Pygoda Polita
''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 ...

Charles Jean-Baptiste Amyot
Charles Jean-Baptiste Amyot (23 September 1799, in Vendreeuv – 13 October 1866, in Paris) was a French lawyer and entomologist especially interested in the Hemiptera. After his father died, Amyot lived with a neighbor, a wealthy merchant, who was also an entomologist, Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville. They become life-long friends, and Audinet-Serville advised Amyot to specialize in the Hemiptera, which at the time was being ignored by serious entomologists. In 1822, Amyot became a lawyer, but he continued to study the Hemiptera. In 1833, he published a work on civil law, ''Institutes, ou Principes des lois civiles'' (''Institutes, or the principles of civil law''). In 1843, together with Audinet-Serville, he published ''Histoire naturelle des insectes hémiptères'' (''The Natural History of the Hemiptera Insects''). Amyot was also interested in applied entomology and wrote several publications devoted to insect pests and how to fight them. Amyot later became the president o ...

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.
