Miridae
The Miridae are a large and diverse insect family at one time known by the taxonomic synonym Capsidae. Species in the family may be referred to as capsid bugs or "mirid bugs". Common names include plant bugs, leaf bugs, and grass bugs. It is the largest family of true bugs belonging to the suborder Heteroptera; it includes over 10,000 known species, and new ones are being described constantly. Most widely known mirids are species that are notorious agricultural pests that pierce plant tissues, feed on the sap, and sometimes transmit viral plant diseases. Some species however, are predatory. Description Miridae are small, terrestrial insects, usually oval-shaped or elongate and measuring less than in length. Many of them have a hunched look, because of the shape of the prothorax, which carries the head bent down. Some are brightly coloured and attractively patterned, others drab or dark, most being inconspicuous. Some genera are ant mimics at certain stages of life. The Mirida ...

Stenotus Binotatus
''Stenotus binotatus'' is a species of plant bug, originally from Europe, but now also established across North America and New Zealand. It is long, yellowish, with darker markings on the pronotum and forewings. It feeds on various grasses, and can be a pest of crops such as wheat. Description ''Stenotus binotatus'' is a fairly large plant bug ( long), which is somewhat variable in appearance. The insect's sides are roughly parallel, and the colours depend on both the animal's sex and its age, the markings becoming darker and stronger with increasing age. Males are mostly yellow, with darker markings on the pronotum and forewings, which females are greenish-yellow with paler markings. Distribution ''S. binotatus'' is native to most of the Palearctic but has been introduced to temperate regions around the world. It is common "throughout the northern and central U.S. and southern Canada", and it has been introduced to New Zealand, where it is now found almost throughout the co ...

Phylinae
Phylinae is a subfamily of the plant bug family Miridae. Species of this family are found worldwide. In research published in 2013, the subfamily Phylinae was reorganized. The tribe Auricillocorini is now considered a synonym of Hallodapini, and the tribe Pronotocrepini a synonym of the subtribe Cremnorrhina. New tribes were created under the new or resurrected names Decomiini, Exocarpocorini, Cremnorrhini, Nasocorini, and Semiini. The revised subfamily consists of nine tribes containing around 400 genera and over 2000 species. ; Subfamily Phylinae Douglas & Scott, 1865 : Tribe Cremnorrhinini Reuter, 1883 (sometimes spelled "Cremnorrhini") :: Subtribe Coatonocapsina Schuh & Menard, 2013 :: Subtribe Cremnorrhina Reuter, 1883 : Tribe Decomiini Schuh & Menard, 2013 : Tribe Exaeretini Futon, 1875 : Tribe Hallodapini Van Duzee, 1916 : Tribe Leucophoropterini Schuh, 1974 :: Subtribe Leucophoropterina Schuh, 1974 :: Subtribe Tuxedoina Schuh & Menard, 2013 : Tribe Nasocorini Reuter, 188 ...

Mosquito Bug
The genus ''Helopeltis'', also known as mosquito bugs, is a group of Heteropterans in the family Miridae (capsid bugs) and tribe Dicyphini. They include important pests of various crops, including cacao, cashew, cotton and tea. Now in a different subgenus, a number of similar ''Afropeltis'' species are pests in Africa. Mosquito bugs have a characteristic spine on the scutellum, which is a diagnostic feature. Classification in the field is based on morphological characteristics, with considerable variations in colouration between insects of the same species (although for example, ''H. theivora'' is characteristically green and ''H. antonii'' red-brown). Damage and distribution With typical Hemipteran sucking mouthparts, they pierce plant tissues and cause damage ranging from leaf tattering and fruit blemishes, to complete death of shoots, branches or whole plants. There has been evident speciation along the islands of the Malay archipelago and there may be cryptic species in thi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
