Graphosoma is a genus bugs in the family Pentatomidae. They are commonly known as striped shield bugs for their distinctive markings.
The Pentatomoidea are a superfamily of insects in the Heteroptera suborder of the Hemiptera order. As Hemiptera, they share a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts. The roughly 7000 species under Pentatomoidea are divided into 21 families. Among these are the stink bugs and shield bugs, jewel bugs, giant shield bugs, and burrower bugs.
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.
Scutelleridae is a family of true bugs. They are commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs due to their often brilliant coloration. They are also known as shield-backed bugs due to the enlargement of the thoracic scutellum into a continuous shield over the abdomen and wings. This latter characteristic distinguishes them from most other families within Heteroptera, and may lead to misidentification as a beetle rather than a bug. These insects feed on plant juices from a variety of different species, including some commercial crops. Closely related to stink bugs, they may also produce an offensive odour when disturbed. There are around 450 species worldwide.
The Pentatomomorpha comprise an infraorder of insects in the true bug order Hemiptera. It unites such animals as the stink bugs (Pentatomidae), flat bugs (Aradidae), seed bugs, etc. They are closely related to the Cimicomorpha.
Jumiles ;, are small stink bugs native to the Taxco region of the state of Guerrero in Mexico. Any edible Hemiptera from the families Coreidae or Pentatomidae may be considered jumiles as well. Their diet includes the leaves of the encina tree. Chumiles are a smaller, similar hemipteran of the same region. Both jumiles and chumiles are insects of the order Hemiptera and family Pentatomidae. Pentatomids are commonly called "stink bugs" in English. Both are used as food.
The green stink bug or green soldier bug is a stink bug of the family Pentatomidae.
Graphosoma italicum is a species of shield bug in the family Pentatomidae. It is also known as the Striped bug and Minstrel bug.
Graphosoma lineatum is a species of shield bug in the family Pentatomidae.
Loxa is an insect genus in the large family of shield bugs. It occurs primarily in Central America and Mexico, but is also found in Texas, Florida and South America. While Loxa is a genus of the tribe Pentatomini, its species are similar in many respects to those in the Chlorocorini, specifically the genera: ChlorocorisSpinola, ChloropeplaStål, MayriniaHorvath and FeceliaStål. Some species of Loxa are minor crop pests, for example Loxa deducta.
Tessaratomidae is a family of true bugs. It contains about 240 species of large bugs divided into 3 subfamilies and 56 genera.
Podopinae, known as turtle bugs, are a subfamily of the insect family Pentatomidae. The type genus is Podops.
Stephanitis is a genus of lace bugs in the family Tingidae. There are at least 90 described species in Stephanitis.
Tylospilus is a genus of predatory stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about five described species in Tylospilus.
Andrallus is a genus of predatory stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There is at least one described species in Andrallus, A. spinidens.
Oplomus is a genus of predatory stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about nine described species in Oplomus.
Heterocordylus is a genus of plant bugs in the family Miridae. There are about 19 described species in Heterocordylus.
Colobathristidae is a family of true bugs in the order Hemiptera. There are more than 20 genera and 90 described species in Colobathristidae.
Bagrada is a genus of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae.
Stenozygum is a genus of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. It is widely distributed in Australian-Melanesian, Oriental, Palearctic and Ethiopian regions.
Gynenica is a genus of stink bug with about fourteen species in the Afrotropical and Oriental regions. It is one of four genera placed in the tribe Lestonocorini along with Lestonocoris, Neogynenica, and Umgababa that occur in Africa and India and feed on plants in the family Acanthaceae. Bugs in the genus have the pronotum tips extended into forward and upward curving spines. The scutellum is longer than broad, the apex with a rounded point and not reaching beyond the middle of the abdomen.
