Urostylididae is a moderately species-rich family of phytophagous, mainly arboricolous pentatomoid true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) currently comprising 8 genera and 172 species (Rider et al. 2018). All described occur in Asia, but undescribed taxa are present Madagascar (P. Štys, pers. comm.).

The genus recognized as a generalized member of the clade Pentatoma Olivier, 1789 related genera, phylogenetically closest relative probably Cervicoris Hsiao Cheng, 1977.
The genus Tmetopis Kiritshenko, 1947 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae) and its type species T. chinensis 1947, distributed in central southern China, are redescribed illustrated. is recognized as the probable sister group of Prionaca Dallas, 1851. following new subjective synonymies combinations proposed: = hunanensis Lin & Zhang, 1989, syn. nov. P. jiangxiensis hubeiensis Zhao, 1990, nov.; sikkimensis (Mathew, 1969), comb. (transferred from Degonetus Distant, 1902)....
The identity of Metochus abbreviatus Scott, 1874 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae: Rhyparochrominae: Rhyparochromini) is clarified based on reexamination the lectotype. subjective synonymy Dieuches kreyenbergi Breddin, 1906 with M. confirmed. following new synonymies are proposed: Rhyparochromus erosus Walker, 1872 = 1874, syn. nov. holsti Distant, 1918, Bibliographies names provided and it demonstrated that name in prevailing usage. Reversion to senior Rh. considered be...
The species of the genus Elasmostethus Fieber, 1860 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Acanthosomatidae) occurring in Korean Peninsula are reviewed. Six recognized; occurrence four previously recorded species, including E. brevis Lindberg, 1934, humeralis Jakovlev, 1883, interstinctus (Linnaeus, 1758), and nubilus (Dallas, 1851) is confirmed; two rotundus Yamamoto, 2003, yunnanus Hsiao & Liu, 1977, for first time from Korea. record kansuensis based on misidentification yunnanus, former deleted...
Heteroptera are among the most diverse hemimetabolous insects. Seven infraorders have been recognized within this suborder of Hemiptera. Apart from well-established sister-group relationship between Cimicomorpha and Pentatomomorpha (= Terheteroptera), two terminal lineages, relationships other five still controversial, which three (Gerromorpha, Nepomorpha Leptopodomorpha) intimately connected to aquatic environments. However, various often conflicting available phylogeny hypotheses do not...
Aphelonotus schuhi sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pachynomidae: Aphelonotinae) is described from Puerto Rico based on a single male collected by flight interception trap. The new species morphologically similar to A. taino Schuh, Weirauch & Grillo, 2015 and xenos 2015, being distinguished them the combination of presence stout subapical spine protibia characteristic shape parameres. An informal species-group proposed accommodate these three species.
Abstract The phylogeny of true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), one the most diverse insect groups in terms morphology and ecology, has been focus attention for decades with respect to several deep nodes between suborders Hemiptera infraorders Heteroptera. Here, we assembled a phylogenomic data set 53 taxa 3102 orthologous genes investigate Hemiptera–Heteroptera, both concatenation coalescent methods were used. A binode‐control approach filtering was introduced reduce incongruence different...
The Indomalayan species of the genus Alphocoris Germar, 1839 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Scutelleridae: Odontotarsinae: Odontotarsini) are revised. Three species, A. caudatus Rédei, Tsai Jindra, sp. nov.

More than 95% of phytophagous true bug (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) species belong to four superfamilies: Miroidea (Cimicomorpha), Pentatomoidea, Coreoidea, and Lygaeoidea (all Pentatomomorpha). These iconic groups highly diverse, overwhelmingly insects include several economically prominent agricultural silvicultural pest species, though their evolutionary history has not yet been well resolved. In particular, superfamily- family-level phylogenetic relationships these lineages have remained...
Abstract. 1. Agricultural intensification is a major cause of biodiversity loss in European farmlands. Grasslands are particularly important habitats for the conservation rich insect assemblages Central and Eastern Europe. Although regular grazing or mowing these grasslands required to maintain diversity, there no information about how such management other factors influence Hemiptera assemblages. 2. We studied leafhopper true bug semi‐natural three regions Great Hungarian Plain....
The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) is recorded for the first time from Hungary. circumstances of finding this species and a detailed description both male female genitalia are given. currently known distribution, biology significance briefly reviewed.
Insecta s. str. (=Ectognatha), comprise the largest and most diversified group of living organisms, accounting for roughly half biodiversity on Earth. Understanding insect relationships specific time intervals their episodes radiation extinction are critical to any comprehensive perspective evolutionary events. Although some deeper nodes have been resolved congruently, complete evolution insects has remained obscure due lack direct fossil evidence. Besides, various phases corresponding...
