Dinidoridae
The Dinidoridae are a small family of insects comprising about a hundred species in sixteen genera in the Hemipteran suborder Heteroptera, the "true bugs".Lis, Jerzy A; Lis; Pawel; Ziaja, Dariusz J; Kocorek, Anna. Systematic position of Dinidoridae within the superfamily Pentatomoidea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) revealed by the Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial 12S and 16S rDNA sequences. Zootaxa 3423: 61–68 (2012) ISSN 1175-5334 As a group the family does not have any common name. Until the late 19th century they were generally regarded as a subfamily of the Pentatomidae. Description Most members of the family Dinidoridae are large and robust in build; the bodies of some species may exceed 27 mm in length. In shape they are ovoid to oblong. The head and pronotum have lateral keels. The scutellum is moderately short and blunt, typically some 50% of the abdominal length. The antennae have four or five segments, with at least two of the subapical segmen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cyclopelta
''Cyclopelta'' is a genus of Dinidorid bug found in Africa and Asia. There are 14 species in the genus with 8 found in Asia and 6 in Africa. Some species are known to form large aggregation on trees and can cause damage in a few trees of economic importance. The genus ''Cyclopelta'' has a four-segmented antenna. Species in the genus have two to four pairs of conjunctival processes in their aedeagus, a feature shared with ''Coridius'', ''Colpoproctus'' and ''Dinidor''. In ''Cyclopelta'' the femora are spined along the surface and the females have hind tibiae that are opaque on the inner surface. The underside does not have a series of yellow spots as in ''Dinidor''. Species within this genus include: * ''C. robusta'' * ''C. bechynei'' * ''C. funebris'' * ''C. tristis'' * ''C. abdominalis'' * ''C. trimaculata'' * ''C. obscura'' * ''C. parva'' * ''C. rugosa'' * ''C. bruneiensis'' * ''C. gibbosa'' * ''C. ornata'' * '' C. siccifolia'' * ?''C. subhimalayensis'' (type miss ...

Sagriva
''Sagriva'' is a genus of dinidorid bugs. It occurs in south and southeast Asia. Originally described in 1850 from the species ''Sagriva vittata'', no other species were known for over a century, making the genus monotypic for that time period. A second species, ''S. banna'', was described in 2017. Description The genus can be recognised by: head with mandibular plates longer than clypeus and converging in front of it; an angular, tranversely directed projection in front of each eye, the eyes subpedunculate; the antennae each with 4 segments and the pedicel and basiflagellum angular in cross section and all faces deeply furrowed between the edges; the pronotum subquadrate in shape with its anterior margin much broader than the head; the wings often reduced (brachypterous); and the lateral margins and posterolateral angles of pregenital abdominal segments without tubercles. As for the two species within ''Sagriva'', ''S.'' ''vittata'' is larger (males 15.3–16.7 mm long, fem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coridius
''Coridius'' is a genus of dinidorid bugs. They suck sap mainly from plants belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae The Cucurbitaceae, also called cucurbits or the gourd family, are a plant family consisting of about 965 species in around 95 genera, of which the most important to humans are: *''Cucurbita'' – squash, pumpkin, zucchini, some gourds *'' Lagen .... About forty species are known with a native distribution mainly in Africa and Asia. Several species are eaten in parts of South and Southeast Asia. Some species have extended into Europe and are considered as pests on cucurbit crops. * '' Coridius affinis'' * '' Coridius alternatus'' * '' Coridius assamensis'' * '' Coridius brunneus'' * '' Coridius castaneus'' * '' Coridius chinensis'' * '' Coridius cuprifer'' * '' Coridius cuprinus'' * '' Coridius deckerti'' * '' Coridius dimorphus'' * '' Coridius divergens'' * '' Coridius dubitabilis'' * '' Coridius duraiae'' * '' Coridius farleyi'' * '' Coridius flavo ...

Carl Stål
Carl Stål (21 March 1833 – 13 June 1878) was a Swedish entomologist specialising in Hemiptera. He was born at Karlberg Castle, Stockholm on 21 March 1833 and died at Frösundavik near Stockholm on 13 June 1878. He was the son of architect, author and officer Carl Stål then Colonel, Swedish Corps of Engineers. He matriculated at Uppsala University in 1853, studying medicine and passing the medico-philosophical examination in 1857. He then turned to entomology and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Jena in 1859. The same year he became assistant to Carl Henrik Boheman in the Zoological department of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm, where, in 1867, he was appointed keeper with the title of professor. He made collecting trips in Sweden and throughout Europe and visited other museums including the collection of Johan Christian Fabricius in Kiel. His study of the Fabrician types resulted in his "Hemiptera Fabriciana". A significant part of Stål's work wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
