Sehirus is a genus of burrowing bugs belonging to the family Cydnidae, subfamily Sehirinae. [2] [3]
These 15 species belong to the genus Sehirus:
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.
Delphacidae is a family of planthoppers containing about 2000 species, distributed worldwide. Delphacids are separated from other "hoppers" by the prominent spur on the tibia of the hindleg.
Cydnidae are a family of pentatomoid bugs, known by common names including burrowing bugs or burrower bugs. As the common name would suggest, many members of the group live a subterranean lifestyle, burrowing into soil using their head and forelegs, only emerging to mate and then laying their eggs in soil. Other members of the group are not burrowers, and live above the soil layer, often in close association with plants. Several species are known as agricultural pests.
Sehirinae is a subfamily of burrowing bugs belonging to the family Cydnidae.
Canthophorus is a genus of burrowing bugs in the family Cydnidae. There are about eight described species in Canthophorus.
Sehirus cinctus, also known as the white-margined burrower bug, is within the genus of burrowing bugs belonging to the family Cydnidae, subfamily Sehirinae. Belonging to the suborder Heteroptera, they are true bugs. They feed on plants in the Urticaceae (nettle) and Lamiaceae (mint) families. These bugs are somewhat unusual in that they exhibit brooding behavior. The female deposits eggs, about 120–150, in shallow burrows and watches over them. After the young hatch, the mother will bring food to them in the burrow for 1–3 days, after which the young will leave and forage on their own. Females can have up to two broods, and parental care is initiated from chemical cues in the eggs.
Lygaeinae is a subfamily of ground bugs in the insect family Lygaeidae.
Raglius is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are about 11 described species in Raglius.
Cydninae is a subfamily of burrowing bugs in the family Cydnidae. There are about 11 genera and at least 40 described species in Cydninae.
Podopinae, known as turtle bugs, are a subfamily of the insect family Pentatomidae. The type genus is Podops.
Pangaeus is a genus of burrowing bugs in the family Cydnidae. There are about 14 described species in Pangaeus.
Carpocorini is a tribe of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. There are more than 100 genera in Carpocorini.
Tominotus is a genus of burrowing bugs in the family Cydnidae. There are about 11 described species in Tominotus.
Rhyparochromus is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are more than 40 described species in Rhyparochromus.
Dicranocephalus is the sole genus of true bugs in the family Stenocephalidae. There are about 30 described species in the genus Dicranocephalus.
Geotomus is a genus of true bugs belonging to the family Cydnidae.
Byrsinus is a genus of burrowing bugs in the tribe Geotomini, erected by Franz Xaver Fieber in 1860. The species Byrsinus flavicornis is recorded from northern Europe including the British Isles.
