Updated Checklist of the Pentatomidea (Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha) of Uzbekistan

Abstract

This article presents the results of scientific research conducted in 2019-2021 on the study of species belonging to the Pentatomidae family distributed in Uzbekistan. Also, the information was filled from the collection materials and literature kept at the Institute of Zoology of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan. A complete list of 3 subfamilies (Asopinae, Pentotominae, Podopinae), 10 tribes, 46 genera, 3 subgenera and 103 species belonging to the Pentatomidae family is provided for the first time in Uzbekistan. In the fauna, the specie of Alloeoglypta pretiosa Kiritshenko, 1952 was recorded for the first time. The purpose of this study is to present new records and an updated checklist of the Pentatomoidea of Uzbekistan. Also, the results of the scientific work conducted by various researchers on the study of the species of bugs belonging to the Pentatomidae family distributed in Uzbekistan and material of the collected species were deposited in the collection established by the fourth author, which is kept in the Laboratory of Institute of Zoology of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

A zoogeographical analysis of True Bugs (Insecta, Heteroptera) from Uzbekistan

“…Scientific studies on the global distribution of Heteroptera can be found in the works of foreign scientists such as Latreille (1810) and Leach (1815). Many research papers have been published recently, including Chandra and Kushwaha (2013); Samra et al (2015); Vinokurov et al (2015); Yasunaga (2016); Drapolyuk (2017); Henry (2017b); Oh et al (2017); Kim and Jung (2018); Kuzhuget and Vinokurov (2018); Gapon (2019); Yazici (2020); Gandjaeva (2011Gandjaeva ( , 2012aGandjaeva ( , b, 2020; Gandjaeva et al (2019Gandjaeva et al ( , b, c, d, e, 2021; Abdullaev et al (2020a, b); Allabergenova and Gandzhaeva (2022); Yusupova et al (2022a, b); and Iskandarov et al (2022).…”

A zoogeographical analysis of true bugs (Insecta, Heteroptera) from Uzbekistan

“…The geographical distribution of Heteroptera from around the world has always been of interest to researchers ( Latreille 1810 ; Leach 1815 ; Panizzi and Grazia 2015 ; Schuh and Weirauch 2020 ). Many research papers have been published recently, including Chandra and Kushwaha (2013) ; Samra et al (2015) ; Vinokurov et al (2015) ; Yasunaga (2016) ; Drapolyuk (2017) ; Henry (2017b) ; Oh et al (2017) ; Kim and Jung (2018) ; Kuzhuget and Vinokurov (2018) ; Gapon (2019) ; Yazici (2020) ; Gandjaeva (2011 , 2012a , b , 2020 ); Gandjaeva and Abdullaeva (2022a , b ); Gandjaeva and Allabergenova (2022) ; Gandjaeva et al (2019 , 2020a , b , c , d , e , 2021 , 2022a , b , c ); Abdullaev et al (2020 a, b); Allabergenova and Gandzhaeva (2022) ; Yusupova and Gandjaeva (2022) ; Yusupova et al (2022) ; Iskandarov et al (2022) .…”

“…Every database should be a living document, with the ability to track changes regularly. Additional information on newly studied species is being added continuously ( Gandjaeva 2011 , 2012a , b , 2020 ; Gandjaeva et al 2019 , 2020a , b , c , d , e , 2021 , 2022a , b , c ; Abdullaev et al 2020 a, b; Allabergenova and Gandzhaeva 2022 ; Gandjaeva and Abdullaeva 2022a , b ; Gandjaeva and Allabergenova 2022 ; Iskandarov et al 2022 ; Yusupova and Gandjaeva 2022 ; Yusupova et al 2022 ).…”
