Full Title: Assessing genetic diversity in four stink bug species, Chinavia hilaris, Chlorochroa uhleri, Chlorochroa sayi, and Thyanta pallidovirens (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), using DNA barcodes.

This study found greater levels of genetic divergence between west coast Chinavia and their eastern counterparts than the level of genetic divergence present between two other members of Nezarini: Chlorochroa uhleri and Chlorochroa sayi. The two Chlorochroa species are closely related and considered to be cryptic species. Considered in combination with differences in adult antennal coloration and n

Abstract

The species composition and abundance of stink bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in corn, Zea mays L., was determined in this on-farm study in Georgia. Seven species of phytophagous stink bugs were found on corn with the predominant species being Nezara viridula (L.) and Euschistus servus (Say). All developmental stages of these two pests were found, indicating they were developing on the corn crop.
