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.

Cunha E.V.P. et al. "Hypoxys (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Edessinae): new species and updated identification keys for the species".

TThe genus Hypoxys Amyot & Serville, 1843 was recently revalidated and reviewed. Hypoxys is the second most numerous genus in Edessinae, with around 50 species described so far. Here, 12 new species of Hypoxys, distributed in three species groups, are described: H. quadridens group (H. afasciatus sp. nov. H. ambiguus sp. nov. H. variegatus sp. nov.), H. oxyacanthus group (H. bimaculatus sp. nov. H. stenospilus sp. nov.) and H. balteatus group (H. caienensis sp. nov. H. colombianus sp. nov. H. montanus sp. nov. H. oblongus sp. nov. H. splendidus sp. nov. H. tapirapensis sp. nov. H. tucumensis sp. nov.). Diagnoses for the species, distributional maps, and updated identification keys for the species groups of Hypoxys are provided. The female paratypes of H. breddini Mendonça, Nunes & Fernandes, 2021 are transferred to H. venustus Mendonça, Nunes & Fernandes, 2021. The geographical distribution of H. venustus is expanded.

Wu Y-F. et al. "Complete mitochondrial genome of Saldoida armata Horv�ath, 1911 (Heteroptera: Saldidae) and phylogenetic analysis".

The complete mitochondrial genome of Saldoida armata (Heteroptera: Saldidae) is 16,049 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs) and a control region. All the PCGs are initially encoded by ATN, TTG or GTG, and terminated coding with TAA or a single T. With the exception of trnS(AGN), all tRNAs exhibit a typical cloverleaf secondary structure. Phylogenetic analysis reveals the sister relationship of S. armata with other
Saldidae members. The complete mitogenome of S. armata will provide useful genetic information for species identification, phylogenetic analysis and conservation of this species.

Balukjian B., Van Dam M.H. "Using integrative taxonomy to delimit species in the plant bug genus Pseudoloxops (Hemiptera: Miridae) in French Polynesia".

We use integrative taxonomy to elucidate species boundaries of the plant bug genus Pseudoloxops (Kirkaldy 1905) in the Austral and Society archipelagos of French Polynesia. We operationalize the unified species concept by treating each individual as a potential species and then establish initial groupings (putative species) following statistically highly-supported reciprocal monophyly of individuals in a phylogenetic analysis of CO1, 16S, and 28S gene fragments. We then test our species hypotheses against additional lines of evidence from geometric morphometrics, genetic distance, discrete genitalic morphology, plant association, and geographic distribution partitions. Twenty species endemic to French Polynesia are recognized as follows: Pseudoloxops aama Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops anaana Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops baileyi Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops chastaoliancai Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops harrisonfordi Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops kamalaharrisae Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops oboyskii Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops papepihaa Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops puarata Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops raimana Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops ravataputuarai Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops simberloffi Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops tairoto Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops temehanirahi Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops tiapai Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops toparaamahana Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov., Pseudoloxops tupapaau Balukjian & Van Dam, sp. nov. New synonyms are proposed for Pseudoloxops flavus (Knight, 1937) [=Pseudoloxops rubrocuneatus (Knight, 1937)] and Pseudoloxops adamsoni (Knight, 1937) [= Pseudoloxops nigribasicornis (Knight, 1937) and = Pseudoloxops tahiticus (Knight, 1937)]. Pseudoloxops rubroclavus (Knight, 1937) is described.
