“…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.

The bamboo bug Notobitus meleagris (Fabricius, 1787) is a serious pest of bamboo shoots in China, India, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Singapore. The antennae of the nymphal instars and adults of N.meleagris are involved in communication among individuals and finding the host plants. In order to understand the morphology of antennal sensilla, their types, and the distribution of sensilla on the antennae of nymphal instars and adults in N. meleagris, we studied the morphology of antennal sensilla with a scanning electron microscope. The antennae of the nymphs and adults comprised the scape, pedicel, and two flagellomeres. Four types and eight subtypes of sensilla were identified in the nymphal instars (sensilla trichodea [St].1, St.2, St.3, sensilla basiconica [Sb].1, Sb.2, sensilla chaetica [Sc].1, Sc.2, sensilla coeloconica [Sco].1), whereas those of the adults had five types and eleven subtypes of sensilla (St.1, St.2, St.3, Sb.1, Sb.2, Sb.3, Sc.1, Sc.2, Sco.1, Sco.2, and sensilla campaniformia [Sca]). There are significant differences in the number, type, and size of the sensilla in different nymphal instars, which increases with the increase in nymphal instars. There was no sexual dimorphism observed in the adult sensilla; however, the length and diameter of St.3, Sb.2, and Sb.3 were sexually dimorphic. The potential functions of each sensillum were discussed based on the morphology and distribution of the antennal sensilla and were compared with similar published studies. Our results provide primary data for further research on the behavioral mechanism, green prevention, and control of N. meleagris.
