Coriomeris affinis is a species of bug in the genus Coriomeris . [1] [2]
When the species was originally described it was found in Portugal. Recent observations show a distribution that spans the countries around the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. [3]
The species was originally described by its basionym Coreus affinis by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer but has since then been classified under the genus Coriomeris . [4] [5] The original description notes that the species has a purplish cinnamon-colored appearance, with the third and fourth segments of the antennae being of equal length. The fifth segment is almost thicker. The sides of the shield have multiple small teeth, while the back has two white teeth. Since its original description, the species has been reclassified and described leading to many taxonomic synonyms:
This species is very similar to C. pilicornis, but is slightly larger. The last segment of the antenna is as long as the penultimate segment and somewhat thicker. The color of Coriomeris affinis is much more vivid, cinnamon-red, with a lighter, yellowish underside and four front legs.
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.
Carl Wilhelm Hahn was a German zoologist and author of the first German monograph on spiders. C. W. Hahn was an all-round natural scientist – not at all unusual for his time. Surprisingly, he seems to have been almost forgotten. Even the few biographical dates that have been published in secondary literature are not always correct as clarified by P. Sacher in his "attempt at a Biography".
Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer was a German entomologist and physician. He was born, and died, in Regensburg. Herrich-Schäffer studied and collected particularly butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera).
