The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability these threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising possibility bulk revision processes "inappropriate" names. It evident such proposals come from very deep feelings, but we show how can irreparably damage foundation biological communication and, turn, sciences depend on it. There are four essential consequences...
Abstract The introduction of alien species is one the main problems in conservation. Many successful invaders cause severe economic and ecological damage. Such case Leptoglossus occidentalis , a phytophagous true bug native to North America, which has become pest Europe, Asia, Africa South America. Within genus, another whose distributional range expanding toward east America clypealis . As climate determines establishment insects, identification climatically suitable areas for invasive...
Passiflora foetida is a climbing vine, native to the Neotropical Region that causing major economic and ecological damage in Australia, where it rapidly spreading. Traditional control options, such as cutting, manual uprooting, herbicide applications are only effective for local management. Currently, plant bug Engytatus passionarius most promising biological agent. Specificity tests performed its range Argentina suggest highly specific plant, has not been observed field associated with...
The study of the Heteroptera (Hemiptera) fauna El Impenetrable National Park, resulted in an inventory composed of: Alydidae (2 spp.), Aradidae (1 sp.), Belostomatidae (5 Berytidae Blissidae Coreidae (11 Corixidae Geocoridae Gerridae Hebridae Largidae (4 Lygaeidae Miridae (17 Nabidae Notonectidae Oxycarenidae Pachygronthidae Pachynomidae Pentatomidae (16 Pleidae Pyrrhocoridae Reduviidae (30 Rhopalidae Rhyparochromidae (12 Saldidae Scutelleridae Tingidae and Veliidae sp.). These findings...
Abstract BACKGROUND The South American tree Solanum mauritianum Scopoli (Solanaceae) is a problematic invasive plant in numerous tropical, subtropical and temperate regions around the globe. Because conventional management approaches are not cost‐effective, biological control provides an alternative approach. Gargaphia decoris Drake (Tingidae) currently used as agent Africa New Zealand. Considering importance of climate establishment success agent, this study ecological niche models (ENM) to...
Pycnoderes quadrimaculatus is a pest that feeds on several plants, many of which are economically important. It native to North/Central America and its distribution has expanded countries in South America.Ecological niche models show P. invaded regions with climates different from those range, there suitable climatic conditions for establishment worldwide. Regions where major threat possible natural pathways ingression were identified. In the future, will be modified by climate change.This...
Abstract Tympanoblissus ecuatorianus Dellapé & Minghetti, gen. et sp. nov. from the Amazon slope of Eastern Andean Cordillera in southern Ecuador is described. This constitutes second apterous genus known family Blissidae and first with a tymbal‐like mechanism sound production. The tiny males hide bamboo branches where they produce faint drumming sound. observed vertical vibration abdomen fused two tergites folding on both sides midline are consistent presence organ involving abdominal...
In this study two new genera and four species of Eccritotarsini (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Bryocorinae) are described. Thomasomiris gen. nov. is established to accommodate setosus sp. (from Panama) Egerocoris , described for E. ecuatorianus (the type species), dimorphus (both from Ecuador) chaparensis Bolivia). Adult habitus male genitalia photographs provided each species. A key also the affinities discussed.
Scaptocoris castanea Perty is an important soil-borne pest that attacks roots of various crops in all its stages. In South America it widely distributed and North there are two isolated records registered more than 40 years ago. Early detection prevention key features for management; therefore, having a detailed understanding the life cycle knowing how to identify stages invader essential. Despite importance S. agriculture, no descriptions or illustrations aid identification nymphs so here...
The study of the Heteroptera (Hemiptera) fauna Rio Pilcomayo National Park, resulted in an inventory composed of: Alydidae (3 spp.), Aradidae (1 sp.), Belostomatidae (4 Berytidae Blissidae Colobathristidae Coreidae Corixidae Cydnidae (12 Cymidae Gelastocoridae Geocoridae Gerridae Hebridae Largidae Lygaeidae (6 Miridae (14 Pachygronthidae Pachynomidae Pentatomidae Pyrrhocoridae Reduviidae (10 Rhopalidae (9 Rhyparochromidae (20 Saldidae Scutelleridae (2 Tingidae sp.).

Abstract The new plant bug Engytatus passionarius sp. nov. from Formosa province in northern Argentina is described. This dicyphine was always found association with the sticky herbaceous vine Passiflora (Dysosmia) foetida L. (Passifloraceae), a species native to Americas and an important invasive weed some countries including Australia. apparent host specificity, ability traverse adhesive exudates of glandular trichomes damage caused by nymphal adult feeding make E. interesting option for...
The monotypic Neotropical eccritotarsine genus Paraneella Carvalho (Heteroptera: Miridae) and its only included species, amazonica 1954, are diagnosed redescribed, new characters for their recognition provided, illustrated, photographed. amazonica, previously known from the type locality in Brazil, is reported first time Ecuador. Because holotype deposited at National Museum Rio de Janeiro was destroyed by fire, a neotype designated. placed “Neella-Neoneella complex” based on similarity with...
