Lyramorpha
''Lyramorpha'' is a genus of stink bugs in the family Tessaratomidae, subfamily Oncomerinae. It is known from Australia and New Guinea. Description and life cycle As oncomerine insects, life cycle of ''Lyramorpha'' consists of the three stages of ,egg, Nymph (biology), nymph and adult. Eggs are barrel-shaped and are laid in groups of 40-42. From these hatch first-instar nymphs, which are soft, semi-globular in shape and slow-moving. Intermediate stage nymphs are extremely flattened in shape, allowing them to lie flat against leaves with the vulnerable legs under the body. Nymphs also have a pair of scent glands on top of their bodies, from which they produce a pungent liquid if disturbed. In at least two species, ''L. rosea'' and ''L. parens'', the first and second instars are chequered red and black, changing to a uniform red in later instars. Both adults and the later instars of nymphs have a pair of points at the posterior end of the body, which can be seen in photographs. B ...
