Aradus funestus
Aradus funestus is a species of flat bug in the family Aradidae, first described by Bergroth in 1913. It belongs to the genus Aradus, which comprises approximately 200 species of bark-dwelling true bugs. The species is found in North America, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
Aradus intermedius
Aradus intermedius is a species of flat bug in the family Aradidae, described by Usinger in 1936. The species belongs to a genus of bark-dwelling true bugs characterized by their dorsoventrally flattened bodies. As with other members of Aradidae, it is presumed to inhabit subcortical environments, though specific details of its biology remain poorly documented in the provided sources.
Aradus pannosus
Aradus pannosus is a species of flat bug in the family Aradidae, described by Van Duzee in 1920. It belongs to a genus of bark-dwelling true bugs found primarily in the Northern Hemisphere. Species in this genus are typically associated with dead wood habitats. The specific epithet 'pannosus' (Latin for 'ragged' or 'clothed in rags') may allude to surface texture or appearance.
Aradus unnamed-ariz
A flat bug species in the genus Aradus, presumably from Arizona based on the provisional name. The genus Aradus comprises bark-dwelling true bugs characterized by their dorsoventrally flattened bodies adapted for living in narrow spaces under bark. Species in this genus are commonly associated with dead or dying trees where they feed on fungal hyphae.
Iralunelus politus
Iralunelus politus is a species of flat bug in the family Aradidae, order Hemiptera. Originally described as Aneurus politus by Thomas Say in 1832, this species has been reclassified into the genus Iralunelus. Aradidae, commonly known as flat bugs or bark bugs, are a family of true bugs characterized by their dorsoventrally flattened bodies adapted for living under bark and in other tight spaces. The family is primarily tropical in distribution, though some species extend into temperate regions of North America.
Mezira lobata
Mezira lobata is a species of flat bug in the family Aradidae, commonly known as bark bugs. The species was described by Thomas Say in 1832. It occurs in Central America and North America. Like other aradids, it has a strongly flattened body form adapted for living in tight spaces under bark.
Nannium
Nannium is a genus of flat bugs in the family Aradidae, established by Bergroth in 1898. Members of this genus are true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) characterized by their dorsoventrally flattened bodies, an adaptation for living in narrow spaces under bark or within decaying wood. The genus belongs to a family of insects commonly known as flat bugs or bark bugs, which are primarily associated with dead and decaying wood habitats.
Quilnus niger
Quilnus niger is a species of true bug in the family Aradidae, commonly known as flat bugs or bark bugs. Members of this family are typically found in association with decaying wood and fungi. The genus Quilnus is part of the diverse Hemiptera order, which includes true bugs with piercing-sucking mouthparts. Specific ecological details for this species remain limited in published literature.
