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.

(Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) is recorded here for the first time in Italy as a parasitoid of the whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), one of the most invasive alien pests of exotic species. originating from the Oriental region, has established a global presence. Monitoring of the whitefly and its parasitoids was conducted in the southern areas of Italy, providing crucial insights into their distribution and interactions.

The cotton mealybug, Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), is an invasive polyphagous pest that has been reported in several tomato-producing Mediterranean countries. However, information regarding the impact of temperature variations on its potential damage and population dynamics on this crop is limited. The effect of four temperatures (20 ± 1 °C, 25 ± 1 °C, 30 ± 1 °C and 35 ± 1 °C) on the development, reproduction, and population growth parameters of on tomatoes under controlled laboratory conditions was investigated using age-stage two-sex life tables.

Purpose: The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is an invasive and a highly polyphagous species with a strong dispersal capacity. Unfortunately, there is currently no effective control method that can prevent or reduce the economic loss caused by this pest. Among natural enemies, microsporidia cause infections in insects so that they can generally shorten life span, reduce fertility and inhibit growth.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The cotton jassid, Amrasca biguttula, a dangerous and polyphagous pest, has recently invaded the Middle East, Africa and South America, raising concerns about the future of cotton and other food crops including okra, eggplant and potato. However, its potential distribution remains largely unknown, posing a challenge in developing effective phytosanitary strategies. We used an ensemble model of six machine-learning algorithms including random forest, maxent, support vector machines, classification and regression tree, generalized linear model and boosted regression trees to forecast the potential distribution of A.
