Acanthosoma is a genus of shield bugs in the family Acanthosomatidae, found in Europe, Asia, and Oceania. There are more than 20 described species in Acanthosoma. [1] [2]
These species belong to the genus Acanthosoma:
The Pentatomoidea are a superfamily of insects in the Heteroptera suborder of the Hemiptera order. As Hemiptera, they share a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts. The roughly 7000 species under Pentatomoidea are divided into 21 families. Among these are the stink bugs and shield bugs, jewel bugs, giant shield bugs, and burrower bugs.
Pentatomidae is a family of insects belonging to the order Hemiptera, generally called shield bugs or stink bugs. Pentatomidae is the largest family in the superfamily Pentatomoidea, and contains around 900 genera and over 4700 species. As hemipterans, the pentatomids have piercing sucking mouthparts, and most are phytophagous, including several species which are severe pests on agricultural crops. However, some species, particularly in the subfamily Asopinae, are predatory and may be considered beneficial.
Pentatominae is a subfamily of Pentatomidae, a family of shield bugs. This subfamily is the largest one within the Pentatomidae, having 4937 species classified in 938 genera. Species in this subfamily are phytophages and several of them are considered agricultural pests. Some invasive pentatomines such as Halyomorpha halys and Bagrada hilaris have been considered household pests. Higher systematics of the group have been revised by Rider et al.
Acanthosomatidae is a family of Hemiptera, commonly named "shield bugs" or "stink bugs", for which Kumar in his 1979 world revision recognized 47 genera; now this number is 55 genera, with about 200 species, and is one of the least diversified families within Pentatomoidea. The Acanthosomatidae species are found throughout the world, with the majority in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
The Lygaeidae are a family in the Hemiptera, with more than 110 genera in four subfamilies. The family is commonly referred to as seed bugs, and less commonly, milkweed bugs, or ground bugs. However, while many of the species feed on seeds, some feed on sap (mucivory) or seed pods, others are omnivores and a few, such as the wekiu bug, are carnivores that feed exclusively on insects. Insects in this family are distributed across the world. The family was vastly larger, but numerous former subfamilies have been removed and given independent family status, including the Artheneidae, Blissidae, Cryptorhamphidae, Cymidae, Geocoridae, Heterogastridae, Ninidae, Oxycarenidae and Rhyparochromidae, which together constituted well over half of the former family.
Macrotylus is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are at least 60 described species in Macrotylus.
The Dinidoridae are a small family of insects comprising about a hundred species in sixteen genera in the Hemipteran suborder Heteroptera, the "true bugs". As a group the family does not have any common name. Until the late 19th century they were generally regarded as a subfamily of the Pentatomidae.
Orthops is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are at least 30 described species in Orthops.
Graptostethus is a genus in the insect family Lygaeidae. Although originally restricted to the Old World some species like G. servus have spread to parts of the New World.
Perillus is a genus of predatory stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about seven described species in Perillus.
Elasmostethus is a genus of shield bugs belonging to the family Acanthosomatidae.
Lygaeus is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. There are more than 60 described species in Lygaeus.
Podopinae, known as turtle bugs, are a subfamily of the insect family Pentatomidae. The type genus is Podops.
Weda is a genus of turtle bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are at least three described species in Weda.
Acalypta is a genus of lace bugs in the family Tingidae. This genus is closely related to Dictyonota, Kalama and Derephysia: in the tribe Tingini.
Salda is a genus of shore bugs in the family Saldidae. There are about 18 described species in Salda.
Chlorocoris is a genus of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about six described species in Chlorocoris.
Carpocorini is a tribe of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are more than 100 genera in Carpocorini.
Phimodera is a genus of shield-backed bugs in the family Scutelleridae. There are about 11 described species in Phimodera.
Galeatus is a genus of lace bugs in the family Tingidae. There are about 18 described species in Galeatus.
