Revisão de Parentheca Berg (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae, Pentatomini)

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Review of Parelltlleca Berg (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae, Pentatomini). The neotropical genus Paren/heca Berg, 1891 is revised and redescribed with emphasis on male and female genitalia, and placed into "section 1" of Pentatomini which includes those genera lacking a basal spine or tubercle at the abdominal venter. Parenlheca subfurca/a Berg, 1891 (type species) and Paren/heca aeliol/lorpha Berg, 1891, both from Argentina are redescribed, also with emphasis on male and female genitalia, which are fully illustrated. The lectotype and paralectotype ofP. aeliomorpila are designated.

Notes on Biology of the Stink Bug Cyptocephala alvarengai Rolston (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) Feeding on Rice Panicles

“…The developmental time for each instar was calculated, and the number of surviving individuals was recorded daily. At adult emergence, the sex of all individuals was determined based on morphology of their external genitalia, as described by Campos & Grazia (1998) for Glyphepomis spinosa Campos & Grazia (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Survival was calculated as the difference between the numbers of individuals alive in 2 consecutive stages.…”

First records of Glyphepomis adroguensis (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae) and its parasitoid, Telenomus podisi (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae), on irrigated rice fields in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

“…The genus Glyphepomis is closely related to Tibraca Stål, 1860 (Campos & Grazia, 1998). T. limbativentris and Tibraca exigua Fernandes & Grazia, 1998 have both been documented on rice plantations of southern Brazil (Fernandes & Grazia 1998).…”

Also, Glyphepomis Berg species are rice pests (Campos and Grazia 1998 ;Farias et al 2012 ) and Dichelops melacanthus (Dallas) (Fig. 22.48 ) is considered an important problem in wheat (Chocorosqui and Panizzi 2004 ;Manfredi-Coimbra et al 2005 ) and corn crops (Ávila and Panizzi 1995 ) in Brazil.…”
