    Brief report Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 61 (4): 863–868, 2016 A new pentatomoid bug from the Ypresian of Patagonia, Argentina JULIÁN F. PETRULEVIČIUS A new pentatomoid heteropteran, Chinchekoala qunita gen. (Wilf et al. 2003). It consists of a single specimen, holotype et sp. nov. is described from the lower Eocene of Laguna MPEF-PI 944a–b, with dorsal and ventral sides, collected from del Hunco, Patagonia, Argentina. The new genus is mainly pyroclastic debris of the plant locality LH-25, latitude 42°30’S, characterised by cephalic characters such as the mandibular longitude 70°W (Wilf 2012; Wilf et al. 2003, 2005). The locality plates surpassing the clypeus and touching each other in dor- was dated using 40Ar/39Ar by Wilf et al. (2005) and recalculated sal view; head wider than long; and remarkable characters by Wilf (2012), giving an age of 52.22 ± 0.22 (analytical 2 σ), related to the eyes, which are surrounded antero-laterally ± 0.29 (full 2 σ) Ma. The specimen was originally partly covered and posteriorly by the anteocular processes and the prono- by sediment and was prepared with a pneumatic hammer. It was tum, as well as they extend medially more than usual in the drawn with a camera lucida attached to a Wild M8 stereomicro- Pentatomoidea. This is the first pentatomoid from the Ypre- scope and photographed with a Nikon SMZ800 with a DS-Vi1 sian of Patagonia and the second from the Eocene in the re- camera. For female genitalia nomenclature I use valvifers VIII gion, being the unique two fossil pentatomoids in Argentina.

    CONSPECTUS OF AEPTINI STÅL, 1871 (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA: PENTATOMIDAE: PENTATOMINAE) A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Eduardo Iván Faúndez In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Major Department: Entomology July 2017 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title CONSPECTUS OF AEPTINI STÅL, 1871 (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA: PENTATOMIDAE: PENTATOMINAE) By Eduardo Iván Faúndez The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Dr. David A. Rider Chair Dr. Allan C. Ashworth Dr. Mark Boetel Dr. Rebecca Simmons Approved: 07-13-2017 Frank Casey Date Department Chair ABSTRACT The Pentatominae tribe Aeptini is revised. A key to the known genera is provided, together with redescription and figures. The genus Paramenestheus is revised, including a key to the species and figures to all the included taxa. Two new genera and eight new species are discovered and described. A phylogenetic analysis is included for the Aeptini, with two approaches, cladistic and maximum likelihood, both morphologically based. After these analysis it is concluded that it is a monophyletic tribe and has to be split into two subtribes: Aeptina (including Aeptus and Eribotes) and Menesthina (including Aeliosoma, Hillieria, Menestheus, Paramenestheus, Pseudaelia, New Genus 1, New Genus 2.). Diagnoses for both subtribes are included. Biogeographically it is hypothesized that the Aeptini have a Gondwanian origin which explains it current disjunct distribution in Africa and Australia. The importance of the findings on this dissertation, as well as the relationships among Aeptini and other Pentatominae groups is commented and disccused.

  • Coprophagous Feeding Behaviour by Two Species of Nymphal Pentatomid
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 26: 2013 145 COPROPHAGOUS FEEDING BEHAVIOUR BY TWO SPECIES OF NYMPHAL PENTATOMID ALEX J. RAMSAY 44 Sun Lane, Burley-in-Wharfedale, Ilkley, West Yorkshire, LS29 7JB, UK [email protected] ABSTRACT Final instar nymphs of the shieldbugs Palomena prasina (L.) and Pentatoma rufipes (L.) were observed feeding in the white part of bird droppings. This part consists mostly of uric acid, an insoluble compound rich in nitrogen, but potentially a rich source of nutrients to the nymphs if they possess the necessary metabolising endosymbiont bacteria found in other hemipteran groups. This is only the second recorded occurrence of coprophagy in nymphal Pentatomidae. A review of coprophagous feeding behaviour in the Pentatomoidea identified six species of Pentatomidae and one species of Scutelleridae. Coprophagous feeding remains unconfirmed in Cydnidae. INTRODUCTION AND OBSERVATIONS On 8th July 2007 final instar nymphs of Palomena prasina (L.) (Pentatomidae; Carpocorini) and Pentatoma rufipes (L.) (Pentatomidae: Pentatomini) were observed feeding on the white part of fresh bird droppings on wooden fence posts along a woodland margin in Wokingham, Berkshire (SU826695). In each case only a single nymph was recorded of each species exhibiting this feeding behaviour. There has been only one previous record of this behaviour recorded in the literature for species of nymphal Pentatomidae (Londt & Reavell, 1982), suggesting that such behaviour is rare or at least rarely recorded. As the white part of bird droppings consists mostly of uric acid, it is suggested that these nymphs were specifically seeking out a source of dietary uric acid in order to supplement their diet.

McDonald Department of Entomology Quaestiones Entomologicae University of Alberta 2:7-150. 1966 The male genitalia of 85 and the female genitalia of 80 species of North American pentatomoid bugs are described. The male genitalia were found to vary very widely in the tribes Pachycorini and Odontoscelini of the Scutellerinae. The female genitalia were less variable. Species in the tribe Scutellerini are very easily defined on the basis of the male genitalia. The Pentatominae, Asopinae, and Podopinae are very uniform in the structure of the genitalia and are closely related to one another. The spermatheca of all species examined in the above sub­ families except Trichopepla semivittata (Say) (Pentatominae), has an elongate membraneous dilation with a central sclerotized rod. Median penal lobes occur only in the Pentatominae, Asopinae and Podopinae with the exception of one scutellerine, Symphylus carribeanus(Kirkaldy). The Cydnidae exhibit great diversity of form both in the male and female genitalia. The status of this family will remain obscure until further species have been examined. The Acantho- somidae posses pentatomine type genitalia. The genitalia of Piezostemum subulatum (Thunberg) do not resemble those of other species of the Tessaratomidae so far described. On the basis of this work it is suggested that the Scutellerinae be accorded family status; the Asopinae and Podopinae should be reduced to tribes within the Pentatominae; the Acanthosomidae reduced to subfamily status ivithin the Pentatomidae and Piezostemum should be raised to subfamily status within the Tessaratomidae.

  • Pentatomidae: Pentatominae: Caystrini)
    INT. J. BIO. BIOTECH., 2(1): 1-4, 2005. BIODIVERSITY IN STINK BUG CAYSTRUS NIGRIVENTRIS GERMAR (PENTATOMIDAE: PENTATOMINAE: CAYSTRINI) Imtiaz Ahmad1, M. Zahid2 and S. Kamaluddin2 1Department of Zoology, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270 2Department of Zoology, Federal Urdu University of Arts, Sciences & Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal Campus, University Road, Karachi, Pakistan. ABSTRACT Distant (1910) while transferring Caystrus nigriventris Germar for the first time in its appropriate genus Caystrus Stål synonymized marginiventris Stål with it and Linnavuori (1982) speculated that another species C. trivalis might only be a race of S. marginiventris. Presently not only C. nigriventris is redescribed but the above three species/forms are compared in table I and the genitalial characters of C. marginiventris and C. trivalis are compared in table II (in the male holotype of nigriventris the pygophore is missing). Key-words: Biodiversity, stink bug, Caystrus nigriventris INTRODUCTION Germar (1838) described nigriventris under Cimex Linnaeus. Dallas (1851), Dohrn (1859), Stål (1866) and Walker (1867) listed nigriventris under Sciocoris Stål which is the type genus of another tribe Sciocorini Stål. Dohrn in the same year placed nigriventris under Phyllocephala of another subfamily Phyllocephalinae of Pentatomidae. Stål (1876) cited nigriventris under the original genus Cimex as incertaesedis possibly belonging to Paramecocoris Stål which also belongs to the tribe Caystrini. Lethierry and Scverin (1893) catalogued nigriventris under Paramecocoris with a question mark and Kirkaldy (1909) placed nigriventris under Delegorguella Spinola (also with a question mark) which belongs to another tribe Myrocheini Stål. Distant (1910) for the first time rightly placed nigriventris in its present genus Caystrus Stål but at the same time synonymized marginiventris Stål with this species but this synonymy has not been accepted in the literature todate (Linnavuori 1972, 1974 and 1982).

    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

  • 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.
