“…Prepops contains 198 species in the western hemisphere, with 75 recorded in Brazil. Their known host plants include Ludwigia (Onagraceae) (HENRY, 1990;FERREIRA et al, 2001). Specimens of Collaria Provancher, 1872 feed on grasses (Poaceae) (CARVALHO & FONTES, 1981;FERREIRA et al, 2001).…”

Specimens of Collaria Provancher, 1872 feed on grasses (Poaceae) (CARVALHO & FONTES, 1981;FERREIRA et al, 2001). Phytocoris, the largest mirid genus (about 650 species), includes prey-specific predators which are usually restricted to a single plant species (SCHUH & SLATER, 1995).…”

“…Also known as plant bugs, mirids are among the most abundant insects on herbs, shrubs and trees (WHEELER, 2000). Their highest diversity is recorded in the Neotropics, and about 1,000 species are known from Brazil (FERREIRA et al, 2001). Although most mirids are plant feeders, as many as one half of the species feed as scavengers or facultative predators (WHEELER, 2000).…”

“…In Brazil, FERREIRA (1999) listed 43 genera and 69 species for the state of São Paulo, based on literature and data from deposited specimens. FERREIRA et al (2001) cited 141 species of mirids for the state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. For the same state, FERREIRA et al (2006) presented distribution data for Miridae based on data from literature and collections, and recorded 311 species.…”

A two-year study was carried out to evaluate the composition, abundance and species richness of Miridae from Parque Estadual do Turvo, municipality of Derrubadas, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Samplings were made in the springs of 2003 and 2004 (October), and autumns of 2004 and 2005 (May), using a beating tray method, along two trails of the park. Sampling effort (hours x collectors) in the quantitative collections totaled 153 hours. Two-hundred mirid specimens of 50 species were collected. The most abundant mirid was Prepops setosipes (Reuter, 1910), representing 23% of the collected individuals, followed by Collaria capixaba Carvalho & Fontes, 1981 (10.5%) and Tropidosteptes cribratus (Stål, 1860) (7%), the latter recorded in all sampling periods. The highest abundance was observed in the springs of 2003 and 2004, with 53 and 78 individuals, respectively. Rarefaction method showed that estimated species richness was higher in autumn/2004 than in the other sampling periods, and higher along Yucumã than in Garcia trail. Besides a higher species richeness, Yucumã had more exclusive species than Garcia trail. The percent of species represented by one or two specimens in quantitative samplings (singletons and doubletons) was 60%. Additional samplings including hand collection, random beating tray and light trap collections added 20 species not recorded in the quantitative samplings.

“…Up to date, the knowledge about P. decempunctatus is restricted to its description (Carvalho 1945) and its occurrence on plants of Solanum cernuum (Solanaceae) (Ferreira et al 2001). However, nothing is known about its behavior or biological activities.…”

Neotropical Entomology 36(4): 510-513 (2007) Morfologia do Percevejo Fitófago Platyscytus decempunctatus (Carvalho) (Heteroptera: Miridae) RESUMO -Platyscytus decempunctatus Carvalho é um mirídeo de pequeno porte que vive durante seu ciclo de vida em plantas de Solanum cernuum Vell. (Solanaceae). A morfologia interna de P. decempunctatus foi estudada revelando que fêmeas possuem ovário do tipo telotrófico com três ovaríolos no ovário direito e cinco no esquerdo. Nas estruturas reprodutivas dos machos existe uma glândula acessória tubular bem desenvolvida. A fitofagia de P. decempunctatus foi confirmada devido a observações de pigmentos de clorofila no intestino de todos os espécimes dissecados. As glândulas salivares em formato tubular e os túbulos de Malpighi também foram discutidos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ovário, testículo, tubos de Malphigi, glândula salivar, Solanum cernuumABSTRACT -Platyscytus decempunctatus Carvalho is a small mirid living throughout its life cicle plant Solanum cernuum Vell. (Solanaceae). The internal morphology of P. decempunctatus was studied and found that the female has a telotrophic ovary with three ovarioles in the right ovary and five in the left one. In the male reproductive trait there is a well developed tubular accessory gland. The phytophagous feeding habitat of P. decempunctatus was confirmed by the observations of chlorophyll pigments in the gut of all dissected specimens. The tubular salivary glands and the Malpighian tubules were also discussed.

The Miridae, or plant bugs, with more than 1,300 genera and 11,130 described species, represent the largest and most diverse family of Heteroptera. Although many plant bugs are phytophagous and may cause serious damage to crops, a great many are predatory and may be important in biological control programs. In the Neotropics, about 561 genera and more than 3,400 species are included in seven of the world's eight recognized subfamilies. In this chapter, we give an overview of the classifi cation, general life history, and economic importance and provide identifi cation keys to the Neotropical subfamilies and tribes. For each subfamily, we present a brief diagnosis, an overview of the respective tribes and subtribes, and key literature.
