Probergrothius Dilectus
''Probergrothius'' is an Old World genus of Hemiptera, true bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae. The genus was previously referred to as ''Odontopus'', but that name was already in use for a genus of weevils, and was therefore replaced by ''Probergrothius'' in 1904. Members of this genus are reported to feed mainly on members of the plant order Malvales, including ''Sterculia,'' baobab (''Adansonia''), and kapok (''Ceiba'' or ''Bombax''), but will feed on others as well. The welwitschia bug, ''Probergrothius angolensis,'' feeds on ''Welwitschia'' seeds, which is a gymnosperm, unlike the Malvales, which are angiosperms.

Probergrothius Angolensis
''Probergrothius angolensis'', sometimes known as the Welwitschia bug, is a species of true bug found in the Namib desert and nearby regions. Relationship with ''Welwitschia'' They are best known for their association with the unusual plant ''Welwitschia mirabilis'', also endemic to the area, but it is in doubt whether they actually serve a role in pollination or only drink ''Welwitschia'' sap. In addition, they may spread a fungus, ''Aspergillus niger ''Aspergillus niger'' is a mold classified within the ''Nigri'' section of the ''Aspergillus'' genus. The ''Aspergillus'' genus consists of common molds found throughout the environment within soil and water, on vegetation, in fecal matter, on de ...'', in the process, which is harmful to developing seeds. Comparison with ''Probergrothius sexpunctatus'' The species has been recognized under a misattributed name, '' Probergrothius sexpunctatus,'' for several decades, but ''P. sexpunctatus'' is a separate species that occurs fart ...

''P. sexpunctatus'', as its name suggests, has six prominent black spots on its wings (3 per wing; 2 anteriorly and 1 posteriorly), distinguishing it from the visually similar ''P. angolensis'' where the two anterior wing spots are typically fused, making four wing spots (2 per wing; 1 anteriorly and posteriorly). ''P. sexpunctatus'' also typically has a reddish pronotum and legs, which are black (or almost black) in ''P. angolensis'', however this characte ...

Probergrothius Sanguinolens
''Probergrothius sanguinolens'' is a species of bug found in India. They feed on a range of seeds and are particularly common on the seeds of '' Sterculia'' and other Malvaceae. They also feed on freshly dead animal matter with early instar nymphs preferring animal matter to seeds. The adult bug is predominantly red. The second antennal segment is slightly longer than the first. The second and third antennal segments, the scutellum, all or part of the clavus, and wing membrane are black. The fourth segment of the antenna is creamy white and its tip is dusky. Bacteria in the genus ''Gordonibacter'' are known to be gut microsymbionts transmitted from parent to offspring and a phylogenetic study of their mitochondrial gene sequences suggests that the genus ''Probergrothius'' split off from the common ancestors of ''Dysdercus'', ''Dindymus'', ''Scanthius'', and ''Pyrrhocoris'' around 86.5±23 mya.
