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.
Pentatominae is a subfamily of Pentatomidae, a family of shield bugs. This subfamily is the largest one within the Pentatomidae, having 4937 species classified in 938 genera. Species in this subfamily are phytophages and several of them are considered agricultural pests. Some invasive pentatomines such as Halyomorpha halys and Bagrada hilaris have been considered household pests. Higher systematics of the group have been revised by Rider et al.
The Cimicomorpha are an infraorder of insects in the order Hemiptera, the true bugs. The rostrum and other morphology of all members apparently is adapted to feeding on animals as their prey or hosts. Members include bed bugs, bat bugs, assassin bugs, and pirate bugs.
Holcostethus is a genus of shield bugs belonging to the family Pentatomidae, subfamily Pentatominae.
Dinidoridae is a small family of hemipteran "true bugs" comprising about sixteen genera and a hundred species the Hemiptera suborder Heteroptera. As a group the family does not have any common name. Until the late 19th century they were generally regarded as a subfamily of Pentatomidae.
Pentatomini is a tribe of shield bugs in the subfamily of Pentatominae.
Perillus is a genus of predatory stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about seven described species in Perillus.
Sciocorini is a tribe of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae.
Podopinae, known as turtle bugs, are a subfamily of the insect family Pentatomidae. The type genus is Podops.
Mormidea is a genus of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about five described species in Mormidea.
Oebalus is a genus of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about six described species in Oebalus.
Carpocorini is a tribe of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are more than 100 genera in Carpocorini.
Mecidea is a genus of narrow stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about eight described species in Mecidea. Species within this genus feed on grasses like Sideoats grama and there have been some record of this genus eating Asteraceae. They are the only genus within the Mecideini taxonomic tribe to live in the New world.
Thyanta is a genus of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about 19 described species in Thyanta.
Lineostethus tenebricornis is a species of stink bug in the family Pentatomidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Phimodera is a genus of shield-backed bugs, typical of the tribe Phimoderini. Species in Phimodera have been recorded from Africa, Europe and North America.
Neottiglossa is a genus of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about 10 described species in Neottiglossa.
Tylospilus is a genus of predatory stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are about five described species in Tylospilus.
Thyanta pallidovirens, the red-shouldered stink bug, is a species of stink bug in the family Pentatomidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
The Discocephalinae are a subfamily of shield bugs, erected by Fieber in 1860, and found mostly in the Americas.
