Description d'un Psallus de Turquie
In June 2018 a serious infestation of chilli pepper plants and tomato seedlings was observed which caused major crop losses. This infestation was caused by Nysius cymoides (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae: Orsillinae). The insect was also seen nearby on barley and oilseed rape as well as on newly planted olive trees, acacia and some weeds. This is the first...
Collaria bourbonica n. sp. est décrite de l’île de la Réunion (Mascareignes) où elle semble largement distribuée, principalement en altitude. L’habitus et les genitalia sont illustrés pour les deux sexes. La nouvelle espèce se distingue des autres Collaria par un ensemble de caractères : teinte, pilosité, genitalia mâles.
The authors report the presence of Pilophorus scutellaris Reuter, 1902, new Miride for the fauna of France.
dry seasons, to assess their potential as pests. Twelve plant bug species were collected over the two seasons. In 2015, Miridae represented nearly 60 % of all Heteroptera. In 2014, Campylomma spp. were dominant, representing nearly two thirds of all plant bugs, while in 2015, Taylorilygus (T. cf. vosseleri), was dominant. The two specimens of Ortho...
Résumé. — Chlamydatus (Euattus) longirostris Reuter, 1905, connu seulement par quelques spécimens en Europe (France, Espagne, Croatie), n’avait pas été retrouvé en France depuis plus de quarante ans. La découverte de trois individus, en juin 2015 sur deux sites de la commune de Leucate (Aude), fait de cette localité la quatrième connue en France po...
The plant bug Moissonia importunitas (Distant‚ 1910) is reported for the first time from Réunion Island‚ where it severely damages rattle box (Crotalaria) species currently evaluated as potential service plants (particularly for soil fertility enhancement and nematode management) to be included in pineapple‚ sugarcane and fruit tree cropping system...
Heteroptera as one of the most important insect orders with a significant ecological role is still scarcely known faunistically in several areas of Iran. In order to contribute to the knowledge of the Iranian Heteroptera fauna, a survey was carried out to provide detailed information on the distribution of true bugs in South Khorasan province (Ghae...
Hyalochilus gomyi Matocq, n. sp., est décrit de l’île de la Réunion. L’habitus, l’evaporatorium des glandes métathoracique, l’abdomen, les genitalia mâles et femelles sont illustrés.

The roof (dorsal wall) of the female genital chamber (bursa copulatrix) was compared in 31 species representing six subgenera of the taxonomically difficult genus Psallus Fieber, 1858. This investigation tested the potential value of different elements of the dorsal wall (dorsal sac, sclerotized rings, spermathecal gland, lateral oviducts, and info...
In Miridae, the roof (dorsal wall) of the female genital chamber (bursa copulatrix) is often neglected in taxonomic studies, rarely represented in its entirety and its importance is usually underestimated. It contains several organs that are relevant for taxonomy and phylogeny, namely the ringed glands (parieto-vaginal glands) encircled by the wide...
Orthotylus stysi Kožišková, 1967, Heterocordylus italicus Kerzhner & Schuh, 1995 et Psallus faniae Josifov, 1974 sont signalés pour la première fois en France. Ces trois espèces ont vraisemblablement été confondues jusqu’ici avec des espèces très proches, sans doute du fait d’un changement de nomenclature relativement récent pour la première, et de...
L’espèce invasive Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé, 2006, continue sa dispersion à travers le Monde. Elle est ici signalée pour la première fois de l’île de la Réunion où elle a été récoltée, en 2013 et 2014, dans plusieurs localités. Cinq spécimens de l’île ont été séquencés et comparés aux séquences de Thaumastocoris disponibles dan...
Biological invasions are recognized as one of the major threats to island biodiversity conservation, and numerous studies have been conducted around the world to restore the biodiversity of islands submitted to invasive species impacts. However, few scientific post-eradication studies were piloted notably for the biodiversity assessment of Arthropo...
SUMMARY.— Simultaneous eradications of Black Rat (Rattus rattus) and Ice plants (Carpobrotus spp.) on Bagaud Island (Port-Cros National Park, Provence, France): preliminary results on their impacts on Athropods communities.— Biological invasions are recognized as one of the major threats to island biodiversity conservation, and numerous studies hav...
The female of Plinthisus heterochtus Matocq & Pluot-Sigwalt, 2013 is described from Italy (Ligurian Alps) on two brachypterous specimens. The habitus is very similar to that of the male; it differs by the protibiae hardly curved and devoid of a tooth-like spicule, and by the absence of a metapleural conical tubercle. The spermatheca is figured but...

The species list includes...
Psallus (Apocremnus) aethiops (Zetterstedt, 1840) est signalé pour la première fois en France. Il a été capturé dans le département du Doubs, au sein d’une zone humide colonisée par des Saules cendrés (Salix cinerea L.), au battage desquels l’espèce a été découverte. D’autres observations relatives à plusieurs espèces rares ou peu répandues en Fran...
La femelle de Plinthisus heteroclitus Matocq & Pluot-Sigwalt, 2013, jusqu'ici inconnue, est décrite d'Italie (Alpes liguriennes) sur deux individus brachyptères. L'habitus est pratiquement semblable à celui du mâle ; il en diffère par des protibias faiblement courbés et dépourvus de spicule, et par l'absence de tubercule conique métapleural. La spe...

RÉSUMÉ De 2007 à 2009, des explorations menées au Maroc en milieux cultivés mettent en évidence pour la première fois la présence de populations larvaires des punaises du genre Lygus et du parasitoïde larvaire Peristenus relictus. Après ces collections, l'exportation, les études menées en quarantaine, l'identification, la caractérisation, la mise e...
A host may be physically isolated in space and then may correspond to a geographical island, but it may also be separated from its local neighbours by hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history, and may form in this case an evolutionarily distinct island. We test how this affects the assembly processes of the host's colonizers, this ques...
The anthocorid Montandoniola moraguesi (Puton), an oligophagous predator of thrips, is widely used as a biological agent. It was introduced in 1964 from the Philippine Islands to control the Cuban laurel thrips (Gynaikothrips ficorum) in Bermuda, and then in Hawaii and other localities. Examination of specimens from various parts of the world, and...

RÉSUMÉ Des explorations menées en Europe en milieux cultivés, mettent en évidence la présence de parasitoïdes larvaires du genre Peristenus à partir de populations de punaises du genre Lygus. Introduites, puis lâchées aux USA les espèces européennes P. digoneutis et P. stygicus se sont acclimatées à Lygus lineolaris sur la côte Est et Lygus hesperu...
RESUMÉ : Les punaises du genre Lygus Hahn (Hemiptera : Miridae) sont en Amérique du Nord des ravageurs de nombreuses cultures. Les parasitoïdes indigènes du genre Peristenus (Hymenoptera : Braconidae), n'ont qu'un faible impact sur les populations de ces ravageurs. Le Laboratoire European Biological Control Laboratory a pour mission l'exploration,...
Les vingt-quatre espèces actuellement attribuées au genre Megalocoleus sont réexaminées après étude de tous les types disponibles. Les genitalia mâles et femelles apportent des caractères discriminants beaucoup plus fiables que les caractères externes et sont souvent indispensables pour séparer les espèces. Quelques caractères externes se révèlent...
The 24 species assigned to the genus Megalocoleus are re-examined after study of all available types. The male and female genitalia provide much more reliable diagnostic characters than do external characters and are often essential for distinguishing species. Nevertheless some external characters are useful but particularly difficult to apply to s...
Lectotypes are designated in the collection of the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, for 4 varieties or forms described by d’Antessanty (1891), Royer (1911) and Péneau (1911).
Les auteurs complètent et rectifient la liste des Hétéroptères du département du Lot établie en 1992. Des considérations sont faites sur la capture exceptionnelle de Stethoconus pyri.
Cette note mentionne, pour la premiere fois, la presence en France (Corse) de S. bilunatum. L'examen d'environ 80 specimens de differentes provenances nous permet d'apporter quelques precisions sur cette espece : variabilite morphologique, stades immatures, plantes-hotes, distribution geographique.
