Geocoris barberi
bigeyed bug
Geocoris barberi is a species of bigeyed bug in the family Geocoridae, described by Readio & Sweet in 1982. Species in the genus Geocoris are recognized as important natural enemies of agricultural insect pests. They serve as biological control agents in integrated pest management programs, particularly in crop systems such as cucumber fields where they help suppress pest populations.

davisi
big-eyed bug
Geocoris davisi is a species of big-eyed bug in the family Geocoridae, described by Barber in 1935. It belongs to a genus of predatory true bugs widely recognized as important natural enemies of agricultural pests. Species in the genus Geocoris are commonly used in habitat management strategies for integrated pest management, though specific biological details for G. davisi remain limited in the available literature.
Geocoris decoratus
big-eyed bug
Geocoris decoratus is a species of big-eyed bug (family Geocoridae) native to North America, with recorded presence in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. As a member of the genus Geocoris, it is a predatory insect that contributes to biological control of agricultural pests. The species was described by Uhler in 1877. Like other Geocoris species, it likely serves as a natural enemy of various crop pests, though specific ecological studies on G. decoratus are limited compared to better-known congeners such as G. punctipes.
Geocoris discopterus
big-eyed bug
Geocoris discopterus is a species of big-eyed bug in the family Geocoridae, first described by Stål in 1874. It is found in North America, with records from the United States and Canada. As a member of the genus Geocoris, it is likely a predatory insect, though specific ecological details for this species are poorly documented in the available literature. The species is distinguished from congeners by subtle morphological features of the hemelytra and genitalia.
Geocoris flavilineus
bigeyed bug
Geocoris flavilineus is a species of bigeyed bug in the family Geocoridae, first described by Stål in 1874. Like other members of the genus Geocoris, it is a predatory true bug with notably large eyes. The species has been recorded from Central and South America including Guatemala, Panama, and Colombia. Bigeyed bugs in this genus are recognized as beneficial predators in agricultural systems, feeding on various small arthropod pests.
Geocoris limbatus
big-eyed bug
Geocoris limbatus is a species of big-eyed bug in the family Geocoridae, occurring in North America. Like other members of the genus Geocoris, it is a generalist predator of small arthropods and is considered beneficial in agricultural systems. The species was described by Stål in 1874.
Geocoris lividipennis
bigeyed bug
Geocoris lividipennis is a predatory true bug in the family Geocoridae, commonly known as bigeyed bugs. The species is recognized as a beneficial insect in agricultural systems, where it serves as a natural enemy of various crop pests. Adults and nymphs are generalist predators that feed on small arthropods and their eggs. The species has a broad distribution across the Americas and Caribbean islands.
Geocoris nanus
big-eyed bug
Geocoris nanus is a small predatory true bug in the family Geocoridae, commonly known as big-eyed bugs. The species was described by Barber in 1935. Like other members of the genus Geocoris, it is recognized as a beneficial insect in agricultural systems, serving as a natural enemy of various crop pests. The species is distributed in North America, with records from the United States.
Geocoris omani
bigeyed bug
Geocoris omani is a species of bigeyed bug in the family Geocoridae, first described by Barber in 1935. As a member of the genus Geocoris, it shares the characteristic large, prominent eyes that give these insects their common name. Bigeyed bugs are predatory true bugs that feed on various small arthropods and are considered beneficial insects in agricultural systems. The species has been recorded from the United States, with specific locality data documented by Slater in 1964.
Geocoris pallens-or-bullatus
bigeyed bug
Geocoris pallens-or-bullatus is a species of bigeyed bug in the family Geocoridae. Species in the genus Geocoris are recognized as important natural enemies of agricultural insect pests. They have been observed in association with crops including cucumber, where they contribute to biological control of pest populations. The specific epithet "pallens-or-bullatus" indicates taxonomic uncertainty or an unresolved species complex designation.
Geocoris paulus
big-eyed bug
Geocoris paulus is a predatory true bug in the family Geocoridae, commonly known as big-eyed bugs. This species is native to North America and shares the general characteristics of the genus Geocoris, including prominent eyes and predatory feeding habits. Like other Geocoris species, it is considered a beneficial insect in agricultural systems due to its role as a predator of various pest insects.
Geocoris thoracicus
big-eyed bug
A predatory true bug in the family Geocoridae. Like other Geocoris species, it is a generalist predator of small arthropods and insect eggs. The species occurs in the Americas from the southern United States through Central America to northern South America.
Geocoris undescribed
bigeyed bug
An undescribed species within the genus Geocoris, commonly known as bigeyed bugs. Members of this genus are recognized as important natural enemies of agricultural insect pests. This particular species is referenced in studies examining habitat management for integrated pest management, specifically in the context of red clover plantings in cucumber fields where it contributes to biological control of crop pests.
Isthmocoris imperialis
big-eyed bug
Isthmocoris imperialis is a species of big-eyed bug in the family Geocoridae, a group of small predatory true bugs. The species occurs in Central America and North America, with records from the United States, Mexico, and Guatemala. Big-eyed bugs are generally recognized as beneficial predators in agricultural and natural systems.
Isthmocoris piceus
big-eyed bug
Isthmocoris piceus is a species of big-eyed bug in the family Geocoridae. It is a predatory true bug found in North America. The species was described by Thomas Say in 1831. As a member of Geocoridae, it likely participates in biological control of small arthropod pests, though specific ecological studies on this species appear limited.
