Plinthisus is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are around 100 described species in Plinthisus. [1] [2] [3]
The Reduviidae are a large cosmopolitan family of the order Hemiptera. Among the Hemiptera and together with the Nabidae almost all species are terrestrial ambush predators: most other predatory Hemiptera are aquatic. The main examples of nonpredatory Reduviidae are some blood-sucking ectoparasites in the subfamily Triatominae. Though spectacular exceptions are known, most members of the family are fairly easily recognizable; they have a relatively narrow neck, sturdy build, and formidable curved proboscis. Large specimens should be handled with caution, if at all, because they sometimes defend themselves with a very painful stab from the proboscis.
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.
Homalonychus is a genus of araneomorph spiders, and is the only genus in the family Homalonychidae. It was first described by George Marx in 1891. As of May 2019 it contains only three species: H. raghavai, H. selenopoides, and H. theologus. Two are found in the southern United States and Mexico: H. theologus is mostly found west of the Colorado River, while H. selenopoides is mostly found to the east, with some populations in Death Valley and near Mercury, Nevada.
Schinia, commonly called flower moths, is a large genus of moths belonging to the family Noctuidae. The genus has a Holarctic distribution with the vast majority of species being found in North America, many with a very restricted range and larval food plant.
Berytidae is a family of the order Hemiptera, commonly called stilt bugs or thread bugs.
The Rhyparochromidae are a large family of true bugs, many of which are commonly referred to as seed bugs. The family includes two subfamilies, more than 420 genera, and over 2,100 described species.
A woodlouse is a crustacean from the monophyletic suborder Oniscidea within the isopods. This name is descriptive of their being found in old wood.

Rhyparochrominae is a subfamily of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are more than 410 genera and 2,000 described species in Rhyparochrominae.
Capnia is a genus of small winter stoneflies in the family Capniidae. There are at least 120 described species in Capnia.
Holopedium is the sole genus of water fleas in the family Holopediidae. There are about seven described species in Holopedium.
Plinthisus martini is a species of dirt-colored seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae. It is found in North America.
Rhyparochromus vulgaris is a species of dirt-colored seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae. It is found in Africa, Europe and Northern Asia, North America, and Southern Asia. This bug was first recorded in North America in 2001.
Rhyparochromus is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are more than 40 described species in Rhyparochromus.
Plinthisinae is a subfamily of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae, containing only two genera. Bosbequius is monotypic genus with the single species Bosbequius latus. The other, Plinthisus, has more than 100 species.
Phasmosomus is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae, the sole genus in the tribe Phasmosomini. There are at least two described species in Phasmosomus.
