Carlos Berg
Carlos Berg (, ) or Friedrich Wilhelm Karl Berg (, ) (21 March 1843, Courland – 19 January 1902 Buenos Aires) was an Argentine naturalist and entomologist of Latvian and Baltic German origin. Having worked a few years in trade, he moved to Riga in 1865 and became curator of the entomological department of the Riga Museum, and then at the Riga Technical University. In 1873, he was invited by Hermann Burmeister (1807–1892), director of the Museum of Buenos Aires, to join him in Argentina. As early as 1874, Berg began an expedition to Patagonia to collect specimens for the museum. This first collecting trip was followed by others through Argentina, also in Chile and Uruguay. Apart from a period of two years from 1890 to 1892, spent at the Museo Nacional in Montevideo, he was based in Buenos Aires. He replaced Burmeister as the head of the museum in 1892. His first specialty was entomology, but he was also dedicated to paleontology and the study of vertebrates. Amongst h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pentatomoidea
The Pentatomoidea are a superfamily of insects in the suborder Heteroptera of the order Hemiptera. As hemipterans, they possess a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts. The roughly 7000 species under Pentatomoidea are divided into 21 families (16 extant and 5 extinct). Among these are the stink bugs and shield bugs, jewel bugs, giant shield bugs, and burrower bugs. Description The Pentatomoidea are characterised by a well-developed scutellum (the hardened extension of the thorax over the abdomen). It can be triangular to semielliptical in shape. The antennae typically have five segments. The tarsi usually have two or three segments. Shield bugs have glands that produce a foul-smelling liquid, which is used defensively to deter potential predators. Nymphs have glands on the dorsal surface of the abdomen (dorsal abdominal scent glands). These are often present in adults as well, but adults also develop a pair of glands on the metathorax (third segment of the thorax), ...

Cyptocephala Alvarengai
''Cyptocephala alvarengai'' is a species of stink bug from South America. Description ''Cyptocephala alvarengai'' is a stink bug species discovered in Brazil. Adults are small (5.2–8.3 mm) and range in color from light brown to green. ''C. alvarengai'' is found in dry habitats in northern and central South America, with no overlap with related species. It was described by Rolston (1986) based on multiple specimens, with the holotype stored at the Museu Nacional (UFRJ) in Brazil. Distribution Brazil; Ceará, Bahia, Minas Gerais, and Pernambuco. Research In 2012, adults were observed feeding on rice panicles at an experimental farm in Goiás. Specimens were identified at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, where voucher samples are stored. A research colony was later established from individuals collected in 2013 to study the species' biology and potential pest management strategies. In 2013, ''Cyptocephala alvarengai'' egg masses were collected from rice p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyptocephala Antiguensis
''Cyptocephala antiguensis'', the Antigua Stink Bug, is a species of stink bug. It is found in the United States, West Indies, Central America, and northern South America. Description This species varies in color, from a solid light tan to a rich green, often with ivory, reddish-brown, and black markings. These markings are especially noticeable as a multi-colored band across the back and a spot at the tip of the triangular scutellum. The sides of the head are either parallel or nearly parallel between the area in front of the eyes and the smoothly rounded tip. The head projections (juga) do not extend beyond the central part (tylus). The edges of the pronotum (area behind the head) are straight to slightly curved inward and not raised. The triangular scutellum is about 38-46% of its base width at a specific point. The sides of the body (pleura) are smooth without raised areas. The body length, not including the wings, is between 5.5 and 7.8 mm. The base plates are slightly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyptocephala Bimini
''Cyptocephala bimini'' is a species of stink bug. Description The antennae are usually a solid light green or tan color. Sometimes, the tip of the third segment and the last two segments are dark green. In rare cases, segments 4 and 5 have a broad, light reddish-brown band near the tip. The area behind the head (pronotum) does not have any noticeable markings or dips between the shoulders. The sides of the head narrow slightly between the area in front of the eyes and the smoothly rounded tip. Its front edges are mostly straight, only slightly curved outward. The triangular plate on the back ( scutellum) is about 30-38% of its base width at a specific point. The sides of the body (pleura) are smooth, without raised areas. The body length, not counting the wings, is between 6.5 and 8.8 mm. The space between the 9th pair of body segments is about 1.5 to 2 times the length of the 10th segment. The base plates have a slight bump in the middle. A ridge on the sides of the genita ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pentatomidae
Pentatomidae is a family of insects belonging to the order Hemiptera, generally called shield bugs or stink bugs. Pentatomidae is the largest family in the superfamily Pentatomoidea, and contains around 900 genera and over 4700 species.Robert G. Foottit, Peter H. Adler ''Insect Biodiversity: Science and Society'', John Wiley and Sons, 2009, As hemipterans, the pentatomids have Hemiptera#Mouthparts, piercing sucking mouthparts, and most are herbivore, phytophagous, including several species which are severe pests on Agriculture, agricultural crops. However, some species, particularly in the subfamily Asopinae, are predatory and may be considered beneficial. Etymology The name "Pentatomidae" is from the Greek language, Greek ''pente'' meaning "five" and ''tomos'' meaning "section", and refers to the five segments of their antennae. Pentatomids are generally called "shield bugs" in British English language , English, or "stink bugs" in American English. However, the term shield b ...

Monotypic Taxon
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of Genus, genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. Theoretical implications Monotypic taxa present several important theoretical challenges in biological classification. One key issue is known as "Gregg's Paradox": if a single species is the only member of multiple hierarchical levels (for example, being the only species in its genus, which is the only genus in its family), then each level needs a distinct definition to maintain logical structure. Otherwise, the different taxonomic ranks become effectively identical, which creates problems for organizing biological diversity in a hierarchical o ...
