“…In India, the mass multiplication of Asopinae predatory stink bugs, such as A. spinidens and E. furcellata, is an essential component of sustainable pest management strategies in agriculture. In India, where sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices are increasingly important, the mass multiplication of Asopinae predatory stink bugs plays a pivotal role in natural pest control, and promoting a balanced ecosystem within agricultural landscapes [6]. The present study was undertaken about seasonal diversity and abundance of stink bugs under field conditions.…”

The aim of the present study was to investigate the seasonal abundance of Asopinae predatory stink bugs within an agro-ecosystem. This research was carried out by utilizing sweep nets to collect these insects during the period spanning from May to August in the year 2022. The survey yielded two prominent species of predaceous bugs, specifically Andrallus spinidens and Eocanthecona furcellata. Interestingly, E. furcellata emerged as the dominant species within the field conditions. A noteworthy phenomenon occurred in June when a sudden surge in the population of both species was observed. This population increase was attributed to the presence of lepidopteran larvae in the field, which likely served as a rich food source for these predatory stink bugs. The ecological analysis revealed some important findings regarding the diversity and distribution of these insects in the agro-ecosystem. Specifically, the Shannon Diversity Index was notably low, registering at less than 1.99, indicating a limited variety of species within the sampled population. Similarly, the Simpson Index indicated a low degree of diversity or heterogeneity, falling within the range of 0.01 to 0.04, which further supports the notion of a relatively homogeneous population. Additionally, the Margalef Richness Index signalled a level of disturbance, measuring less than 2.05. This disturbance could be linked to various factors affecting the ecosystem, including changes in agricultural practices or environmental conditions. Lastly, the Dominance Index was relatively high, ranging between 0.5 and 1.0, signifying that a few dominant species, particularly E. furcellata, exerted a significant influence within the ecosystem. In summary, the ecological indices suggested limited diversity, low heterogeneity, disturbance, and dominance within the stink bug population, shedding light on the dynamics of these beneficial insects in the agro-ecosystem.

We provide corrections to 17 recent papers (published since 2013). The following new combination is proposed: Dabessus indicus Kushwaha and Jahan, 2023 = Neojurtina indica (Kushwaha and Jahan, 2023), new combination. The following corrections are provided: Miridae: Tytthus chinensis sensu Al-Anbaki et al. (2023) = Maurodactylus nigrigenis (Reuter, 1890) (from Iraq); Pentatomidae: Antestiopsis thunbergii sensu Zhao et al. (2021) = Anaxilaus musgravei Gross, 1976 (from Australia), Andrallus spinidens sensu Kaur (2024) = Erthesina sp., Carpocoris pallidus sensu Keshari and Mahto (2017) = Antheminia sp., Dalpada neoclavata sensu Kaur (2024) = Dalpada bulbifera Walker, 1867, Halyabbas unicolor sensu Singh et al. (2013) = Palomena sp., Nezara antennata sensu Kaur (2024) = Nezara viridula (Linnaeus, 1758), Paranevisanus subgenericus sensu Kaur (2024) = Paranevisanus annandalei (Distant, 1908), Picromerus obtusus sensu Kaur (2024) = Eocanthecona furcellata (Wolff, 1811), Priassus spiniger sensu Kaur et al. (2019) = Priassus exemptus (Walker, 1868), Priassus exemptus sensu Kaur et al. (2019) = Udonga montana (Distant, 1900), Sciocoris lateralis sensu Kaur et al. (2016) = Menida formosa (Westwood, 1837), and Tolumnia maxima sensu Kaur et al. (2017) = T. latipes (Dallas, 1851) from India. The records of Reduvius personatus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Reduviidae), Nabis roseipennis Reuter, 1872 (Nabidae), Anthocoris nemoralis (Fabricius, 1794) (Anthocoridae), Peritropis saldaeformis Uhler, 1891 and Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois, 1818) (both Miridae), Oncopeltus fasciatus (Dallas, 1852) (Lygaeidae), Alydus calcaratus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Alydidae), Leptoglossus phyllopus (Linnaeus, 1767) (Coreidae), Cydnus aterrimus (Forster, 1771) (Cydnidae), Chinavia hilaris (Say, 1832) and Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) (Pentatomidae), Corimelaena pulicaria (Germar, 1839) (Thyreocoridae), and Calliphara excellens (Burmeister, 1834) (Scutelleridae) from Nigeria, and records of Nepa cinerea Linneaus, 1758 (Nepidae), Velia caprai Tamanini, 1947 (Veliidae), Coreus marginatus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coreidae), Chlorochroa ligata (Say, 1832), Graphosoma lineatum (Linnaeus, 1758), Halyomorpha halys and Palomena prasina (Linnaeus, 1761) (Pentatomidae) from India are demonstrated to be apparent errors. In addition, we propose, Antheminia sariabensis (Ahmad and Zaidi, 1991), new combination (for Codophila sariabensis Ahmad and Zaidi, 1991), fix its original correct spelling, and provide three new country records: Priassus exemptus from Laos, Priassus spiniger from Malaysia, and Tolumnia maxima from Brunei.
