Less Diverse Pentatomoid Families (Acanthosomatidae, Canopidae, Dinidoridae, Megarididae, Phloeidae, and Tessaratomidae)

Abstract

The superfamily Pentatomoidea comprises about 7

Capítulo 25: Hemiptera Linnaeus, 1758

“…25.195). Como planta hospedeira para D. mactabilis, há o registro de Smilax japecanga Grisebach (Smilacaceae) em Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul (Schwertner & Grazia 2015).…”

“…25.197). São negros e brilhantes, ovalados e bastante convexos dorsalmente, com amplo desenvolvimento do escutelo, que recobre quase completamente os hemiélitros (Schwertner & Grazia 2015;Rider et al 2018) Pentatomidae . São conhecidos vulgarmente como fede-fede, percevejo-fedorento ou percevejo-verde.…”

Morphology, Ontogeny, Reproduction, and Feeding of True Bugs

“…Knowledge is restricted to species from other regions (Malipatil and Kumar 1975 ;Danielczok and Kocorek 2003 ). Eggs and nymphs of D. mactabilis were illustrated in Schwertner and Grazia ( 2014 ). The unique characteristics of the immature include the shape of the eggs and of the aero-micropylar processes, aspect of the chorion surface, and the development of some nymph structures.…”

Phylogenetic analysis of Phloeidae Amyot & Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha: Pentatomoidea) and its position in the superfamily Pentatomoidea, based on morphological studies

“…That was posteriorly done by Leston (1953), which presented the following set of characters to confirm his decision on Phloeidae as a distinct family: general body shape, three-segmented antennae, eyes divided into two parts, visible second abdominal spiracle, and the unique genitalia in the males, with complete eighth segment. After Leston (1953), most authors accepted the phloeids at family level (Schuh & Slater, 1995;Schwertner & Grazia, 2015;Rider et al, 2018;Schuh & Weirauch, 2020), whith some of them providing phylogenetic support to this decision (Grazia et al, 2008;Roca-Cusachs et al, 2022).…”

“…Besides the three species mentioned, some authors consider a fourth species, Serbana borneensis Distant, 1906 to be part of the family (Kirkaldy, 1909(Kirkaldy, , 1913Costa-Lima, 1940;Grazia et al, 2008;Schwertner & Grazia, 2015;Schuh & Weirauch, 2020). Distant (1906) originally described this species as a phloeid, and indeed it presents many morphological similarities with them: the body is extremely flattened dorsoventrally, and presents foliaceous expansions in the mandibular plates, pronotum, hemelytral coria and connexiva, as well as the compound eyes divided into two portions.…”
