William Dallas
William Sweetland Dallas (1824–1890) was a British zoologist and curator. He curated collections at the British Museum and the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, and was editor of the ''Popular Science Review''. Biography He was appointed Keeper of the Yorkshire Museum in 1858, at the age of 31 and already married with four children at the time. Dallas was an editor and translator for the ''Zoological Record'', the '' Annals and Magazine of Natural History'' and the ''Popular Science Review''. In 1868 he was elected to the post of Assistant Secretary of the Geological Society, resulting in his resignation from the role of Keeper. Notably, he translated ''Facts and Arguments for Darwin'' by German biologist Fritz Müller into English. He also translated Karl Theodor Ernst von Siebold's ''Wahre Parthenogenesis bei Schmetterlingen und Bienen (1856)'' into English as ''On a true parthenogenesis in moths and bees'' and created the index for Charles Darwin's ''The Varia ...

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 ...

Hemiptera Of South America
Hemiptera (; ) is an order of insects, commonly called true bugs, comprising over 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 often 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 variations 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. The term is also occas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
