... The fossil ochterids definitely contains four genera and five species (Kment et al., 2020), including the oldest on the fossil record-three genera and four species from the Early Cretaceous of China: Pristinochterus zhangi Yao et al., 2007, P. ovatus Yao et al., 2011, Angulochterus quatrimaculatus Yao et al., 2011, and Floricaudus multilocellus Yao et al., 2011, and one genus and species from Miocene Dominican amber: Riegerochterus baehri Popov and Heiss, 2014a. Fossil gelastocorids include three genera and five species, with two species from Early Cretaceous of Brazil (Ruf et al., 2005;Xie and Liu, 2018), two species from the mid-Cretaceous of Myanmar (Poinar and Brown, 2016) and one species from the late Holocene of Chile (Faúndez and Ashworth, 2015). Only one genus and species of Pseudonerthridae was reported: Pseudonerthra gigantea (Ruf et al., 2005), from the Early Cretaceous of Brazil. ...

... Every member of Pherolepis (cf., Figs. 4C−F, 5C) has the body larger, uniformly dark brown coloration, almost linear antennal segment II, less scalelike setae on the thoracic pleura and abdomen (Fig. 4C, E), shiny hemelytron (with scalelike setae restricted or missing in some species), and shortened and broadened right paramere (not much longer than wide), in addition to being associated only with deciduous broadleaf trees unlike the conifers (Kerzhner, 1988; Yasunaga, 2001; Zhang & Liu, 2009). In temperate and cold temperate climate zones in Japan, two pinaceous conifer inhabitants, Pilophorus miyamotoi Linnavuori and P. varidicornis Kerzhner (see above checklist), are known to have the wide head and ovoid, not much antlike body (HCR > 0.85) (Fig. 5A), as seen in Pherolepis. ...

... This phenomenon may be related to the industrial and population density and the subtropical monsoon climate in the PRD. It was reported that PFC concentrations in atmosphere were related to industrial types and distribution and population density (Liu et al. 2015;He et al. 2016). PFCs and their precursor compounds were delivered to southern PRD by the north wind, which had been confirmed by back trajectories of the PRD during the sampling period (Fig. S1). ...

... Due to high variability in shape, size, and orientation, and also to the lack of comparative studies within Pentatomidae, these structures have been cited with inconsistent terminology. In Asopinae, the processes have been treated as "dorsal processes" (e.g., Leston, 1954;Davidov a-Vilímov a and McPherson, 1992), "dorsal sclerites" (e.g., Zhao et al., 2013bZhao et al., , 2018Srikumar et al., 2018), "genital plates" (e.g., Baker, 1931;Usinger, 1941Usinger, , 1942McDonald, 1966;Thomas, 1994;Gapon and Konstantinov, 2006;Roell et al., 2019;Roca-Cusachs et al., 2019), "parandria" (e.g., Gross, 1975;Thomas, 1994;Gapon and Konstantinov, 2006;Gapon, 2009;Zhao et al., 2013aZhao et al., , 2016, "pseudoclaspers" (e.g., Zou et al., 2012), "pygophoral plates" (e.g. , Rolston and McDonald, 1979), and "superior processes of dorsal rim" (e.g., Brugnera et al., 2019Brugnera et al., , 2020 (Table 1). In other subfamilies of Pentatomidae, the processes have been treated as "dorsal plates" (e.g., Linnavuori, 1982;Kment, 2013), "dorsal processes" (e.g., Davidov a-Vilímov a and McPherson, 1992), "dorsal sclerites" (e.g., Kment and Jindra, 2009;Tsai and R edei, 2014); "genital cup processes" (e.g., Barcellos and Grazia, 2003;Matesco et al., 2007;Silva et al., 2004Silva et al., , 2006, "genital plates" (e.g., Baker, 1931;McDonald, 1966McDonald, , 1986, "parandria" (e.g., Gross, 1975), "processes of diaphragm" (e.g., Grazia and Teradeira, 1980;Grazia and Fortes, 1995;Grazia et al., 1994Grazia et al., , 1995Barcellos and Grazia, 1998), "processus sup erieurs" (e.g., Dupuis, 1955Dupuis, , 1970, "projections" (e.g., Baker, 1931;McDonald, 1966); "pseudoclaspers" (e.g., McDonald, 1974McDonald, , 1976, "superior lateral processes" (e.g., Sharp, 1890a,b), "superior processes" (e.g., Ferrari et al., 2010), "superior processes of dorsal rim" (e.g., Ferrari et al., 2010;Weiler et al., 2011;Schwertner and Grazia, 2012;Poock-da-Silva et al., 2013;Weiler et al., 2016;Grazia et al., 2016;Bianchi et al., 2017), and "superior processes of genital cup" (e.g., Bernardes et al., 2011;Correia and Fernandes, 2016) (Table 1). ...

The Eccritotarsini have a great morphological heterogeneity, including their general appearance, size, coloration, and genitalia (Konstantinov and Knyshov 2015;Namyatova et al. 2016;Konstantinov et al. 2018). Males exhibit several projections around the aperture of the genital capsule (Mu and Liu 2012;Henry and Howard 2016;Konstantinov and Zinovjeva 2016;Konstantinov et al. 2018;Menard and Schwartz 2018;Henry and Menard 2020), and internally (Menard and Schwartz 2018). The parameres are diverse, with the right paramere usually being larger and more complex than the left one (Konstantinov 2003;Namyatova et al. 2016;Konstantinov et al. 2018;Menard and Schwartz 2018;Henry and Menard 2020;Henry 2022). ...

... The assemblage of Pentatoma Olivier, 1789 and related genera forms a relatively species-rich phylogenetic lineage of Pentatomidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) in the East Palaearctic. Pentatoma in the broad sense contained 29 described species (Hsiao & Cheng 1977, Zheng & Ling 1983, Lin & Zheng 1987, Zheng & Li 1991, Liu & Zheng 1995, Zheng & Wang 1995, Rider 2006, He & Zheng 2006 until the early 2010's when Fan & Liu (2010, 2012 recognized the genus as non-monophyletic and removed part of the species into their newly proposed Ramivena Liu, 2010 andBifurcipentatoma Fan &Liu, 2012. As a result, the current, more narrowly defined Pentatoma contains 23 species, Ramivena 5 species, and Bifurcipentatoma 5 species. ...

However, the level of PFASs in the Guanting Reservoir was still higher than that from other reservoirs, including those in Singapore (PFOA, (Nguyen et al., 2012;Liu et al., 2015;Zhang et al., 2017). Concentrations of PFASs in sediment of the Guanting Reservoir (0.403-1.03 ng/g d.w.) were relatively lower compared with those from the Yongding Watershed (Table S7). ...

... Froeschner (2000) emended the names of both Blaudusinae and Blaudusini to Blaudinae and Blaudini being the only author who used these names. In addition, subsequent taxonomic or nomenclatural works on this group did not follow that fixation (i.e., Kment, 2006;Faúndez 2009a, b;Carvajal & Faúndez 2013;Faúndez 2014;Carvajal et al. 2014;Wang et al. 2015;Tsai et al. 2015). Therefore, according the article 29.5 of the ICZN (1999): "If a spelling of a family-group name was not formed in accordance with Article 29.3 but is in prevailing usage, that spelling is to be maintained, whether or not it is the original spelling and whether or not its derivation from the name of the type genus is in accordance with the grammatical procedures in Articles." ...
