Tempyra testacea
Tempyra testacea is a species of seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae, described by Barber in 1948. It belongs to the tribe Udeocorini within the subfamily Rhyparochrominae. The species is known from the United States based on published records. As a member of Rhyparochromidae, it is presumed to be a ground-dwelling seed bug, though specific biological details remain poorly documented in the available literature.
Udeocorini
dirt-colored seed bugs
Udeocorini is a tribe of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae, established by Sweet in 1967. The tribe comprises approximately 17 genera and more than 30 described species. Members are primarily found in association with ground-level habitats where seeds are available. At least one genus within the tribe, Daerlac, exhibits myrmecomorphy (ant mimicry).
Uhleriola
Uhleriola is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae, containing a single described species, U. floralis. The genus was established by Horváth in 1908. Members of this genus belong to the diverse assemblage of true bugs commonly referred to as seed bugs or ground bugs.
Valtissius
Valtissius is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae, established by Barber in 1918. The genus contains at least three described species. Members belong to the tribe Lethaeini within the subfamily Rhyparochrominae.
Xanthochilus saturnius
Mediterranean seed bug
Xanthochilus saturnius, commonly known as the Mediterranean seed bug, is a small true bug in the family Rhyparochromidae. It measures 6–8 mm and displays distinctive black-on-tan coloration. The species is native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean region, with established populations in North America. It feeds primarily on seeds of Lamiaceae and Scrophulariaceae plants.
Xestocoris nitens
dirt-colored seed bug
Xestocoris nitens is a species of dirt-colored seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae, tribe Lethaeini. It was described by Van Duzee in 1906. A lectotype was designated and redescribed in 2007, with new distributional records provided for the species. The species belongs to a genus of rhyparochromine bugs found in North America.
Xyonysius basalis
Xyonysius basalis is a seed bug species in the family Lygaeidae, first described by Dallas in 1852. The species has a broad distribution across the Americas, ranging from the Caribbean through Central America to North and South America. It belongs to the subfamily Orsillinae and tribe Metrargini. Available information on its biology and ecology remains limited.
Zeridoneus costalis
dirt-colored seed bug
Zeridoneus costalis is a species of dirt-colored seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae, first described by Van Duzee in 1909. The species is known from North America, with records from the United States and Canada. As a member of the Rhyparochromidae, it belongs to a family of ground-dwelling seed bugs typically associated with feeding on seeds.
Zeridoneus knulli
dirt-colored seed bug
Zeridoneus knulli is a species of dirt-colored seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae, first described by Barber in 1948. It belongs to the tribe Myodochini within the subfamily Rhyparochrominae. The species is recorded from North America, with confirmed distribution in the United States. As a member of the seed bug family, it is likely associated with ground-dwelling habitats and seed-feeding ecology typical of the group, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
Zeropamera
Zeropamera is a genus of seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae, established by Barber in 1948. It belongs to the tribe Myodochini within the subfamily Rhyparochrominae. The genus is poorly documented in scientific literature, with very few observations recorded. Members of this genus are true bugs (Hemiptera) characterized by their piercing-sucking mouthparts.
Zeropamera nigra
Zeropamera nigra is a species of seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae, described by Barber in 1948. It belongs to the tribe Myodochini, a group of ground-dwelling seed bugs. Very little is known about its biology or ecology. Records indicate it occurs in the United States, though specific habitat associations and life history details remain undocumented.
