Crompus is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. Crompus are terrestrial insects in the Ischnorhynchinae subfamily of seed bugs that are endemic to Australia. [1] There are three described species in Crompus. [1] [2]
These three species belong to the genus Crompus:
The Lygaeoidea are a sizeable superfamily of true bugs, containing seed bugs and allies, in the order Hemiptera. There are about 16 families and more than 4,600 described species in Lygaeoidea, found worldwide. Most feed on seeds or sap, but a few are predators.
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.
Nysius aa is a species of wēkiu bug endemic to the area around the summit of Mauna Loa, on the island of Hawaiʻi. It is closely related to Nysius wekiuicola, which is another species of wēkiu bug endemic to the nearby Mauna Kea.
Nysius is a genus of false chinch bugs in the family Lygaeidae. At least 100 described species are placed in Nysius.
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.
Oedancala dorsalis is an insect, found in the superfamily Lygaeoidea which is one of the largest varied family of Heteroptera of Hemiptera. Seed bugs are a very diverse family of seed feeders found on various types of vegetation. There are four Nearctic species in this genus. O. bimaculate and O. cubana are neotropical species that barely make it into the United States.
Arocatus melanocephalus, the elm seed bug, is a true bug in the family Lygaeidae. The species was initially described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1798, and Maximilian Spinola designated it to be the type species of the genus Arocatus in 1837. This bug is native to Europe but has been introduced to North America.
Neacoryphus is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. There are about five described species in Neacoryphus.
Neortholomus is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. There are about nine described species in Neortholomus.
Kleidocerys is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. There are about 17 described species in Kleidocerys.
Oncopeltus is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae, which has at least 40 described species.
Melanopleurus is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. There are more than 20 described species in the genus Melanopleurus.
Xyonysius is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. There are about eight described species in Xyonysius.
Belonochilus is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. There is one described species in Belonochilus, B. numenius, the sycamore seed bug, making it a monotypic genus.
Ischnorhynchinae is a subfamily of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. There are about 16 genera and more than 70 described species in Ischnorhynchinae. The members of this subfamily are small, terrestrial insects that typically translucent or transparent plate-like structures covering the thorax (pronota) and tend to live in plant flowers.
Melacoryphus is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. There are about 11 described species in Melacoryphus, found in Central and North America.
Anochrostomus is a genus of seed bugs in the family Lygaeidae. There are at least two described species in Anochrostomus.
Crompus opacus is a species of seed bug in the family Lygaeidae. It is a terrestrial insect found only in Australia. Crompus opacus is not currently listed under the Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1976 in the Northern Territory of Australia.
Nysius graminicola is a species of seed bug in the subfamily Orsillinae and in the family Lygaeidae.
