“…Maharashtra state with three biogeographic zones (West Cost, Western Ghat and Deccan Plateau) is located between 19° 45' 5.4'' N and 75° 42' 50.04'' E with a total area of 308,000 km² and a coastline of 720 km in the west. The fauna of the family Pentatomidae in Maharashtra has not been studied thoroughly and available information is scattered, work on this group was done by Ghate ( , 2015 Jadhav andHegde (2018), Gaikwad, (2017). This study involved conducting a comprehensive literature review and systematically gathering data from published articles.…”

The current study presents a comprehensive taxonomic list of the family Pentatomidae from the state of Maharashtra. The research involved an extensive literature review, resulting in the hierarchical classification of 2 out of 4 subfamilies that are found in India. According to the literature surveyed the present data comprises seventy-one species of forty-nine genera belonging to twelve tribes of two subfamilies namely Asopinae and Pentatominae. The enumeration of species by subfamily recorded is as follows: (Asopine 8 species, Pentatominae 68 species). Two subfamilies namely Asopinae and Pentatominae have been recorded from Maharashtra till date, contributing to the cumulative understanding of the broader Indian context, which encompasses four subfamilies in total. This checklist will be poised to function as a pivotal reference point for forthcoming investigations into Pentatomidae biodiversity and ecological research in Maharashtra. Exploring this area more extensively will likely reveal many more species than we currently know.

“…Adults (males 13.4 mm long, females 15.8 mm long) are pale brown with distinct, dense black punctuation on the head, pronotum, scutellum and hemelytra which form a distinct pattern on the head and anterior part of the pronotum. Antennae have dark brown segments with very fine setae; the rostrum is robust and long-reaching to the posterior coxae (Ghate et al 2012). The head is almost rectangular with the two compound eyes on both sides and a pair of a simple red eyes near the compound eyes (Rajendra and Patel 1971).…”

The aim of this review is to describe ecological and physiological features of Andrallus spinidens Fabricius and to discuss various possibilities of using it as an appropriate biocontrol agent in different agroecosystems. This hemipteran is a cosmopolitan predator of caterpillar pests of rice, wheat, soybean, moong, pigeon pea, maize, sugarcane and cowpea with special feeding on Chilo suppressalis Walker, Naranga aenescnes Moore, Helicoverpa armigera Hübner and Spodoptera litura Fabricius. Climate, spatial distribution of prey and type of agricultural crop are among the factors influencing the biology and spatial-temporal distribution of A. spinidens. Studies have shown random or aggregated distribution of the predatory bug with population peaks in April, July and October. The 1st instar nymphs have no feeding, the 2nd and 3rd (the first 2 days) instars are seedling feeders while they are voracious predators of caterpillars from the middle of 3rd instar to adulthood. The salivary gland consisted of two anterior-, two lateral-and two posterior lobes with major secretion of trypsin, chymotrypsin, amino-and carboxypeptidases. The alimentary canal has a four-sectioned midgut in which the third section seems to be the main place for digestive enzymes including α-amylase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, elastase cathepsins B, L and D as well as carboxy-and aminopetidases. Andrallus spinidens have shown compatibility with some insecticides and the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana. The predatory bug may be successfully reared in a laboratory using Galleria mellonella larvae as prey and both conservation and augmentation should be considered as biological control strategies against insect pests.

Family Pentatomidae is represented by four subfamilies (Asopinae, Pentatominae, Phyllocephalinae and Podopinae) and 86 genera in south India. Pentatominae are the dominant group represented by 29 tribes and 72 genera. An illustrated key including the habitus of majority of genera as well as illustrations of important diagnostic features are given for the subfamilies, tribes and genera occurring in south India. In addition, a key to families of Pentatomoidea and a checklist of species of Pentatomidae occurring in south India are also included.
