In recent years, an undescribed species of Unaspis MacGillivray (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae) has become a damaging pest on the fruit crop Lansium domesticum Corrêa (family Meliaceae) in the Philippines.

A new replacement name is proposed for the species Tropidocephalaspeciosa Ding, 2006 (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Delphacidae: Tropidocephalini), preoccupied by Tropidocephalaspeciosa (Bierman, 1908): Tropidocephaladingi Sun, Yang & Chen, nom. n. = Tropidocephalaspeciosa Ding, 2006. The photographs and illustrations of this species are also provided.

The corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is an important corn pest in most of tropical and subtropical America. This leafhopper has a rich natural enemy complex of which parasitoids and pathogens are the most studied; knowledge on its predators is limited. We noted the presence of the native assassin bug Zelus obscuridorsis (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) predating diverse motile ...

Hemiptera, the largest non-holometabolous order of insects, represents approximately 7% of metazoan diversity. With extraordinary life histories and highly specialized morphological adaptations, hemipterans have exploited diverse habitats and food sources through approximately 300 Myr of evolution. To elucidate the phylogeny and evolutionary history of Hemiptera, we carried out the most compreh...

Two new species, Ooencyrtus alrake Hayat, sp. nov. and Syrphophagus wayanadensis Hayat, sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Encyrtidae), are described from material collected in Kerala State (India) from Trioza jambolanae Crawford (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Triozidae), a leaf gall-inducer on species of Syzygium (Myrtaceae). Two species, Psyllaephagus garuga S. Singh and P. phacopteron S. Singh, b...

This paper uses a methodology based in fuzzy sets theory in order to describe the interaction between the prey, Aphis glycines (Hemiptera: Aphididae) the soybean aphid, and its predator, Orius insidiosus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae). Economic thresholds were already developed for this pest. The aim of this investigation was to develop a simple and specific methodology by fuzzy rule-based system to...

Toumeyella parvicornis (Cockerell), the Pine tortoise scale, is reported for the first time from Europe. Pre-imaginal instars and adults were observed starting from the fall of 2014 in several municipalities of Campania (Italy). Since the species is recorded as a harmful pest of several pine species in North America and the Caribbean, the presence of this alien insect in Europe is alarming and ...
