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.

Kim J., Taszakowski A. & Bartkowski L.: "Additional new species of the genus Pseudoloxops Kirkaldy, 1905 (Hemiptera: Miridae: Orthotylinae) from Southeast Asia".

Three new species of the orthotyline plant bug genus Pseudoloxops Kirkaldy, P. rosae sp. nov., P. banari sp. nov., and P. linnavuorii sp. nov. are described from Laos and Malaysia, expanding the known distribution of the genus in Southeast Asia. All three species are relatively large in size for the genus and can be readily distinguished by a combination of external morphological and male genital characters, which are documented in detail.

The fifth paper from the current issue of the Journal of the International Heteropterists’ Society:

Amaru-Castelo J. et al.: "New Country Records and Regional Distribution Updates for Coreidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) from Peru."

Coreidae is the fifth largest family within Heteroptera, comprising more than 2600 species classified into approximately 693 genera. This family is particularly diverse in the Neotropical Region. Despite this high diversity, taxonomic and distributional knowledge of Peruvian Coreidae remains limited. Here, we report 12 species collected during multiple expeditions conducted by the Centro de Investigación Zoológica in Cusco Department and neighboring areas. Six species are recorded for the first time from Peru: Crinocerus sanctus (Fabricius, 1775), Leptoglossus halatus Brailovsky and Barrera, 2024, Anasa auricularia Brailovsky, 1985, Anasa varicornis (Westwood, 1842), Nyttum punctatum (Dallas, 1852), and Spartocera melas Brailovsky, 1987. Additionally, new departmental records are provided for six species: Camptischium clavipes (Fabricius, 1803) (Cusco), Leptoglossus gonagra (Fabricius, 1775) (Cusco), Piezogaster rubropictus (Montandon, 1897) (Cusco), Euagona diana Dallas, 1852 (Madre de Dios), Spartocera batatas (Fabricius, 1798) (Cusco), and Sephina pustulata (Fabricius, 1803) (Cusco).
