Offspring chemical cues affect maternal food provisioning in burrower bugs, Sehirus cinctus
Animal Behaviour, 2005Female burrower bugs (Sehirus cinctus, Hemiptera: Cydnidae) show extended care for their offspring. They guard their clutch and feed the hatched nymphs up to the third larval instar. Previous research indicated that nymphs partly regulate maternal food provisioning, but how nymphs accomplish this is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that nymphs solicit

Burrower bugs are typical pentatomoid insects, small to medium in size, recognized by the morphological adaptations for digging. However, some cydnids live aboveground or on vegetation, feeding on falling seeds or even plant tissues.

Maternal Care in the Burrower Bug Adomerus triguttulus: Defensive Behavior
Journal of Insect Behavior, 2008Some burrower bugs (Heteroptera: Cydnidae) show complex patterns of maternal care, including defense against predators and the provisioning of food to nymphs. Recently, the subsocial cydnid bugs have attracted the interest of researchers as model systems to study the behavioral ecology of parental investment.

Maternal vibration induces synchronous hatching in a subsocial burrower bug
Animal Behaviour, 2012In some egg-laying species, parents provide care by regulating the hatching pattern for embryos because the survival and growth of offspring are influenced by the timing of hatching. Burrower bugs, Adomerus rotundus (Heteroptera: Cydnidae) exhibit maternal care including defence against predation and provision of food. We found that A. rotundus mothers

A rationalized classification of the Burrower Bugs (Cydnidae)
Systematic Entomology, 1981Abstract Cydnidae are defined as those Pentatomoidea with setal combs at the apices of the coxae and a strigil on the ventral surface of the metathoracic wing. Eight subfamilies are recognized: Thaumastellinae, Amnestinae, Cydninae, Scaptocorinae, Sehirinae, Garsauriinae, Thyreocorinae (including only

A review of burrower bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Cydnidae sensu lato) of Guam
Zootaxa, 2010Five species representing the family Cydnidae sensu lato are recorded from Guam; three of them are reported for the first time from the island: Byrsinus varians (Fabricius, 1803), Fromundus biimpressus (Horváth, 1919), and Rhytidoporus indentatus Uhler, 1877.

Association of a Burrower Bug (Heteroptera: Cydnidae) with Aflatoxin Contamination of Peanut Kernels
Journal of Entomological Science, 2004Aflatoxin contamination of peanut kernels, Arachis hypogaea L., was associated with feeding by a burrower bug, Pangaeus bilineatus (Say). Kernel samples were divided into three grade categories: total sound mature kernels (TSMK), other kernels (OK), and damaged kernels (DK); and each of these grade categories was subdivided based on evidence of ...

This study investigates 2 patterns of maternal behavior typical of mammals, using a heteropteran insect as the study animal. Sehirus cinctus, a burrower bug (Heteroptera: Cydnidae), exhibits relatively well-developed maternal behavior that includes guarding eggs and provisioning offspring.

AbstractThe burrower bugScaptocoris castaneaPerty, 1830 (Hemiptera: Cydnidae) is an agricultural pest feeding on roots of several crops. The histology and ultrastructure of the salivary glands ofS. castaneawere described. The salivary system has a pair of principal salivary glands and a pair of accessory salivary glands. The principal salivary gland is

Differential egg cannibalism by hatchlings in a burrower bug: Trophic and viable eggs
Ecological EntomologyAbstract In animals that exhibit cannibalism among relatives, victim discrimination by cannibals can affect their inclusive fitness. Moreover, when viability varies among potential victims, cannibals are expected to consume less viable ...
