Herbivorous hemiptera (Pentatomomorpha II, Heteroptera) Baum grove, Almaty

Abstract

The article presents the results of field studies conducted on herbivorous hemiptera in 2022-2023 in the Baum grove in Almaty. As a result of the research, 33 species of herbivorous hemiptera belonging to 6 families of the infraorder Pentatomomorpha II were identified. Among them, the predominant families in terms of species composition are Pentatomidae (15 species, 45%), Acanthosomatidae (6 species, 18%), Cydnidae (6 species, 18%), Scutelleridae (3 species, 9%), of the remaining families only 1-2 species are known. Depending on the habitat, hemiptera were divided into the following groups: herpetobionts (5 species), geo-herpetobionts (3 species), hortobionts (14 species), dendro-hortobionts (1 species), dendro-tamno-hortobionts (1 species), dendro-tamnobionts (5 species), dendrobionts (3 types). According to ecological features, they are divided into mesophiles (31 species), mesoxerophiles (1 species), hygromesophiles (1 species). According to the trophic connection, they were divided into the following groups: wide oligophytophages (11 species), narrow oligophytophages (3 species), polyphytophages (19 species). According to the number of generations per year, all species of hemiptera of the Baum grove can be divided into 2 groups: monovoltine (31 species) and bivoltine (2 species). In most species, winter diapause occurs at the imago stage (31 species), larvae (2 species).
