It was first described as ''Edessa civilis'' by Gustav Breddin in 1903 and renamed under genus ''Pygoda ''Pygoda'' is a New World genus of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae.

Gustav Breddin

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 piercing sucking mouthparts, and most are phytophagous, including several species which are severe pests on 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 ''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, or "stink bugs" in American English. However, the term shield bugs is also applied broadly to include several related families (e.g. Acant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pygoda
''Pygoda'' is a New World genus of stink bugs in the family Pentatomidae. It was formerly considered a subgenus of ''Edessa (bug), Edessa'' but was elevated to genus based on morphological traits: species grouped under ''Pygoda'' share a distinctive set of features from body, male external genitalia, and male and female internal genitalia that are very different from any other subgenus of ''Edessa''. Species The following species belong to the genus ''Pygoda'': * ''Pygoda amianta'' Fernandes, Nascimento & Nunes, 2018 * ''Pygoda civilis'' (Breddin, 1903) * ''Pygoda expolita'' (Distant, 1892) * ''Pygoda irrorata'' (Dallas, 1851) * ''Pygoda poecila'' Fernandes, Nascimento & Nunes, 2018 * ''Pygoda polita'' (Lepeletier & Serville, 1825) * ''Pygoda ramosa'' Fernandes, Nascimento & Nunes, 2018 * ''Pygoda thoracica'' (Dallas, 1851) * ''Pygoda variegata'' Fernandes, Nascimento & Nunes, 2018 References Pentatomidae Pentatomomorpha genera {{Pentatomidae-stub ...

Invertebrates Of Ecuador
Invertebrates are a paraphyletic group of animals that neither possess nor develop a vertebral column (commonly known as a ''backbone'' or ''spine''), derived from the notochord. This is a grouping including all animals apart from the chordate subphylum Vertebrata. Familiar examples of invertebrates include arthropods, mollusks, annelids, echinoderms and cnidarians. The majority of animal species are invertebrates; one estimate puts the figure at 97%. Many invertebrate taxa have a greater number and variety of species than the entire subphylum of Vertebrata. Invertebrates vary widely in size, from 50 μm (0.002 in) rotifers to the 9–10 m (30–33 ft) colossal squid. Some so-called invertebrates, such as the Tunicata and Cephalochordata, are more closely related to vertebrates than to other invertebrates. This makes the invertebrates paraphyletic, so the term has little meaning in taxonomy. Etymology The word "invertebrate" comes from the Latin word ''vertebra'', which ...
