“…These species have been poorly documented in collections and scientific literature, as previoulsy noted by Brailovsky & Rolston (1986) and Barcellos & Grazia (1993;. Additionally, the presence of O. and maize (see Barros et al 2021); as well the presence of eight species of predatory stink bugs (Asopinae), including a relevant number of individuals of P. nigrispinus, P. fuscescens, B. tabidus and S. cincticeps, largely studied as important tools for biological control, including in South America (De Clercq 2000;Roca-Cusachs et al 2020;Brugnera et al 2022;Plata-Rueda et al 2022).…”

The insect drift is a natural phenomenon characterized by the passive movement of insects through air or water currents, which influences their dispersal. The phenomenon of insect drift in ocean beaches represents one of the best-known cases. One of the prominent insect group associated with ocean beach drifts is the Heteroptera, commonly known as true bugs, stink bugs, and water bugs. In this brief communication, we present the diversity of stink bugs (Pentatomoidea) obtained from a rapid survey on an insect drift event at Campeche Beach, Florianópolis, Brazil. The survey was conducted on December 02, 2021, along a transect of ~550 meters in the shoreline. A total of 363 individuals were collected. From these, 35 species, 29 genera, and three families were identified. Two species represent undescribed taxa. We found several species that can be considered rare in entomological collections, such as Copeocoris truncaticornis (Stål, 1865) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), Capivacius bufo Distant, 1883 (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), Curatia denticornis Stål, 1864 (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), and Tibilis subconspersa Stål, 1860 (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), as well as economically important species such as Diceraeus furcatus (Fabricius, 1775) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), Thyanta perdidor (Fabricius, 1794) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), and Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood, 1837) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Our results underscore the significance of beach drift events, as they provide valuable opportunities to investigate the hidden diversity within particular taxa, bringing new data while unveiling unknown species. Moreover, the presence of two undescribed species reinforces the importance of researching and documenting drift phenomena for taxonomic purposes, shedding light on insect migration and dispersion patterns.

“…2 In general, stink bugs are phytophagous, except for members of the subfamily Asopinae, which has species that are predators. 3,4 The phytophagous species of stink bugs feed mainly on the vegetative and reproductive structures of herbaceous plants, including agricultural crops, and can cause qualitative and quantitative losses to cultivated crops. 5,6 Soybean is the third-greatest global commodity crop with respect to grain production, and Brazil recently became the largest soybean producer in the world, with over 125.55 million tons from approximately 41.49 million hectares of planted area in 2021/2022.…”

BACKGROUNDSoybean is the third‐greatest global commodity crop with respect to grain production, Brazil is the largest soybean producer in the world. We performed the first extensive survey including all the five main soybean cultivation regions in Brazil over three seasons (2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21). A total of 2386 localities were sampled, corresponding to 145 municipalities in 11 states. Sampling was carried out between the R1 and R8 soybean growth stages, using a beating sheet.RESULTSFifteen species were recorded, with five species accounting for more than 99% of the sampled insects. The Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (F.), was the most abundant species (82.4% of the adults and 84.1% of the nymphs overall), with differences in the mean abundance between soybean macroregions. The melacanthus green belly stink bug, Diceraeus melacanthus Dallas was the second most abundant species overall, followed by the brown winged stink bug, Edessa meditabunda (F.), the furcatus green belly stink bug, Diceraeus furcatus (F.) and the red‐banded green stink bug, Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood). The relative abundance of each species differed between soybean macroregions. The mean abundance of nymphs and adults of E. heros at different soybean reproductive stages showed increasing from early reproductive stages to the beginning of the late reproductive stages (R5 or R6).CONCLUSIONThis large‐scale assessment of stink bugs provides a basis for outlining integrated pest management programs and drives the development of monitoring and control strategies, as well as future studies investigating population dynamics over time and space in soybean fields.This article is protected by copyright.
