Eysarcoris is a genus of shield bugs belonging to the family Pentatomidae, subfamily Pentatominae, [2] [3] and typical of the tribe Eysarcorini.

Description

Stink bugs of this genus are relatively small (<6 mm in length) and obovate in shape. There is a dense covering of punctures on much of the body. The head and the ventral surface of the thorax are covered with club-shaped hairs. [4]

Eysarcoris belongs to a group of stink bugs (also including Sepontia , Spermatodes and Stagonomus ) which have a broad scutellum and an auriculate/spine-like process anterior to the scent gland opening, and do not have a median sulcus in the thoracic sterna. [4]

Ecology

Eysarcoris are herbivores that live on various plants. [4]

Some Eysarcoris are plant pests: E. guttiger is a pest of soybean and sesame, [5] while E. trimaculatus and E. ventralis are pests of rice. [6]

Research

The mitochondrial genomes of various Eysarcoris species have been sequenced. [7] [8] [9]
