He was the second husband of Princess Gorgophone and thus son-in-law of the hero Perseus. With her or by the Naiad Bateia,Apollodorus, 3.10.4 Oibalos fathered Tyndareus, Icarius and Hippocoon, as well as a daughter, Arene, who married her half-brother Aphareus. The nymph Pirene and Hyacinth were also called the daughter and son of Oebalius respectively. His grandchildren, the Dioscuri, were usually referred as Oibalids or Oebalidae.

Reece Sailer
Reece Ivan Sailer (8 November 1915 – 8 September 1986) was an American entomologist who specialized in classical biological control and the systematics of the bugs in the family Pentatomidae. Sailer was born in Roseville, Illinois where he went to school. He attended Western Illinois State Teacher's College followed by University of Kansas, where he received an A.B. in 1938 and a Ph.D. in 1942. His doctoral work was on the systematics of the genus ''Trichocorixa'' (Hemiptera) under H.B. Hungerford. Sailer worked as an assistant entomologist for the State of Kansas and then joined the US Department of Agriculture specializing in the taxonomy of true bugs. He also worked on the effects of DDT on forest insects and studied biting flies and mosquitoes in Alaska. In 1960 Sailer moved to Paris to work in the European Parasite Laboratory. He moved back to the US in 1966 and worked in Beltsville, Maryland. He joined the University of Florida The University of Florida (Flo ...

Oebalus Pugnax
''Oebalus pugnax'', the rice stink bug, is a flying insect in the shield bug family Pentatomidae native to North America that has become a major agricultural pest in the Southern United States. It has been a known pest since at least the time of Johan Christian Fabricius, who described the species in 1775. Description The adult ''Oebalus pugnax'' measures to long. It has a narrow profile that forms the shield shape characteristic of other stink bugs. These true bugs are typically straw-colored with sharp points on the apex of the shield and a yellow triangle exhibited on center of the shield. Some adults have gray coloring near the yellow triangle, while others may be a darker brown rather than straw-colored. However, the rice stink bug is easily distinguished from other stink bugs because of its narrower profile and lighter color than, for example, the brown marmorated stink bug. Behavior and crop damage The rice stink bug is a significant pest of rice crops in the southern U. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
