“…The chorion of V. manihotae is smooth, as is the chorion of Corythucha arcuata (Say). This differs from the finding of Southwood (1956), that the chorion is covered by hexagonal sculpturation. In V. manihotae and C. arcuata, the only area covered by such polygonal ornamentation is the dorsal surface of 50, 50, 50, 100, 100, 10, 10, 10, 20, 20, 50,100, 100, 20, and 20 µm, respectively. the cap.…”

“…General features of the eggs and nymphs of thyreocorid species have been briefl y described (Southwood 1956 ;Cobben 1968 ;Hinton 1981 ;Yonke 1991 ). Immature stages are known only for eight species occurring in Mexico and Neotropical region, including descriptions of eggs and/or nymphs and/or life history (Table 24.3 ).…”

The Thyreocoridae, usually known as "negro bugs," includes 212 species in 12 genera distributed in two subfamilies Thyreocorinae (seven species in three genera) which are not represented in the neotropics and Corimelaeninae (205 species in nine genera) with a worldwide distribution. Relatively small and dark colored, often shiny, this is a poorly studied family within Pentatomoidea and its relationships still being debated. They are exclusively herbivorous, and, at least, 23 Mexican and Neotropical species have some record of associated plant. Besides that, in the literature, there is no information about damage caused by these bugs. IntroductionThe Thyreocoridae Amyot & Serville ( = Corimelaenidae Uhler) is a common but poorly studied group in the Pentatomoidea. It includes the Thyreocorinae, with seven species in three genera, and Corimelaeninae, with 205 species in nine genera (McAtee and Malloch 1933 ;Sailer 1940Sailer , 1941 Kormilev 1956a , b ;McPherson and Sailer 1978 ;Stys and Davidová 1979 ;Dolling 1981 ;Ahmad and Moizuddin 1982 ;Lis 2006 ). Previous authors considered the Thyreocorinae (= Corimelaeninae) as a subfamily of Cydnidae (i.e., Gapud 1991 ) by the presence of coxal fringes and tibial spines. , in a cladistic analysis of the Pentatomoidea, suggested

“…Indeed, the two families were in the past considered subfamilies of a larger Pyrrhocoridae until Hussey ( 1929 ) suggested that each be raised to family level; China ( 1954 ) raised Largidae to family level, and Southwood ( 1956 ) created the formal term "Pyrrhocoroidea." Two families, Pyrrhocoridae and Largidae, in a superfamily Pyrrhocoroidea, are now the accepted classifi cation.…”

The Pyrrhocoridae and the Largidae, making up the superfamily Pyrrhocoroidea, are moderately sized insects, often with bright and contrasting colors. Several genera of Largidae resemble ants, either in color or in form. These insects range from 7 to 18 mm (Pyrrhocoridae) and from 5 to 16 mm (Largidae). They feed on seeds, on the ground, or in the fruits. However, for most largids, we do not know much at all about their host plants or biology. Dysdercus (the only Neotropical genus in Pyrrhocoridae) can be harmful, feeding on cotton seeds; however, this damage occurs rarely in the Neotropics and more often in the Paleotropics.
