The broad objectives of the International Heteropterists’ Society (IHS) are to promote systematic, biogeographic, and biological studies of Heteroptera and to cultivate cooperative research among heteropterists throughout the world. The Society is organized and operated exclusively for scientific and educational purposes.

The Society holds a meeting every four years at locations around the world, where members give presentations on their work and discuss the directions of the Society. The Society’s website provides an online portal for distribution of information about bugs, including a world bibliography, taxon pages, and membership details.

Interested in joining the IHS? Read more about the Society and information on membership. You can also donate to the Student Travel Fund your contribution is very valuable!

We had an excellent presentation about the next Meeting in Thailand during the last Truebug Tuesday.

New paper!

Cruces L., Livia C. & Vergara C.: "Redescription of the female of Euschistus (Euschistus) rubiginosus Dallas, 1851 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) and records of its crop hosts".

Euschistus (Euschistus) rubiginosus Dallas, 1851, was originally described from a female specimen collected in Brazil. Male specimens from Peru and Ecuador were described by Rolston in 1984. In the present study, we redescribe the female based on freshly reared individuals and specimens deposited in the Museum of Entomology “Klaus Raven Büller” that were collected from agricultural fields in Peru. The female genitalia are described here for the first time. In addition, we provide new data on its geographical distribution in Peru and crop hosts, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of its pest status.
