Liorhyssus hyalinus is a species of scentless plant bugs belonging to the family Rhopalidae, subfamily Rhopalinae.
This species can be found in most of Europe, [11] in Africa, Australia, Northern Asia, Middle America, North America, Oceania, South America and Southern Asia. [12]
Liorhyssus hyalinus can reach a length of 6.5–7.5 millimetres (0.26–0.30 in). [13] The basic body color varies from yellow-brown to red, but the upperside of the abdomen is mainly dark. This species can be distinguished by the length of the hyaline membrane of the hemelytra, which extends beyond the black upperside of the abdomen. There are two black spots at the extremity of the pronotum. These bugs are rather similar to Rhopalus and Stictopleurus species. [13]
Adults are present all year around. As the whole Rhopalidae family, this species a plant feeder. It mainly feeds on Compositae and Erodium species. [13]
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. With the name based on the Asian genus Scutellera, 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.
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.
Nysius is a genus of false chinch bugs in the family Lygaeidae. At least 100 described species are placed in Nysius.
Alydidae, commonly known as broad-headed bugs, is a family of true bugs very similar to the closely related Coreidae. There are at least 60 genera and 300 species altogether. Distributed in the temperate and warmer regions of the Earth, most are tropical and subtropical animals; for example Europe has a mere 10 species, and only 2 of these occur outside the Mediterranean region.
Rhynocoris is a genus of assassin bug, family (Reduviidae), in the subfamily Harpactorinae. Species are recorded from Asia, mainland Europe, Africa and North America.
Liorhyssus is a genus of scentless plant bugs belonging to the family Rhopalidae, subfamily Rhopalinae.
Ischnodemus is a genus in the true bug family Blissidae. The review by Slater (1979) listed 95 species. The genus is found in all major zoogeographic regions, being most abundant on various species of Gramineae. The bodies of the adults are moderately to very elongated. The genus name was coined to refer to this slenderness, from the Greek ἰσχνόσ (ischnos) "feeble" and δέμασ (demas) "body".
Dysdercus is a widespread genus of true bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae; a number of species attacking cotton bolls may be called "cotton stainers".
Rhopalinae is a subfamily of scentless plant bugs in the family Rhopalidae. There are more than 170 described species in Rhopalinae.
Coranus is a genus of assassin bugs in the tribe Harpactorini.
Acalypta is a genus of lace bugs in the family Tingidae. This genus is closely related to Dictyonota, Kalama and Derephysia: in the tribe Tingini.
Nerthra is a genus of toad bugs in the family Gelastocoridae. There are at least 90 described species in Nerthra.
Niesthrea is a genus of scentless plant bugs in the family Rhopalidae. There are about 13 described species in Niesthrea.
Temnostethus is a genus of minute pirate bugs in the family Anthocoridae. There are about eight described species in Temnostethus.
Dicranocephalus is the sole genus of true bugs in the family Stenocephalidae. There are about 30 described species in the genus Dicranocephalus.
Podops is a genus of Palaearctic bugs, in the family Pentatomidae; it is the type genus of the subfamily Podopinae and tribe Podopini. Species are recorded from Europe and includes the type species P. inunctus, which can be found in the British Isles.
