“…This tribe corresponds closely with Phasiinae with respect to male terminalia (including elongated medial plate of hypandrium) (Tschorsnig, ; Cerretti et al ., ; Shima, ). The primary argument for placing Strongygastrini within Tachininae is their unusual host associations: Rondaniooestrus is a parasitoid of honeybees (Villeneuve, ) and Strongygaster has been recorded parastizing heteropterans similar to other phasiines (Sabrosky & Braun, ; Santos & Panizzi, ; Panizzi & Oliveira, ; Golec et al ., ), but also attacks a wide array of other insects including Orthoptera (Kevan & Koshnaw, ), Coleoptera (Arnaud, ), Hymenoptera (Eggleton & Belshaw, ; Feener, ), Lepidoptera (Sabrosky & Braun, ), Dermaptera (Sabrosky & Braun, ) and Diptera (Ferrar, ). No other phasiine regularly exploits hosts outside Heteroptera, and therefore the host use of Strongygaster would be unprecedented in the subfamily.…”

Abstract. Phasiinae (Diptera: Tachinidae) are endoparasitoid flies that attack Heteroptera, including a multitude of agricultural pests. A phylogenetically informed classification of Phasiinae has eluded systematists for over a century, primarily because of the conflicting character states and confusing morphology of certain taxa that indicate potential placement within other subfamilies. The unstable nature of phasiine taxonomy discourages important research into their classification, life history and potential use in biological control. In hopes of resolving several longstanding taxonomic debates and encouraging future research into this important group of parasitoids, the first molecular systematic analysis of Phasiinae is presented, including 128 worldwide taxa (80 genera) and approximately 7.6 kb of nuclear data representing four genes.

The broad-headed bugs (Alydidae) are divided into two subfamilies, Alydinae and Micrelytrinae, each divided into two tribes, Daclerini and Alydini, and Micrelytrini and Leptocorisini, respectively. The family has 53 genera and about 250 species; in the Neotropics, there are 21 genera. Alydids are small (8-20 mm), slender, with a triangular head; nymphs of alydines mimic ants, the adults of some Micrelytrini also mimic ants. The most studied species in the Neotropics is the alydine Neomegalotomus parvus (Westwood), usually associated with legumes, and may be a pest on soybean. Other common genera include Hyalymenus Amyot & Serville, Stenocoris Burmeister, Cydamus Stål, and Trachelium Herrich-Schäffer. Studies on taxonomy and bioecology on alydids of the Neotropics are needed.
