A morphological study on the cocoon of Bicyrtes variegatus (Oliver, 1789) is presented based specimens collected in Center-West Brazil. Notes nesting habitat provided. Euschistus heros (Fabricius, 1798) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) recorded as prey, and Traumatomutilla ocellaris (Klug, 1821) (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae) parasitoid.

The antibiotic streptomycin added to the drinking water at a concentration of 125 mg/ l during nymphal development of Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)accelerated the development in ca. 2 days, increased survivorship, and doubled adult longevity; nymph survivorship and adult body weight were not affected when compared to control insects. Streptomycin has potential in rearing N. v...

This study provides data on the first known established populations of two allochthonous species in Romania, Mustha spinosula and Perillus bioculatus. Overwintering, host plants distribution these pentatomids (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) are briefly discussed. We also provide information color variation nymphs report a new plant for this species.

A pentatomid bug,Degonetus serratus (Distant) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) was found infesting on teak plants during a field visit to forest areas of Tapi district, South Gujarat, The infestation sporadic along the river side plantation. This paper presents first report occurrence D. and its from Gujarat.

The chorionic structure of sixteen pentatomid species is described. Morphological patterns in different taxonomic levels are discussed. In addition, egg characters useful in cladistic analyses are listed, and some of those characters are tested for congruence with two cladistic analyses previously conducted within Pentatomidae. Descriptive studies were conducted with Banasa induta, Capivaccius ...

Native and invasive stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and the closely related invasive Megacopta cribraria (Hemiptera: Plataspidae) are agricultural pests in the southeastern United States. Natural enemies, from various phyla, parasitize these pests and contribute to population regulation. We specifically investigated Nematoda infections in pentatomid and plataspid pests in one soybean field...
