Sphaeroma quadridentatum, the sea pill bug, is a species of isopod in the family Sphaeromatidae. [1] [2] [3]
Iais is a genus of isopod crustaceans. Iais species are found in association with larger isopods of the family Sphaeromatidae, usually on the ventral surface of the larger animal, between the pereiopods and on the pleopods. They are native to Australasia and South America, although Iais californica and its host Sphaeroma quoyanum have invaded California, and I. californica was first described from Sausalito, California. Nine species are recognised:
Sphaeroma terebrans is a mangrove-boring isopod that was first documented in the United States as early as 1897. It is 8–10 millimetres (0.31–0.39 in) long, and is thought to have been introduced by wooden-hulled ships. The isopod is found throughout the Gulf of Mexico mainly in mangrove swamps of Louisiana and Florida. S. terebrans will also bore into boats, wooden pilings and other wooden structures.
Sphaeroma is a genus of aquatic isopod crustaceans, part of the family Sphaeromatidae.
Eosentomon quadridentatum is a species of proturan in the family Eosentomidae. It is found in North America.
Sphaeroma papillae is a species of isopod in the family Sphaeromatidae known from southern New England. It was described from Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island in 1938 and has since then been found in other locations on the north shores of Long Island and Cape Cod. It can be told from the similar Sphaeroma quadridentatum by the presence of two tubercles on the telson and the unserrated outer margin of the outer uropod branch. This species tends to be found in places of the intertidal zone where there is a direct influence with fresh water, such as seeps and pond outlets.
Phloeosinus scopulorum is a species of crenulate bark beetle in the family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
Spilomyia foxleei is a species of syrphid fly in the family Syrphidae.
Ectecephala laticornis is a species of grass fly in the family Chloropidae.
Gymnocarena bicolor is a species of fruit fly in the family Tephritidae.
Opilioacarus texanus is a species of mite in the family Opilioacaridae.
Aradus implanus is a species of flat bug in the family Aradidae. It is found in North America.
Nausigaster texana is a species of syrphid fly in the family Syrphidae.
Mamurius is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are at least two described species in Mamurius.
Geocoris bullatus, the large big-eyed bug, is a species of big-eyed bug in the family Geocoridae. It is found in North America.
Lygaeus turcicus, the false milkweed bug, is a species of seed bug in the family Lygaeidae. It is found in Eastern North America.
Plinthisus brevipennis is a species of dirt-colored seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae. It is found in Africa and Europe & Northern Asia.
Geocoris punctipes, the big-eye bug, is a species of big-eyed bug in the family Geocoridae. It is found in the Caribbean, Central America, North America, Oceania, and South America.
Scolopostethus thomsoni is a species of dirt-colored seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae. It is found in Africa, Europe & Northern Asia, and North America.
Paurocoris is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are at least two described species in Paurocoris.
Leptoglossus gonagra, known as the passionvine bug, citron bug or squash bug in different parts of its range, is a species of leaf-footed bug in the family Coreidae. It is found in Africa, the Caribbean, Central America, North America, South America, Southern Asia, the Pacific Ocean and Oceania.
