Abstract

Pentatomid bugs, commonly known as stink bugs, are typically herbivorous insects known for their piercing-sucking feeding habits on crops and wild plants. Among these stink bugs, Spermatodes variolosus (Walker, 1867) stands out as the smallest species, measuring 2.6-2.9 mm, and is also known to be phytophagous. In this study, we report the presence of seven species from six different genera of stink bugs in the rice fields of Cooch Behar, West Bengal. Notably, this research marks the first documented occurrence of Spermatodes variolosus (Walker, 1867) in the rice ecosystem of India, raising concerns about its potential pest status. Furthermore, this study includes taxonomic keys for the six genera identified.

首次报告：印度西孟加拉邦德赖稻田中的印度水稻生态系统中的 Spermatodes variolosus（Walker，1867 年）以及五蠹分类学

五蠹蝽，俗称臭虫，是典型的草食性昆虫，以刺吸农作物和野生植物为生。在这些蝽类中，Spermatodes variolosus（Walker，1867 年）是最小的物种，体长 2.6-2.9 毫米，也是已知的植食性蝽类。在这项研究中，我们报告了西孟加拉邦库奇比哈尔稻田中存在的来自 6 个不同蝽属的 7 个物种。值得注意的是，这项研究首次记录了 Spermatodes variolosus（Walker，1867 年）在印度水稻生态系统中的出现，引起了人们对其潜在害虫地位的关注。此外，这项研究还包括了已确定的六个属的分类学钥匙。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research (JEAR), formerly the Bollettino di Zoologia Agraria e di Bachicoltura of the Institute of Entomology of the Università degli Studi, Milano, was founded in 1928 by Remo Grandori. Thereafter, Minos Martelli and Luciano Süss hold the direction of the Journal until December 2011. In January 2012 the Editor decided for the new open-access on-line version of JEAR. The Journal publishes original research papers concerning Arthopods, but reviews, editorials, technical reports, brief notes, conference proceeding, letters to the Editor, book reviews are also welcome. JEAR has four main areas of interest: -Entomology (systematics; morphology; biology; biotechnology; agriculture, ornamental and forest entomology; applied entomology; integrated pest management; biological control; apiculture and apidology; medical, urban and veterinary entomology; etc.) -Stored product pests (biology; integrated pest management; etc.) -Insect Ecology (behaviour; biodiversity; taxonomy; plant insect interaction and ecosystems; biological control; alien species; etc.) -Acarology (systematics; morphology; biology; parasitology; control; etc.) The publication of manuscripts is subject to the approval of the Section Editor who has knowledge of the field discussed in the manuscript in accordance with the principles of Peer Review; referees will be selected from the Editorial Board or among qualified scientists of the international scientific community. Articles must be written in English and must adhere to the guidelines and details contained in the Instructions to Authors.
