An Annotated Catalog of the Iranian Coreidae, Rhopalidae, and Stenocephalidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha: Coreoidea)

Abstract

A study of Iranian Coreoidea, Alydidae excluded, has brought new geographical data on these bugs. Ninety-five species in 34 genera of three families, including, Coreidae (53 species), Rhopalidae (33 species), and Stenocephalidae (9 species), are listed as the fauna of Iran. The following species of Coreidae are new for the Iranian fauna: Fracastorius cornutus Distant 1902, Homoeocerus albiguttulus Stål 1873, and Prismatocerus borealis (Distant 1918).

Additional notes on heteroptera (Hemiptera) of Eastern Turkey

“…This is second record in Diyarbakır province (Önder et al, 2006(Önder et al, : Bolu, 2020. Note: The nominal subspecies is medio-oriental, present from the island of Lesvos (Greece), to Turkey and Western Iran (Ghahari et al, 2012) [11] . The subspecies C. fenestella subsimilis (Horvàth, 1917) has an oriental distribution, from Iran to Mongolia and India.…”

“…Phylogeny for the tribes of Rhopalinae has been hypothesized based on morphology, but several concurrent hypotheses still exist (Schaefer 1993;Li and Zheng 1994;Davidova-Vilimova et al 2000;Henry 2019). Although there are several published studies examining the relationships among infrafamilial levels of the Coreoidea, a consensus regarding the relationships among different families and subfamily lineages has not been reached (Souza et al 2009;Ghahari et al 2012;Forthman et al 2019). In addition, some studies support Aradoidea as sister group of Trichophora (which includes Pentatomoidea, Lygaeoidea, Pyrrhocoroidea and Coreoidea), but the relationship within Trichophora is still under debate (Li et al 2005;Xie et al 2005;Linnavuori 2007;Tian et al 2011;Weirauch and Schuh 2011).…”
