Amaurochrous brevitylus is a species of turtle bug in the family Pentatomidae. [1] [2] [3] [4] It is found in North America. [1]
Geocoris is a genus of insects in the family Geocoridae. Commonly known as big-eyed bugs, the species in Geocoris are beneficial predators, but are often confused with the true chinch bug, which is a pest. There are more than 140 described species in Geocoris.
The insect family Nabidae contains the damsel bugs. There are over 500 species in 20 genera. They are soft-bodied, elongate, winged terrestrial predators. Many damsel bugs catch and hold prey with their forelegs, similar to mantids. They are considered helpful species in agriculture because of their predation on many types of crop pests.
Anthocoridae is a family of bugs, commonly called minute pirate bugs or flower bugs. Worldwide there are 500-600 species.
Berytidae is a family of the order Hemiptera, commonly called stilt bugs or thread bugs. Most berytids are brown to yellow, with species that are plant sap feeders, a few being predaceous. About 200 species are known from all around the world and they are classified into three subfamilies.
Anthribidae is a family of beetles also known as fungus weevils. The antennae are not elbowed, may occasionally be longer than the body and thread-like, and can be the longest of any members of Curculionoidea. As in the Nemonychidae, the labrum appears as a separate segment to the clypeus, and the maxillary palps are long and projecting.
Myopsocidae is a family of mouse-like barklice, belonging to the infraorder Psocetae of the order Psocodea. This family is closely related to Psocidae, with which it shares similar wing-venation, but from which it is distinguished by three-segmented tarsi.
Oberea is a genus of longhorn beetles, most of which are stem borers of various plants, including blackberries and their relatives.
Clivina is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Nearctic, the Near East and North Africa. There are more than 600 described species in Clivina.
Sphindidae is a family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga. They are called the cryptic slime mold beetles due to their exclusive feeding on slime molds during adult and larval stages, other aspects of their life history are obscure.
The Stenopodainae are a subfamily of Reduviidae. Often cryptically coloured, with prominent mandibular plates, antennal segment 1 generally strongly developed, remaining segments slender and often folded back under the first; hemelytron typically with large pentagonal or hexagonal cell in the corium. Approximately 113 genera are described, with most species found in the tropics. Many species are associated with soil or sand, and many are apterous.
Lixus is a genus of true weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae, raised by the Danish entomologist, Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775. There are at least 950 described species in Lixus.
Chrysobothris is a genus of metallic wood-boring beetles in the family Buprestidae. There are at least 690 described species in Chrysobothris.
The Aphrophoridae or spittlebugs are a family of insects belonging to the order Hemiptera. There are at least 160 genera and 990 described species in Aphrophoridae.
Trachyderini is a tribe of long-horned beetles in the family Cerambycidae. There are at least 140 genera and 650 described species in Trachyderini.
Schizopteridae is the largest family in the infraorder Dipsocoromorpha and comprises 56 genera and approximately 255 species. Schizopterids are some of the smallest (0.5–2.0 mm) true bugs. Members of this family can be distinguished by their small size, enlarged forecoxae and varying degree of abdominal and genitalic asymmetry in males. Schizopteridae exhibit a wide range of simple and complex wing venation patterns. The group is currently divided into three subfamilies: Schizopterinae, Ogeriinae and Hypselosomatinae.
Agapetus is a genus of little black caddisflies of the family Glossosomatidae. There are at least 210 described species in Agapetus.
Valenzuela is a genus of psocoptera in the family Caeciliusidae, the lizard barklice. Some species are extinct and date to the Eocene of Poland or Russia. There are at least 300 described species in Valenzuela.
Amaurochrous is a genus of turtle bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about six described species in Amaurochrous.
Amaurochrous dubius is a species of turtle bug in the family Pentatomidae. It is found in the Caribbean, Central America, and North America.
Amaurochrous vanduzeei is a species of turtle bug in the family Pentatomidae. It is found in North America.
