Cymus guatemalanus is a seed bug in the family Cymidae, originally described from Guatemala in 1893. The species has been documented in Middle America and Mexico, with a 2012 interception in Philadelphia representing its first recorded occurrence in the United States. It was found in a shipment of cassava and chayotes from Costa Rica. The species has been referred to under the synonym Dalmochrimnus guatemalanus in some agricultural inspection contexts.
Myodocha
Long-necked Seed Bugs
Myodocha is a genus of true bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae, commonly known as long-necked seed bugs. The genus contains approximately 10 described species distributed primarily in the Americas. Members are recognized by their distinctive elongated head and pronotum, which gives them their common name. The genus was established by Latreille in 1807. At least one species, Myodocha unispinosa, has been intercepted at U.S. ports of entry on commercial produce shipments from Mexico, indicating potential for accidental introduction.
