Lasiochilidae
Lasiochilinae is a subfamily of bugs, in the family Anthocoridae; some authorities place this at family level: "Lasiochilidae". It is most diverse in tropical areas, especially in the New World. Tribes and genera ''BioLib'' includes: ;tribe Lasiochilini Carayon, 1972 # '' Lasiochilus'' Reuter, 1871 # '' Plochiocoris'' Champion, 1900 ;''incertae sedis'' # '' Eusolenophora'' Poppius, 1909 # '' Lasiellidea'' Reuter, 1895 # '' Lasiocolpus'' Reuter, 1884 # '' Oplobates'' Reuter, 1895 # '' Plochiocorella'' Poppius, 1909 Systematics Phylogenetic work in 1991 and later in 2009 suggested that "Lasiochilidae" could be treated as a family separate from Anthocoridae (as well as the recognition of the family Lyctocoridae). This has been followed by some studies but not others. Description Lasiochilinae are similar to other Anthocoridae (if treated as its own family, it is similar to Lyctocoridae and to Anthocoridae), such as male genitalia being asymmetrical with a reduced right paramer ...

Cimicomorpha
The Cimicomorpha are an infraorder of insects in the order Hemiptera, the true bugs. The Rostrum (anatomy), rostrum and other Morphology (biology), morphology of some members apparently is adapted to feeding on animals as their prey or host (biology), hosts. Members include Bed bug, bed bugs, bat bugs, assassin bugs, and pirate bugs. The two infraorders Cimicomorpha and Pentatomorpha have very similar characteristics, possibly as a result of the evolution of plant feeding. The key similarity that unites the Cimicomorpha and Pentatomorpha is the loss of the arolia (adhesive pads) on the pretarsi of the insects. These two infraorders comprise 90% of Heteroptera species. These insects are a part of the old, informal classification of “Geocorisae” (land bugs). Among these bugs, parental care has evolved several times. Parental care varies from brooding of the eggs by the female, to a more active form that involves protection of young against predators and the female covering the ...

Anthocoridae
Anthocoridae is a family of bugs, commonly called minute pirate bugs or flower bugs. Worldwide there are 500-600 species. Description Anthocoridae are 1.5–5 mm long and have soft, elongated oval, flat bodies, often patterned in black and white. The head is extended forward and the antennae are longer than the head and visible from above. They possess a piercing and sucking three-segmented beak or labium used to inject prey with digestive enzymes and consume food. In general appearance, they resemble common plant bugs (Miridae), but Anthocoridae differ by their possession of two ocelli as adults. Anthocorids possess two pairs of wings with hemelytra and membranous hindwings. Many species are referred to as insidious flower bugs or pirate bugs. The scientific name is a combination of the Greek words ''anthos'' "flower" and ''koris'' "bug". Habitat and behaviour Many species can be found in cryptic habitats such as galls, but can also be present in open surface environm ...

Hemiptera
Hemiptera (; ) is an order of insects, commonly called true bugs, comprising more than 80,000 species within groups such as the cicadas, aphids, planthoppers, leafhoppers, assassin bugs, bed bugs, and shield bugs. They range in size from to around , and share a common arrangement of piercing-sucking mouthparts. The name "true bugs" is sometimes limited to the suborder Heteroptera. Entomologists reserve the term ''bug'' for Hemiptera or Heteroptera,Gilbert Waldbauer. ''The Handy Bug Answer Book.'' Visible Ink, 1998p. 1. which does not include other arthropods or insects of other orders such as ants, bees, beetles, or butterflies. In some varieties of English, all terrestrial arthropods (including non-insect arachnids and myriapods) also fall under the colloquial understanding of ''bug''. Many insects with "bug" in their common name, especially in American English, belong to other orders; for example, the lovebug is a fly and the Maybug and ladybug are beetles. ...

Lyctocoridae
Lyctocoridae is a reconstituted family of bugs, formerly classified within the minute pirate bugs of the family Anthocoridae. It is widely distributed, with one species ('' Lyctocoris campestris''), being cosmopolitan. Description Lyctocoridae range in length from 2 mm to 6 mm. They have tarsi 3-segmented, forewing with a costal fracture and with weakly developed veins in the membrane, laterotergites on all abdominal terga, and male genitalia strongly asymmetrical (left paramere larger than the right). Overall they resemble the related family Anthocoridae, but can be distinguished by: * In males, the left paramere is flat, with a single-sheet form, and without a median sulcus. The phallus is tubular and well visible, with ductus seminis striated transversely and extended apically by a needle-shaped acus. * In females, there are genital apophyses in the anterior region of abdominal sternum 7. Diet Lyctocoridae are mostly predators of small, soft-bodied arthropods, though '' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
