Stenocoris is a genus of rice bugs in the family Alydidae. There are more than 20 described species in Stenocoris, [1] [2] [3] found in Africa and the Americas, [4]
These 22 species belong to the genus Stenocoris:
Pyrrhocoridae is a family of insects with more than 300 species world-wide. Many are red coloured and are known as red bugs and some species are called cotton stainers because their feeding activities leave an indelible yellow-brownish stain on cotton crops. A common species in parts of Europe is the firebug, and its genus name Pyrrhocoris and the family name are derived from the Greek roots for fire "pyrrho-" and bug "coris". Members of this family are often confused with, but can be quickly separated from, Lygaeidae by the lack of ocelli on the top of the head.
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.
Leptoglossus is a genus of true bugs in the leaf-footed bug family and the tribe Anisoscelini. Species are distributed throughout the Americas, with some records in eastern & southern Asia and Europe. Several species are economic pests of agricultural crops. Like members of some other genera in the family, these bugs have leaflike dilations of the hind tibia. Several species are of economic importance, and one species, L. chilensis, has been reported to bite humans.
Dysdercus is a widespread genus of true bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae; a number of species attacking cotton bolls may be called "cotton stainers".
Dalader is the type genus of coreid bugs in the Daladerini tribe. Species in the genus are distributed in tropical Asia, chiefly Southeast Asia. The genus name is derived from the Sanskrit roots dal meaning leaf and dhru which means bearer. This plant bug genus is distinguished by the which preterminal antennal segment being flattened, pear-shaped, and ridged and the terminal segment being paler. Chalcidoid egg parasites have been recorded from this species. Adults of Dalader acuticosta are fried and eaten in northeastern India.
Eteoneus is a genus of lace bugs in the family Tingidae. There are at least 20 described species in Eteoneus.
Stephanitis is a genus of lace bugs in the family Tingidae. There are at least 90 described species in Stephanitis.
Niesthrea is a genus of scentless plant bugs in the family Rhopalidae. There are about 13 described species in Niesthrea.
Pentacora is a genus of shore bugs in the family Saldidae. There are about 12 described species in Pentacora.
Macrocephalus is a genus of ambush bugs in the family Reduviidae. There are more than 30 described species in Macrocephalus.
Lyctocoris is a genus of true bugs in the family Lyctocoridae. There are about 15 described species in Lyctocoris.
Vazquezitocoris is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. There are about 14 described species in Vazquezitocoris.
Cantacaderinae is a subfamily of lace bugs in the family Tingidae. There are about 16 genera and at least 90 described species in Cantacaderinae.
Neomegalotomus is a genus of broad-headed bugs in the family Alydidae. There are at least two described species in Neomegalotomus.
Stenocoris furcifera is a species of broad-headed bug in the family Alydidae. It is found in Central America, North America, and South America.
Stenocoris tipuloides, the neotropical rice bug, is a species of broad-headed bug in the family Alydidae. It is found in South America and North America.
Riptortus is a genus of broad-headed bugs in the family Alydidae. There are more than 20 described species in Riptortus.
Leptocorisa is a genus of broad-headed bugs in the family Alydidae. There are about 17 described species in Leptocorisa, some of which are known as "rice bugs" or gundhi bugs ; they are found in south and east Asia and in Oceania.
