White-crossed Seed Bug?

(Aside: there's no hyphen in "Whitecrossed" in BG's common name for the species, but probably there should be one?)

RE: Hyphen
Don't go there! Online (on-line?) usage appears to be fairly evenly divided. In the sense of traditional grammar, there would be a comma. In the sense of contemporary usage, I'd think not. However, in this case, the meaning is understood either way. (I'm a retired writer.)
