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 species occur in Asia, but undescribed taxa are present in Madagascar (P. Štys, pers. comm.). The present short paper was prompted by a recent contribution by Kim et al. (2018), who reviewed the species of the genus Urostylis Westwood, 1837, occurring in Korea, including the description of a purportedly new species, U. koreana Kim Jung, 2018. The identity of the latter species is clarified below, with proposal of a new subjective synonymy.

Plants produce defensive toxins to deter herbivores. In response, some specialized herbivores evolved resistance and even the capacity to sequester toxins, affecting interactions at higher trophic levels. Here, we test the hypothesis that potential natural enemies of specialized herbivores are differentially affected by plant toxins depending on their level of adaptation to the plant-herbivore system.

The small black stem bug, Paratibraca (= Glyphepomis) spinosa (Campos and Grazia 1998), is a rice pest in Brazil and is part of a complex of stink bugs that includes Oebalus poecilus (Dallas) and Tibraca limbativentris Stål. Together, these pentatomid species pose a serious threat to rice crops throughout South America. In this study, we identified the sex pheromone of P.

Morphometry is an effort to describe or measure the morphology of the body, or parts of it. It also provides quantitative data on the interactions of living organisms with their environment, external or internal. As a discipline, morphometrics has undergone significant developments in the last decade, making its implementation more visual and less laborious.

The nomenclatural and taxonomic issues regarding the thread-legged bug genera Kirkaldy, 1901 and Bergroth, 1903 are reviewed, and is concluded to be the valid name of the genus. A comprehensive review of is conducted, resulting in 18 new combinations and two new synonymies [ (Villiers, 1970) , (Ghate, Boyane & Joshi, 2019) , (Bergroth, 1903) , (McAtee & Malloch, 1926) , (Paiva, 1919) , (Lhoste, 1939) = Miller, 1956 , (Kulkarni & Ghate, 2016) , (Ribes, 1987) , (Lhoste, 1939) , (McAtee & Malloch, 1926) , (Villiers, 1972) , (Wygodzinsky, 1966) , (Wygodzinsky, 1966) , (Distant, 1906) , (Villiers, 1970) , (Horváth, 1910) , (Villiers, 1949) = Miller, 1954 , and (Rédei, 2005) ]. The bibliographies, diagnosis, and known distribution records are presented for all described species, and three new species [ (from Yunnan, China), (from Sabah, Malaysia), and (from Sulawesi, Indonesia)] are described.
