“…Nymphs and adults of Cyrtocoris egeris Packauskas & Schaefer were observed feeding on immature soybean pods in Argentina (Reconquista, Santa Fé Province). Under laboratory conditions, nymphs of neither species could be reared beyond the 3rd instar (Schaefer et al 2005 ). Adult and nymphal C. egeris fed gregariously on the stems of Acalypha diversifolia Jacquin (Euphorbiaceae) and moved to the leaves when these became available; adults could also feed on Piper sp.…”

The Pentatomidae, representing the fourth largest family within Heteroptera, are one of the most diverse groups with about 800 genera and more than 4,700 species in the world. In the Neotropics, about 230 genera and 1,400 species are included in seven subfamilies of the world's nine subfamilies; four subfamilies are exclusively of the Neotropics. In this chapter, for each subfamily, a diagnosis, an overview of the classifi cation, and information on life history, ecology, and economic importance are given. Comprehensive keys and diagnosis to the subfamilies, tribes, and genera for the Neotropical Region, including Mexico, Central and South America, and the West Indies, are also given.

“…However, we provided as food only green bean pods and seedlings of the weed plant arrow leaf-sida, Sida rhombifolia L. (Malvaceae) kept in small pots (100 mL). The latter was provided because cyrtocorids were reported to feed on this weed (Schaefer et al 2005).…”

“…Nymphs and adults of C. egeris have been reported to feed on immature pods of soybean in Argentina; however, nymphs were unable to develop beyond the 3rd instar on this food under laboratory conditions (Schaefer et al 2005). These authors reported that another species, Cyrtocoris trigonus (Germar), was found (4 individuals) feeding on stems of the arrow leaf-sida in the field, in Londrina (23.30°S, 51.15°W), Paraná State, Brazil, and females laid eggs in the laboratory, but all nymphs died when fed this plant.…”

True bugs (Heteroptera) are a diverse and complex group of insects, particularly in the neotropics. The fauna of these bugs has been investigated through time, but our knowledge of the species living in the Neotropical Region is limited. In this introductory chapter, we give a general view on true bugs classifi cation and biogeography, with concise comments on their general characteristics and bioecology of each major taxon that comprise each of the seven infraorders of Heteroptera. IntroductionThe true bugs (Heteroptera) constitute a very interesting widely distributed group of insects, which is greatly diversifi ed in tropical zones. Considered the largest group of insects with incomplete metamorphosis, heteropterans have been studied on both basic and applied aspects worldwide.Along the years, several books have been published on Heteroptera, the majority on specifi c aspects, such as certain groups (taxa) of particular areas, and others on more general comprehensive issues. Of more broad interest, two books about the latter were published relatively recently. The fi rst was dedicated to the classifi cation and natural history of true bugs in particular, with insights on the history of the study of Heteroptera, how to collect and preserve true bugs, historical biogeogra- The second book is a massive review of the world literature on species of economic importance, ranging from pest species of crops to species of medical importance (e.g., transmitters of Chagas disease) and to species that are of "nuisance" to humans (Schaefer and Panizzi 2000 ).Considering the Neotropical Region, not a general book devoted to Heteroptera has been published in the last 70+ years. There are texts dealing with Hemiptera (Heteroptera) such as the one by Costa Lima ( 1940 ) on the true bugs of Brazil and the one by Berg ( 1879 ) devoted to true bugs of Argentina. Recently, Grazia and Fernandes ( 2012 ) made an overview of the true bugs of Brazil, updating what was published before on many scattered publications.In this introductory chapter, we give a concise and fast overview of the true bugs of the neotropics. This includes a general view on their classifi cation and biogeography, with concise comments on their general characteristics and bioecology of each major taxon that comprise each of the seven infraorders of Heteroptera. Classifi cation, Biogeography, General Characteristics, and Bioecology of Neotropical True BugsThe order Hemiptera, suborder Heteroptera, is divided into seven infraorders: Enicocephalomorpha, Dipsocoromorpha, Gerromorpha, Nepomorpha, Leptopodomorpha, Cimicomorpha, and Pentatomomorpha. These seven infraorders were recognized by Schuh ( 1979 ) based on the information on the evolutionary tendencies of heteropterans mouthparts and feeding habits described by Cobben ( 1978 ). Recently, Weirauch and Schuh ( 2011 ) revised the actual knowledge on the systematics and evolution of the heteropterans. EnicocephalomorphaThis infraorder, the unique-headed bugs, is divided in two families, Aenictopecheidae and...
