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 ...

Cyclopelta Siccifolia
''Cyclopelta siccifolia'' is a bug in the family Dinidoridae found in South Asia. It is known for its large aggregations on certain species of plants. They have been known to aggregate and damage '' Erythrina'', ''Sesbania'', ''Pongamia'', and ''Cajanus cajan The pigeon pea (''Cajanus cajan'') is a perennial legume from the family Fabaceae native to the Old World. The pigeon pea is widely cultivated in tropical and semitropical regions around the world, being commonly consumed in South Asia, Southe ...''. The species has underside paler than upper parts, the scutellum has a small yellow spot and the membrane of the wing is much lighter than the rest of the wing. The most similar species is ''Cyclopelta obscura''. Aggregations of the bug have been noted on ''Sesbania'', ''Butea'', ''Milletia'' among others. Where they risk damage to the plants, the recommended practice is to handpick the bugs since they are quite sluggish. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q62570876 Dinidoridae ...

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] |
