Cephaloplatus is a genus of shield bugs in the tribe Carpocorini.
Carpocorini is a tribe of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about 15 genera and at least 50 described species in Carpocorini.
Acanthosomatidae is a family of Hemiptera, commonly named "shield 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 subfamily Aphaeninae is a group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics. They belong to the Fulgoridae (fulgorids), though they are not among the more well-known members of that family which are called "lantern bugs" or "lantern flies". In 2009, the first molecular analysis of the Fulgoridae, challenged the existing structure of eight currently recognized subfamilies, and eleven tribes.
Platymeris is a genus of assassin bug (Reduviidae). Platymeris species are often used in laboratories and as pets. The venom of this genus has been studied in a laboratory setting.
Harpactorini is a tribe of the Harpactorinae. This group is the most diverse of the entire assassin bug family, with 51 genera recognized in the Neotropical Region and 289 genera and 2003 species overall.
Dulichius inflatus is an ant mimic bug in the family Alydidae that is found mainly in southern India and Sri Lanka. It is said to live in the nests of ants Polyrhachis lacteipennis which it morphologically resembles.
Sycanus is a genus of assassin bug with many species that are found in the African and Asian region.
Ischnodemus is a genus in the true bug family Blissidae,. The review by Slater (1979) listed 95 species. The genus is found in all major zoogeographic regions, being most abundant on various species of Gramineae. The bodies of the adults are moderately to very elongated. The genus name was coined to refer to this slenderness, from Greek ἰσχνόσ (ischnos) "feeble" and δέμασ (demas) "body".
Probergrothius is an Old World genus of true bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae. The genus was previously referred to as "Odontopus", but that name was already in use for a genus of weevils, and was therefore replaced by Probergrothius in 1904. Members of this genus are reported to feed mainly on members of the plant order Malvales, including Sterculia, Baobab (Adansonia), and Kapok, but will feed on others as well. The Welwitschia bug, Probergrothius angolensis, feeds on Welwitschia seeds, which is a gymnosperm, unlike the Malvales, which are angiosperms.
Cymus is a genus of true bugs in the family Cymidae. There are at least 40 described species in Cymus.
Halyomorpha is a genus of insects in the family Pentatomidae.
Lampromicra is a genus of true bugs in the family Scutelleridae. They are commonly referred to as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs.
Aneurus is a genus of flat bugs in the family Aradidae. There are at least 20 described species in Aneurus.
Neopamera is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are about 16 described species in Neopamera.
Botocudo is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are at least 30 described species in Botocudo.
Proba is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are at least 20 described species in Proba.
Metacanthus is a genus of stilt bugs in the family Berytidae. There are at least 20 described species in Metacanthus.
Cylapus is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are about 12 described species in Cylapus.
The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is a free, online collaborative encyclopedia intended to document all of the 1.9 million living species known to science. It is compiled from existing databases and from contributions by experts and non-experts throughout the world. It aims to build one "infinitely expandable" page for each species, including video, sound, images, graphics, as well as text. In addition, the Encyclopedia incorporates content from the Biodiversity Heritage Library, which digitizes millions of pages of printed literature from the world's major natural history libraries. The project was initially backed by a US$50 million funding commitment, led by the MacArthur Foundation and the Sloan Foundation, who provided US$20 million and US$5 million, respectively. The additional US$25 million came from five cornerstone institutions—the Field Museum, Harvard University, the Marine Biological Laboratory, the Missouri Botanical Garden, and the Smithsonian Institution. The project was initially led by Jim Edwards and the development team by David Patterson. Today, participating institutions and individual donors continue to support EOL through financial contributions.
