binding lectin (WsMBP1) of 1124 bp was isolated from leaves of Withania somnifera. The gene was expressed in E. coli, and the recombinant WsMBP1 with a predicted molecular weight of 31 kDa was tested for its insecticidal properties against Hyblaea puera (Lepidoptera: Hyblaeidae) and Probergrothius sanguinolens (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae). Delay in growth and metamorphosis, decreased larval body mass and increased mortality was recorded in recombinant WsMBP1-fed larvae. Histological studies on the midgut of lectin-treated insects showed disrupted and difused secretory cells surrounding the gut lumen in larvae of H. puera and P. sanguinolens, implicating its role in disruption of the digestive process and nutrient assimilation in the studied insect pests. The present study indicates that WsMBP1 can act as a potential gene resource in future transformation programs for incorporating insect pest tolerance in susceptible plant genotypes.

  • (Pentatomidae) DISSERTATION Presented
    Genome Evolution During Development of Symbiosis in Extracellular Mutualists of Stink Bugs (Pentatomidae) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alejandro Otero-Bravo Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Zakee L. Sabree, Advisor Rachelle Adams Norman Johnson Laura Kubatko Copyrighted by Alejandro Otero-Bravo 2020 Abstract Nutritional symbioses between bacteria and insects are prevalent, diverse, and have allowed insects to expand their feeding strategies and niches. It has been well characterized that long-term insect-bacterial mutualisms cause genome reduction resulting in extremely small genomes, some even approaching sizes more similar to organelles than bacteria. While several symbioses have been described, each provides a limited view of a single or few stages of the process of reduction and the minority of these are of extracellular symbionts. This dissertation aims to address the knowledge gap in the genome evolution of extracellular insect symbionts using the stink bug – Pantoea system. Specifically, how do these symbionts genomes evolve and differ from their free- living or intracellular counterparts? In the introduction, we review the literature on extracellular symbionts of stink bugs and explore the characteristics of this system that make it valuable for the study of symbiosis. We find that stink bug symbiont genomes are very valuable for the study of genome evolution due not only to their biphasic lifestyle, but also to the degree of coevolution with their hosts. i In Chapter 1 we investigate one of the traits associated with genome reduction, high mutation rates, for Candidatus ‘Pantoea carbekii’ the symbiont of the economically important pest insect Halyomorpha halys, the brown marmorated stink bug, and evaluate its potential for elucidating host distribution, an analysis which has been successfully used with other intracellular symbionts.

L. & JINDRA Z. 2006: A revision of the genus Ascopocoris Stehlík et Kerzhner, 1999 (Pyrrhocoridae, Heteroptera). Acta Musei Moraviae, Scientiae biologicae (Brno) 91: 61–68. – Species of the genus Ascopocoris Stehlík & Kerzhner, 1999 are revised. The genus Brancucciana Ahmad et Zaidi, 1986 (type species B. bhutanensis Ahmad et Zaidi, 1986) is synonymized with the genus Ascopocoris. The species Brancucciana bhutanensis Ahmad et Zaidi, 1986, Euscopus gestroi Distant, 1903 and Antilochus pygmaeus Distant, 1903 are transferred to the genus Ascopocoris. The subgenus Rubriascopus subgen.nov. (type species Antilochus pygmaeus Distant, 1903) is established within Ascopocoris. The species Ascoporis (Ascoporis) constanti sp.nov. is described from Thailand and Laos. Key words. Heteroptera, Pentatomomorpha, Pyrrhocoridae, Ascopocoris, new species, new subgenus, new combination, distribution Introduction The study of some diagnoses of Pyrrhocoridae and subsequently of the corresponding type material (or of specimens comparable to the types) has shown that some species are not congeneric but belong to different genera. Three of these have to be transferred to the genus Ascopocoris Stehlík et Kerzhner, 1999 (nomen novum for Ascopus Hsiao, 1964, nomen praeoccupatum). HSIAO (1964) listed several important characters in his description of this genus, but some still remained to be added.

  • Pyrrhocoris Apterus L. (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae), a Newly Introduced Family, Genus, and Species to Ontario and Canada
    Pyrrhocoris apterus , newly introduced to Ontario and Canada JESO Volume 149, 2018 PYRRHOCORIS APTERUS L. (HEMIPTERA: PYRRHOCORIDAE), A NEWLY INTRODUCED FAMILY, GENUS, AND SPECIES TO ONTARIO AND CANADA P. J. OVIEDO RojAS1* AND M. D. JACKsoN1 1University of Guelph: 50 Stone Road East, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 2W1 email, [email protected] Scientific Note J. ent. Soc. Ont. 149: 27–32 The family Pyrrhocoridae (Hemiptera: Pentatomomorpha) has a widespread range, having its greatest diversity in the tropics yet also containing members endemic to the Holarctic region (Schuh and Slater 1995), although none are native to Canada. Dysdercus Guérin-Méneville (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae), which includes the economically important cotton stainers, is the only pyrrhocorid genus with members native to the New World, but is chiefly tropical and more diverse in the Old World (Schaefer 2015). One species has been recorded from as far north as South Carolina and Georgia, USA (Henry 1988a). Pyrrhocoris apterus L. (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae), commonly known as the European firebug, linden bug, or red soldier bug, is found natively throughout Europe and neighbouring regions of Asia. Pyrrhocoris apterus has also been recorded historically from Costa Rica (Distant 1880–1893) and reported in New Jersey, USA in 1896 (Barber 1911; Henry 1988a), though it was not considered established in North America until it was found in Utah, USA in 2008 (Hodgson 2008). This paper will describe the first account of P. apterus, and the family Pyrrhocoridae, in Canada, with evidence that the species has become locally established. The first author first noticed P. apterus in a backyard in Etobicoke, Ontario near the intersection of Martin Grove Road and The Westway (43°41’N 79°34’W) in August 2017.

  • Biological and Morphological Parameters of Dysdercus Maurus Fed with Low- Or High-Oil Cotton Seeds
    Entomology/ Original Article ISSN 1678-3921 Biological and morphological Journal homepage: www.embrapa.br/pab For manuscript submission and journal contents, parameters of Dysdercus access: www.scielo.br/pab maurus fed with low- or high-oil cotton seeds Abstract – The objective of this work was to determine the biological and morphological parameters of Dysdercus maurus fed with cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) seeds with a high or low oil content, as well as to identify genotypes to be used in breeding programs as sources of resistance to this stink bug. The development, survival, and reproduction of the cotton stainer bug were determined in a completely randomized experimental design. The treatments consisted of the insect nymphs being feed with cotton seeds of the CNPA 2001-5581 (high oil content) or CNPA 2001-5087 (low content) genetic line. Carlos Alberto Domingues da Silva(1 ) , Survival, weight, and morphological parameters of the bug were determined. Josivaldo da Silva Galdino(2) , The survival of second- and third-instar nymphs and of the total nymph stage Thiele da Silva Carvalho(3) and of D. maurus was lower with cotton seeds with a low oil content. The body José Cola Zanuncio(4) length and head width of D. maurus adults were greater, but pronotum length (1) Embrapa Algodão, Rua Oswaldo Cruz, and width were smaller and the females heavier with cotton seeds with a high no 1.143, Centenário, CEP 58428-095 oil content. Low-oil cotton genotypes can reduce populations of the stainer Campina Grande, PB, Brazil. E-mail: bug.
