Packauskas1 Abstract Forty eight species of Pentatomidae are listed as occurring in the state of Kansas, nine of these are new state records. A key to all species known from the state of Kansas is given, along with some notes on new state records. ____________________ The family Pentatomidae, comprised of mainly phytophagous and a few predaceous species, is one of the largest families of Heteroptera. Some of the phytophagous species have a wide host range and this ability may make them the most economically important family among the Heteroptera (Panizzi et al. 2000). As a group, they have been found feeding on cotton, nuts, fruits, veg- etables, legumes, and grain crops (McPherson 1982, McPherson and McPherson 2000, Panizzi et al 2000).

It seldom plays a major role in the natural control of insects in Florida, but its prey includes a number Description of economically important species. Adults The length of males is approximately 12 mm, with a head width of 2.3 mm and a humeral width of 6.4 mm. The length of females is 12 to 17 mm, with a head width of 2.4 mm and a humeral width of 7.2 mm. Euthyrhynchus floridanus (Figure 2) normally can be distinguished from all other stink bugs in the southeastern United States by a red- dish spot at each corner of the scutellum outlined against a blue-black to purplish-brown ground color. Variations occur that might cause confusion with somewhat similar stink bugs in several genera, such as Stiretrus, Oplomus, and Perillus, but these other bugs have obtuse humeri, or at least lack the distinct humeral spine that is present in adults of Euthyrhynchus. In addition, species of these genera Figure 1.

(L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero.

Managing this pest species is challenging because of Citation: Rot, M.; Maistrello, L.; its wide host range and lack of effective control measures. Biological control of H. halys through natural Costi, E.; Bernardinelli, I.; enemies seems to be the most environmentally friendly and sustainable solution. Extensive knowledge Malossini, G.; Benvenuto, L.; Trdan, S. of the native egg parasitoid fauna is needed prior to the introduction of a biological control program.

Digital dorsal habitus photographs for A. imperatorius Bergroth and A. regalis Bergroth, the two included species, are provided. Selected morphological structures are documented with scanning electron micrographs. Male genitalia are documented for the fi rst time with digital photomicrographs and line drawings. New distributional records in South America are given for species of Aristathlus. Keywords: Harpactorini, Hemiptera, male genitalia, Neotropical region, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION Reduviidae is the second largest family of Heteroptera with more than 6000 species described (Maldonado 1990). Despite not having an agreement about the suprageneric classifi cation of Reduviidae (e.g., Putshkov & Putshkov 1985; Maldonado 1990), * Th is paper is dedicated to Michail Josifov on the occasion of his 80th birthday. 86 D.

  • Broad-Headed Bugs (Alydidae)
    Chapter 18 Broad-Headed Bugs (Alydidae) Antônio R. Panizzi and Carl w. Schaefer Abstract The broad-headed bugs (Alydidae) are divided into two subfamilies, Alydinaeand Micrelytrinae, each divided into two tribes, Daclerini and Alydini, and Micrelytriniand Leptocorisini, respectively, The farnily has 53 genera and about 250 specieins; the Neotropics, there are 21 genera. Alydids are small (8-20 mm), slen- Itr,with a triangular head; nymphs of alydines mimic ants, the adults of some Micrelytrinialso rnirnic ants. The most studied species in the Neotropics is the aly- dineNeomegalotomus parvus (Westwood), usually associated with legumes, and maybe a pest on soybean. Other common genera include Hyalymenus Amyot & Serville,Stenocoris Burmeister, Cydamus Stâl, and Trachelium Herrich-Schâffer. Studieson taxonomy and bioecology on alydids of the Neotropics are needed. 18.1 Introduction AlydidaeAmyot and Serville, 1843, were treated as a subfarnily of the farnily Coreidaeand even as a tribe (Schaffner 1964); now it has been treated as a farnily, ~ether with Coreidae, Rhopalidae, Hyocephalidae, and Stenocephalidae, in the !UperfarniCoreoidealy (Schaefer 1964). Thisfarnily contains 53 genera and approximately 250 species, mostly tropical Irsubtropical,in all regions of the world. There are only two genera that span both dleOldand the New World, Alydus and Megalotomus. These genera are Holarctic, IInAlydus extends from Alaska through Canada into Mexico (Brailovsky and Flores 1979;Froeschner 1988; Maw et al. 2000). The genera of Alydinae have been revised by Schaffner (1964; 22 species worldwide);the world genera of the subfamily Micrelytrinae, tribe Leptocorisini, were CarlW.Schaefer: Author deceased at the time of publication A.RP.anizzi ([gJ) Laboratóriode Entomologia, Embrapa Trigo, Caixa Postal 3081, Passo Fundo, RS9900l-970,Brazil e-mail:[email protected] eSpringerScience-Business Media Dordrecht 2015 537 :I.R.Panizzi,J.
