“…This family encompasses a number of agricultural pests that are responsible for huge economic losses worldwide, as they feed on a variety of fruits and seeds, seriously affecting crop yield and quality (Conti et al, 2020). Heavy attacks are recorded on almost all economically relevant crops, including commodity crops such as cotton, rice, maize, soybean, and wheat (Leskey and Nielsen, 2018;Zerbino and Panizzi, 2019;Defensor et al, 2020;Sosa-Gómez et al, 2020), fruit trees (Leskey and Nielsen, 2018;Mi et al, 2020;Powell, 2020), nuts (Bosco et al, 2018;Mehrnejad, 2020), and vegetables (Palumbo et al, 2016;Leskey and Nielsen, 2018). Furthermore, the invasive potential of many pentatomid species, such as Halyomorpha halys (Stål), Nezara viridula L., Erthesina fullo Thunberg, or Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister), makes them major agricultural threats in several areas outside their native range (Palumbo et al, 2016;Leskey and Nielsen, 2018;Conti et al, 2020;Mi et al, 2020).…”
