Pygolampis is a genus of assassin bugs in the family Reduviidae. More than 90 species have been described worldwide [1] [2] [3]
These 91 species belong to the genus Pygolampis:
Five of these species have been observed in Vietnam: Pygolampis angusta, Pygolampis foeda, Pygolampis rufescens, Pygolampis simulipes, and Pygolampis tuberosa. [4]
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.
Coreinae is a subfamily in the hemipteran family Coreidae. They have been shown to be paraphyletic with respect to Meropachyinae.
Platymeris is a genus of assassin bug (Reduviidae). Platymeris species are often used in laboratories and as pets.
The Harpactorinae are a large subfamily of the Reduviidae. About 300 genera and 2,000 species worldwide have been described. Some of the species of the genera Zelus, Pselliopus, Sinea, and Apiomerus are of interest as biological pest control agents.
Sphedanolestes is a large genus of assassin bugs in the family (Reduviidae), subfamily Harpactorinae. There are more than 190 described species, which are found in southern Europe, Africa and Asia.
Rhynocoris is a genus of assassin bug, family (Reduviidae), in the subfamily Harpactorinae. Species are recorded from Asia, mainland Europe, Africa and North America.
The Stenopodainae are a subfamily of Reduviidae. Many species of this subfamily are endemic to tropical rainforests, and some smear their fore legs with sticky, plant-derived resin, to aid in prey capture.
The Reduviinae are a subfamily of the reduviid assassin bugs. Many members of the subfamily are nocturnal and their lifecycles are generally poorly known. This subfamily is suspected not to be monophyletic.
Antestia is a genus of African and Asian bugs in the subfamily Pentatominae, erected by Carl Stål, 1865.
LopodytesRondani 1867 is a genus in the family Reduviidae, the assassin bugs. Members of the genus have been unofficially assigned the common name grass assassin bugs, but generally this name remains meaningful only to naturalists, because these insects have been too well camouflaged to raise robust public awareness.
Glymmatophora, the Metallic Assassin Bugs, is a genus of assassin bugs belonging to the family Reduviidae.
Coranus is a genus of assassin bugs in the tribe Harpactorini.
Cymus is a genus of true bugs in the family Cymidae. There are at least 40 described species in Cymus.
Sirthenea is a genus of corsairs in the family Reduviidae. There are at least 40 described species in Sirthenea.
Nagusta is a genus of Murder bugs in the family Reduviidae.
Epidaus is a genus of assassin bugs with about 25 species mainly distributed mainly in the Oriental Realm with two species which extend into the Palearctic Realm. Most species have a long and narrow body with the pronotum having a posterior margin with raised corners and spiny outgrowths facing outwards. The head a tubercle behind the base of each of the two antennae.
Petalocheirus is a genus of assassin bugs in the subfamily Salyavatinae. Species in the genus have a leaf-like broadening of the foretibia, and many species are known to be predators of termites. The genus is distributed in the tropics of Africa and Asia and species in apparently closely related genera such as Platychira may need further examination.
Scotinophara is a genus of shield bugs in the tribe Podopini. At least 63 species have a widespread distribution in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
The Mictini are a tribe of leaf-footed bugs, in the subfamily Coreinae erected by Amyot & Serville in 1843. Genera are distributed from Africa to South-East Asia.
