True Bugs

Erthesina fullo (Thunberg, 1783) is recorded for the first time in Europe. Collected specimens in 2020 from Albania were identified by comparing the length of their rostrum. This species can acclimatize on two local trees, namely Tilia cordata Miller, 1768 and Ziziphus jujuba Miller, 1768.

Resumen: Los Heteróptera son terrestres, semiacuáticos o acuáticos, que varían de 0,5 a 1,10 mm de longitud. Los miembros de esta amplia y diversa familia son muy variadas en tamaño (1,2 a 12 mm) y forma. Los individuos familia Lygaeidae son conocidos como "chinches de las semillas" porque se alimentan de semillas maduras, aunque algunas especies succionan savia o son entomófagos. En Perú la diversidad de subfamilias no está determinada debido al poco de estudio de su taxonomía. Se describe el diagnóstico de tres subfamilias en este informe: Lygaeinae (225), Orsilininae (24) y Ischnorhynchinae (14). El material registrado pertenece a la colección del Museo de Entomología Klaus Raven Büller en Laboratorio de Recepción de Muestras de la Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina Lima -Perú. Abstract: The Heteroptera are terrestrial, aquatic or semi-aquatic, ranging from 0.5 to 1.10 mm in length. The members of this large and diverse family are varied in size (1.2 to 12 mm) and shape. In the family Lygaeidae are known as "seed bugs" because they feed on mature seeds, although some species suck sap or are entomophagous. In Peru the diversity of subfamilies is not determined due to some study of their taxonomy. Describes the diagnosis and figures herein three subfamilies: Lygaeinae (225), Orsilininae (24) and Ischnorhynchinae (14).

Belonochilus numenius (Say) (Heteroptera Lygaeidae) is reported for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula, from two specimens, one at each of two urban areas in Catalonia (Spain). The suspected host plant, Platanus sp., is very common as an ornamental at the collecting sites. This is the second report for the Palaearctic Region, after collections in France (Matocq, 2008).
