A new genus, Iberolygus Kim, Goula Jung, gen. nov. is described from the Iberian Peninsula to accommodate the species Apolygus rubrostriatus (Wagner, 1971) based on re-examination of Iberian specimens.

New genus and species of ant-like true bug (Hemiptera: Miridae) from the Canary Islands.

Perenotus gen. nov. is described based on males and females from the Canary Islands, Spain.

Biodiversity analysis of true bug assemblages (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) in four habitats in the Garraf Natural Park (Barcelona, Spain).

With the aim of gaining insight into true bugs assemblages, and of giving tools to enhance environmental manager tasks, an analysis was made of the alpha and beta diversity of true bug assemblages in the NE Iberian Peninsula. The study took place during the years 1999, 2000, and 2001. The diversity of true bug assemblages among four typical Mediterranean plant communities (dry grassland, calcicolous rosemary scrub, kermes oak scrub, and evergreen oak forest) in a protected natural area was compared.

Photosharing websites may improve Hemiptera biodiversity knowledge and conservation.

Internet photosharing websites is a very recent and powerful tool for the study of biodiversity, and a meeting point of general public fond of nature and professional naturalists. The article discusses when an uploaded picture is scientifically valuable, and the benefits of structured hosting websites for the most fruitful information retrieval. Examples are given of faunistic, biological, ecological and conservation results concerning Hemiptera provided by information download from photosharing websites.

Population density and distribution of wheat bugs infesting durum wheat in Sardinia, Italy.

Wheat is a very important crop in Italy, and is infested by wheat bugs belonging to the genera Eurygaster (Hemiptera: Scutellaridae) and Aelia (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Many wheat bug infestations have been reported in the north, south, and center of Italy, both in the past as well as recently. The present study was carried out in Sardinia, Italy, during two years (2007 and 2008).
